ACT scores are typically released within 2 to 8 weeks after the test date. Most students receive their multiple-choice scores about 10 days (roughly 2 weeks) after the exam, with scores often appearing on a Tuesday or Thursday following the Saturday test date. Writing scores, if you took the optional writing section, are released about two weeks after the multiple-choice scores

. The exact timing can vary depending on factors such as whether you took the test on an equating test date (which can delay scores to 3-8 weeks), the test format (online tests score faster, around 2 weeks, while paper tests may take 3-8 weeks), and any issues with your test materials or registration

. Scores are posted to your MyACT account and sent to the high schools and colleges you designated. Colleges typically receive scores about a week after they are posted online

. In summary:

• Earliest score release: about 10 days after test day
• Typical range: 2 to 8 weeks after test day
• Writing scores: about 2 weeks after multiple-choice scores
• Online test scores: about 2 weeks
• Paper test scores: 3 to 8 weeks

Delays beyond this timeframe can occur due to late answer document arrival, irregularities, or incomplete registration information

. You will be notified by email when your scores are available to view online in your MyACT account
