Hey y'all, can anyone explain when exactly I'll have access to my SAT scores after I've taken the exam? I've heard mixed stories about when they come out, and I want to plan ahead. Any idea when I can expect them and is there a special process to getting them?
After you've taken your SAT, you should normally expect to receive your scores back in about 10-13 days. Occasionally, it might take a little longer due to holidays or unexpected delays, but this is generally a good estimate for planning purposes.
To access your scores, you would log in to your College Board account when the scores have become available. An email will be sent to you by the College Board notifying you that your scores are ready to be viewed. In your account, you'll find a tab designated for scores where you can view and send them to colleges.
Keep in mind that scores are released in batches throughout the day so don't panic if you don't see your scores early in the day, they may be in a later batch.
It's also a good idea to mark down when you should be receiving your scores in your planning calendar. If you don't receive your scores within the anticipated timeframe, you can reach out to College Board for further assistance.
