Hey there! I just took the ACT and did the essay too. Bit concerned though, I know our multiple choice scores come out quickly, but when do the essay scores usually come out? Super stressed here, thanks for any info!
Hey! Totally understandable to be a tad nervous during this waiting period. As for your ACT essay (also known as the Writing section), the scoring does take a bit longer to process compared to the multiple-choice sections. Typically, ACT essay scores are released about two weeks after you get your multiple-choice scores.
Just keep in mind that this is a common time frame and it could be different in some instances. Fulfilling high volumes of test takers and various operational aspects can sometimes make the exact release date vary slightly. So, a bit of patience might be needful. Hope this helps! Hang tight, you'll get your results before you know it.
