After you finish your ACT exam, you may wonder something along the lines of, “How long does it take to get ACT scores?”

Students who take the full ACT without the writing component should receive their scores roughly 2 weeks after their test dates. Students who take the ACT test without the writing component should receive their scores roughly 4 weeks after their test dates. You can view your test results by logging in to your MyACT account. 

Note: There is an exception to the above guidelines; if you took your test in October or February, your test results may take up to 3-8 weeks to be released. For more information, please see the ACT page on score reporting windows. 

It is worth stating that the ACT often does not always meet the aforementioned reporting deadlines. When planning your test dates, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
