Hey fellow students, I just took the ACT and I'm a little stressed about when I'll get my scores back. How long does it usually take for ACT scores to come back? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey! No need to stress too much about your ACT scores. Generally, multiple-choice scores are released within 10 days after the test date. However, if you took the ACT with the writing section, the scores for that can take slightly longer—usually about two to three weeks after the multiple-choice scores have been released. So, in total, you can expect your full ACT score report within 2-8 weeks of taking the test.
It's important to remember that these timelines are approximate and can vary depending on factors like the volume of test-takers for that specific test date and any unexpected delays. To keep track of your scores, you can log in to your ACT account on their website and check for updates.
Best of luck, and I hope you get the scores you're aiming for!
