Hey guys, just a quick question. I was wondering, how soon can students see their standardized test scores (like SAT or ACT) after taking the test? I know they're released in batches, but is there a general time frame that I can expect to see my results? Thanks!
Hello! For the SAT, you can generally expect to receive your multiple-choice test scores approximately 13-15 days after taking the test. Keep in mind that during busier testing periods, such as the popular fall and spring testing windows, you may experience minor delays. As for the ACT, you'll typically have access to your multiple-choice test scores within 10-14 days after taking the exam, while Writing scores are usually available 2-3 weeks later. However, it's worth noting that ACT sometimes takes longer to release scores, so it's not uncommon for some students to wait up to 8 weeks.
In both cases, you'll receive an email notification when your scores are available, and you can then view them by logging into your respective online accounts (College Board for SAT and ACT for ACT). Keep in mind that these time frames are just approximate, so it's best to stay patient and check your email frequently for updates. Good luck!
