Hey, I just took the ACT and I'm wondering when I can expect to see my scores? How long does it usually take for scores to be released after taking the test, and where can I view them? Also, any idea how score release dates might be affected by COVID?
Hey there! After taking the ACT, you can generally expect to see your scores within 10 business days after the test date, or sometimes even sooner. Multiple-choice scores typically come out first, followed by writing scores about two weeks later if you opted for the ACT with writing.
To check your scores, you will need to log in to the ACT website using your account credentials. Your scores will be posted on your MyACT account dashboard under the "Scores" section.
Keep in mind that it may take longer for your official score reports to be sent to colleges, so always account for a few extra weeks when planning your application deadlines. Good luck!
