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

Test Preparation

<p>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:</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading: 610 - 700
SAT Math: 640 - 720
SAT Writing: 610 - 700</p>

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

<p>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</p>
