Hi everyone! I'm planning on taking the ACT next February, and I want to get a sense of when I might get my scores back, for my planning purposes. Anyone know?
Hi there! You can expect your ACT scores to be released anywhere from 10 to 14 business days after your test date. The timeframe can vary depending on factors such as the number of tests being processed and any potential delays, but generally, you'll receive your multiple-choice scores within this window.
Writing scores (if you took the ACT with writing) are often released about two weeks after your multiple-choice scores. You can check for updates on your scores by logging into your ACT account on the official ACT website.
Finally, if you're looking for tips on how to prepare for the ACT between now and February, consider taking advantage of resources like CollegeVine's blog, which contains a series of posts focused on test prep. Here's one such post, which is for the science section specifically: https://blog.collegevine.com/act-science-formulas/
Good luck with your preparation, and I hope you get the results you're hoping for!
