Hey all! I just took my SAT and felt that it went really well. Just wondering how long the wait usually is before scores get released? Thanks!
Generally, the College Board releases SAT scores about 10-13 days after the test date in a regular scenario. However, this timeframe can occasionally stretch a bit longer depending on the time of year and other logistic elements. Once released, you should be able to access your scores via your College Board account online.
Do remember that while this is normally the case, there might be exceptions due to unforeseen circumstances such as disruptions, technical issues, or other situations that could potentially delay the score release. So, it's a good idea to periodically check your account or any updates from the College Board. Keep in mind, too, that if you plan on sending your scores to colleges, the College Board still takes a couple of days to process those requests after your scores have been released. So be sure to factor in those extra days if you're working against application deadlines.
