Hi everyone! I took the March ACT, and now the wait for the scores is killing me. How long does it generally take for them to release the scores, and do they come out all at the same time or in waves? Thanks!
Hi there! Waiting for standardized test scores can indeed be nerve-wracking! The ACT typically takes about 2 weeks to release scores after the test date. However, this timeframe can sometimes vary, so if 2 weeks have already passed, don't panic.
Additionally, scores are usually released in waves. This means that while some students might receive their scores in the first batch, others might have to wait a bit longer. It's important to remember that there is no specific order or priority in releasing the scores - so don't worry if it takes a little longer for yours to be available. Just continue checking your online account, as scores are only released online and not through phone or email.
Once the scores are released, you'll be able to log into your ACT account and view them. It's a good idea to download and save a copy of your score report for your records. Best of luck, and remember that while waiting can be annoying, ultimately when you receive your scores has no bearing on your actual performance!
