I took the ACT in October and I'm biting my nails waiting for the scores. Can anybody tell me when they typically come out?
ACT scores typically start to be released 10 business days after you take the exam. This is the earliest you could receive your multiple-choice scores. However, not all scores are released right away. It can sometimes take up to eight weeks for all scores to be sent out.
Please note that if you took the ACT with Writing, your writing score may come a bit later. The ACT aims to release your Writing scores about two weeks after your multiple-choice scores. Your composite score, which includes the Writing score, will be available after all your scores have been reported.
I would recommend keeping an eye on the email account associated with your ACT account, they usually notify you when your scores become available.
