Hello, friends! I'll be taking the SAT this year and I'd like to know when the scores typically get released for each test date. Trying to plan out my college application process accordingly. Thanks for any help!
Hello! It's always a good idea to plan ahead during the college application process, especially when it comes to test scores. For the SAT, scores are typically released about 13 days after the test date, although in some cases it might take up to six weeks. Here are the general timelines for score releases based on the test months:
1. August Test Date: Scores are usually available around early September.
2. October Test Date: Expect scores around late October.
3. November Test Date: You'll likely receive scores in late November or early December.
4. December Test Date: Results should come out around late December.
5. March Test Date: Students can anticipate scores around late March.
6. May Test Date: Scores should be released around late May or early June.
7. June Test Date: Lastly, results should be out around early to mid-July.
Keep in mind that these are approximate timelines and could change, so refer to the College Board website for the most up-to-date information. Also, remember that if you're planning to send scores to colleges, they will need time to receive and process them, which might take a few extra days. It's generally advisable to send your test scores as soon as you're comfortable with your results.
I hope this helps with your planning and good luck on your SAT!
