Not every score comes out on exactly the same day.

It&#8217;s rare, but it does happen. By planning your ACT test date in advance, you can help ensure that this won&#8217;t have an impact on your college applications (particularly important if you&#8217;re applying for Early Decision or Early Action). <\/p>\n<p>For example, if you take the October ACT, your scores will be posted between three and eight weeks after the test. This happens because the ACT uses an &#8220;equating&#8221; procedure on this exam to ensure that scores from different versions of the tests mean the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>If you took the ACT Writing Test, you\u2019ll be waiting an extra two weeks to receive your complete score. Think of it as training. After all, this is good practice for all the anticipation you&#8217;ll feel waiting for either fat or thin envelopes from the colleges you applied to.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"#contents\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/files\/2017\/08\/back-to-top-button-1-e1502493700147.png\" alt=\"back to top\" width=\"150\" height=\"30\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11102\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a name=\"time\"><\/a><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Time Do ACT Scores Come Out?<\/h2>\n<p><em>Okay, great,<\/em> you may be thinking. <em>So that&#8217;s when I&#8217;ll get my ACT scores.

Send them to colleges!<\/p>\n<p>If you selected schools to receive your scores on your ACT registration, ACT will send the scores directly to up to four colleges for free. After that, you can use your ACT account to send the scores to schools for $19 per report\/per school. <\/p>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t select four schools during registration, you&#8217;ll still have to pay the fee\u2014you don&#8217;t get these reports for free retroactively. This can be a bit of a challenge and involve some cost-benefit analysis on your part during registration. <\/p>\n<p>Should you take advantage of the free score reports and have ACT send the scores before you even see them? Or wait to ensure that you want to send these scores but pay more after the fact? Kristin has some thoughts that can help you decide <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/act-score-reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to send your ACT scores<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In all cases, keep in mind that the ACT doesn&#8217;t send scores to colleges until your writing scores are in&mdash;about four weeks after your test date. This is also important to keep in mind if you&#8217;re planning to\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Retake the Test<\/h3>\n<p>If you get your ACT scores and you&#8217;re not happy with them (whether that&#8217;s your composite score or sectional score), you have options. And your best option is to retake the test. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, you don&#8217;t have to wait to get your scores to plan for an ACT retake. If you really think you did poorly on the ACT, my best advice would be to continue your ACT prep even before you see the results. <\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/how-to-study-for-an-act-retake\/\">retake the ACT<\/a>, you don&#8217;t want to fall out of the habit of studying. You could also put in a mail order for the report on how you did on every question plus the answer key, which would really help with prep for a retake (<a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/act-scores\/\">click here<\/a> for more information on this service, plus more on ACT scores).<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re relatively confident in your test performance, you may still want to go ahead and sign up to retake the test. Even students who score well the first time may still <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/act\/how-many-times-should-i-take-the-act\/\">retake<\/a> the ACT.

In other words, it&#8217;s up to you which scores to send to which schools. But remember that if you selected free score reports at registration, those ACT score reports will go out automatically to the colleges you designated.<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong><font color=#005bc2>When are my writing scores available? <\/font> <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>About two weeks after your multiple-choice scores come out\u2014so four weeks from your test date.<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong><font color=#005bc2>Do US test-takers get their scores earlier? <\/font> <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>No. ACT score release dates are the same around the world. All ACT scores are released at midnight United States Central Time\u2014this is earlier or later in the day depending on where you are in the world, but the scores don&#8217;t come out earlier for US test-takers.<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong><font color=#005bc2>Why do ACT scores take so long to get? <\/font> <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>First of all, because of how many test-takers there are\u2014literally millions! Because essays are graded by real people instead of computers, ACT writing scores take a bit longer as ACT sends, grades, coordinates, and posts your scores. The October tests takes longer because of equating\u2026basically, there are lots of reasons this process takes so long.
