Hello! I'm planning on taking the ACT in September and was curious if anyone knows when the scores are typically released? I'd like to have a rough idea of when I'll receive my scores, as it plays a role in my application timeline.
Hello! The ACT organization usually releases the scores starting approximately 10 days after the test date. However, do keep in mind that scores can be rolled out over several days, so it's possible that you might receive your scores a little later. To be safe, it's a good idea to expect a score release within 2-3 weeks after taking the test.
As you plan your application timeline, also consider the time it may take for colleges to receive your scores, as this can add additional time to the process. Many colleges have deadlines for test scores, so make sure to check their requirements and plan accordingly. Good luck on your test and the application process!
