Feeling a bit anxious here, but does anyone have a clue about the typical waiting period for ACT results? Just took the exam and the wait is killing me!
I completely understand the anxiety that comes with waiting for your ACT results. Based on my experience with my own child, you can expect your multiple-choice scores to be available within 2-3 weeks after you take the exam. While it's difficult to be patient, it's important to remember that the ACT team needs sufficient time to ensure the accuracy of the results.
As for the Writing section (if you opted to take it), those scores typically take a bit longer to be released – usually an additional 2-3 weeks. So, if you took the Writing section as well, you can expect your complete set of scores to be available within 4-6 weeks from your test date.
Hang in there, and remember that worrying won't change the outcome. In the meantime, you can focus on other aspects of your college application or simply enjoy some downtime. Good luck!
