Someone posted that they talked with an ACT rep in another thread, who said that scores come out in batches on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Friday’s. If my status is still “registered”, is there a possibility I’d get it tomorrow or even this week?
I think the conventional wisdom is that your status changes from “registered” to “tested” a few hours before your score is released. So if your score is going to be released at midnight on Thursday, your status will probably change sometime Thursday afternoon.
No idea how reliable that indicator is however.
@thshadow I’ll keep checking—hopefully that works. Thank you!
This reminds me of what I do in a movie theater, while waiting for the movie to start. I keep concentrating on the lights dimming, I imagine it in my mind, I try to really picture it - and sure enough, the lights dim, every time! Though it sometimes takes awhile… 
@thshadow Is that the release time for all batches or only batches after the first? I recall waiting at least one day after my status was changed to “Tested” for my score once.
The secret is - you have to imagine your test scores being released. Keep doing that. Eventually it will work…
i don’t think it means anything. mine said registered when i checked last night, until 9 am today when the scores came out. it said tested after scores were posted
