Hi guys, I'm stressing a bit about the ACT. How long does it usually take for the scores to come back after taking the exam? I want to be prepared and manage my time wisely.
Hey there! I understand the stress of waiting for ACT scores. Generally, it takes around 10 business days (that's about 2 weeks) for the ACT scores to come back. This timeline starts from the day of the test. The multiple-choice scores are released first, followed by the writing section. Keep in mind that the writing scores might take up to 2 additional weeks to be released.
Best of luck with your ACT results!
