Hey guys, I just took the SAT, and I'm anxious about receiving my scores. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the scores to be released? Are the SAT score release dates predictable, or do they change?
Hey there! I totally understand the anxiety while waiting for your SAT scores. The SAT score release timeline is fairly predictable. For the digital SAT, scores are typically released within 10 days after the test date. If there are any additional delays, it's usually due to complications with scoring, which is relatively rare.
Keep in mind that your multiple-choice scores are released first, while the essay score (if you took the previous version of the SAT that still had the optional essay) might take slightly longer to be released, usually within a few days of your multiple-choice scores.
To stay up-to-date with your score release, you can log in to your College Board account, where updates will be posted as soon as they become available. Hang in there, and good luck with your scores!
