Hey, I just took the ACT, and I'm kind of anxious about getting my scores back. How long does it usually take for them to be posted online?
Hey there! The waiting part can certainly feel nerve-wracking. After you take the ACT, you can generally expect your multiple-choice scores to be available online within 10-14 calendar days. Your writing scores, if you took the ACT with the writing section, will usually be released about two weeks after your multiple-choice scores. Keep in mind that these are approximate timeframes and can sometimes vary a bit.
To check your scores, you'll need to log in to your ACT account on their website, where you'll have access to the score report. It's important to note that certain factors, like holidays or other administrative issues, might cause a slight delay. Having said that, the ACT tends to release scores on a pretty consistent schedule, so you should be able to see your results within the mentioned timeframes. Best of luck, and I hope the scores meet your expectations!
