College Board's "College Search" Has Writing Scores Now

The last time I looked up a college (which was ony a few days ago), the CB just gave the SAT ranges for Math and Verbal. Now, a few of the colleges have the Writing ranges. For example, here are Boston College's ranges, according to the College Board Search:

SAT Critical Reading: 610 - 700
SAT Math: 640 - 720
SAT Writing: 610 - 700

When did the CB begin to show the Writing? It certainly took long enough, and only a few of the colleges have it.

Actually I was wondering when that would happen. I don't think it'll be earth shattering for me though.

Hepstar, you can't add up the separate scores and call it the interquartile range for the entire test because the standard deviation will change
