a priority rate/rating

The key to exam success is learning to manage your time effectively. When you make a list of things to do, give each item a priority rating.

Hi,
I googled "priority rating" and "priority rate" alike, and they both existed. So, are they the same to you? Thanks.

Hi Angliholic No, they do not mean the same thing to me. Have you looked up both "rate" and "rating" in the dictionary? In your sentence the word "rating" has a sense of "ranking"/"standing"/"score".
