Hey guys, I'm a bit stressed about my ACT scores. Just took the test a while back and I’m feeling anxious to see my results. Can someone tell me when ACT scores usually get released? Are there specific dates, or does it just vary depending on when you take the test? Thanks for any help.
Firstly, I understand your feelings of anticipation; waiting for results can indeed be nerve-racking. In regards to your question, typically, ACT scores start to be released 10 days after the test date. However, this timeline could extend to up to eight weeks for some students. It's really a rolling process, with some students receiving their scores earlier than others.
While taking the test online usually results in faster score reporting, due to the composition section of the ACT being hand-scored, the release time for Writing scores is generally around two weeks later. If there is any issue with your composition or if it is flagged for review, it could take up to three additional weeks.
You'll get notified via email when your scores are available to check. Make sure to use the right credentials to log in to your ACT profile on the official ACT website to view your scores. Good luck, and I hope you get the results you're hoping for!
