Hey, I just took the ACT and I'm eager to see my results. How long does it usually take for scores to come out? Is there any way to receive them sooner than the standard waiting time?
Hey! After taking the ACT, you can generally expect your multiple-choice scores to be available 2-3 weeks from the test date, while the writing scores are usually available 2-3 weeks after that. So, if you took the ACT with Writing, your full score report might take 4-6 weeks from the test date to be released. Keep in mind that these timelines are just approximate, and sometimes, scores can take a bit longer to show up in your ACT account.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to expedite the release of your scores. ACT processing times are standard for all test takers to maintain fairness and accuracy. The best thing to do is regularly check your ACT account after the 2-3 week mark and remain patient. Good luck, and I hope you get the score you're aiming for!
