I'm done with taking the ACT and the anxiety is killing me! Anyone have an idea how long it usually takes to get ACT scores back?
After you've taken the ACT, scores usually start to be posted online within two weeks. For those who took the ACT with writing, the essay scores can take up to two additional weeks after your multiple-choice scores are available to be released.
So, in summary, if you took the ACT without the writing section, you can expect your scores anywhere from two-to-four weeks after your test date.
Remember, though, these are approximate timelines and it might take a bit longer in some instances. Occasionally, scores might take up to eight weeks to be available—this is typically for reasons such as late receipt of answer documents, missing information on the answer document, or other unusual conditions that require additional attention. The ACT recommends that you keep an eye on your account for score updates, and if your scores are not available after eight weeks, to contact ACT Customer Care.
Don't worry though, your scores will definitely be there soon! Good luck reading through your results!
