Hi everyone, I just sat for my ACT test (felt sooo long!) and was just curious, around what time are the scores usually released? Is it by region or do they come out all at once?
The ACT typically posts scores online within 2 to 8 weeks after the test date, but this could vary a bit. When it's time for scores to be released, ACT releases them every Wednesday and Friday. However, not all tests are scored instantly on the first score release date.
It's not exactly by region or done all at once - the ACT scores are released as they are processed, so it can differ for every student. Keep in mind that writing scores come out later than multiple-choice scores as they take more time to evaluate, so if you took the ACT with writing, your full score report might take a bit longer.
Hope this answers your question! Just remember to stay patient and use this time to relax after all your hard work preparing for the ACT.
