How Soon Scores Are Ready
Most scores are available online within 2½ weeks after each national test date. Your scores are not reported any faster if you view them online. Score reports are usually mailed to your home within 3 to 8 weeks after each test date. If you took Writing, your score report will be mailed only after your Writing scores are available, normally 2 weeks after your multiple-choice scores (within 5 to 8 weeks after the test date).
Please note:
- If you tested through Special, Arranged, Project, or DANTES testing, your scores are not available for viewing online.
- If you tested through State testing during Spring 2008, your scores from that administration will be added about one week after you receive your ACT score report in the mail.
- Beginning mid-October 2008, if you test through Special Testing, you can also view your scores online about a week after your official score report arrives.
- ACT keeps all of your test information confidential! We cannot give scores to anyone by phone, email, or fax.
Once you know your scores
You may want to order another copy for yourself or send them to more colleges or scholarship agencies.
We have a separate record for each test date. ACT does not create new records by averaging scores from different test dates. If you ask us to send a report to a college, we will release only the record for the test date you choose.
