Does anyone here know how long College Board typically takes to release SAT scores? I took my exam last week and the wait is stressing me out. Also, does the score release date change depending on when you take the exam?
The release of SAT scores typically takes around 13 days after the day you took the test. However, this is a general guideline and the exact waiting period can vary. You should also consider the additional time if you've ordered services like Student Answer Service or Question-and-Answer Service.
The date on which you take the exam can indeed influence when you receive your scores. Specifically, if you've taken the test with the Essay portion, it might take slightly longer, specifically about 15 days for multiple-choice scores followed by the essay score within the following five days.
I understand the wait can be stressful, but you can use this time to relax or focus on other areas like extracurricular activities or college applications. You've done your part by taking the test, now it's just a waiting game! Try not to stress too much in the meantime.
