Sup y'all, I've just given my ACT exam and now the anxiety of result is kicking in. Could someone help me understand when the ACT scores are typically released? I've heard it's usually around two weeks, is that right? Would really appreciate any info!
Hey, yes you're correct! Typically, multiple-choice ACT scores start rolling out about ten days after the test date. This can vary somewhat, but in general, you should expect to see your scores within two weeks after the exam.
Keep in mind, if you've taken the Writing section of the ACT, the combined English/Writing scores are usually available a couple of weeks after the multiple-choice scores. The ACT folks have to manually grade all the essays, so it understandably takes a bit longer.
So, try not to stress too much about the wait! It's a normal part of the process, and before you know it, you'll have your scores in hand.
