Hi everyone, just took the ACT and I'm getting quite anxious about receiving my scores. Does anyone know when the results are typically released after taking the test? Is there a general timeline or does it vary?
Hi! It's natural to feel anxious about receiving your ACT scores. Generally, multiple-choice ACT scores are released about ten business days after the test date. However, the timeline can vary slightly depending on factors like the volume of test takers and any potential delays in scoring.
The writing portion of the ACT, if you took it, usually takes a bit longer to be scored. Writing scores are typically available about two weeks after your multiple-choice scores are released.
To check your scores, you can log in to your ACT account on the ACT website. They'll also send you an email when your scores are ready. Keep in mind that these are just the general timelines, and there may be exceptions or variations depending on individual circumstances. But you should have your scores soon! Good luck!
