Hi guys. I'm getting a bit edgy about the ACT results. Do you know how long it usually takes for ACT results to come out post test? An approximate would be super helpful.
Sure, I'm happy to help! Typically, ACT scores are released anywhere from 10 days to two weeks after the test date. However, this is just the multiple-choice section that's graded faster. The Writing portion (if you chose to take it) may take an additional two weeks after that. So if you've taken the ACT with Writing, you might need to wait up to a month to get the complete score report.
Do note that these are approximate timelines and can vary based on a number of factors, including the number of students who took the test, holidays, or unanticipated delays. You'll receive an email from ACT once your scores are ready to be viewed online. The anxiety of waiting is definitely understandable, hang in there!
