Hey guys! I'm planning to take the SAT in December, and I'm wondering how long it usually takes for the results to come out after the test? I just want to make sure I have enough time before college application deadlines. Thanks!
Hey there! Typically, it takes about two to three weeks for SAT scores to be released after you've taken the test. In the case of a December SAT, you can expect your scores to be available around the middle or end of December. However, do keep in mind that score release dates may vary slightly each year or even be delayed occasionally.
Given that many regular decision college application deadlines are around January 1st, you should have enough time to include your December SAT results in your applications. Just make sure to keep an eye on specific deadlines for each college you're applying to, as they may differ. In any case, you can always check CollegeBoard's website for the most up-to-date information on SAT score release dates. Good luck on your test, and I hope you get the results you're aiming for!
