What are a few main reasons of why some scores are delayed?
I havent gotten my scores yet from the June test and my testing status is still “registered”. I tested with 1.5x extended time. When i tested for my 1st ACT on state/district testing day on April 19th, I also got my scores back later than people who tested under normal conditions. Is it ACT policy to release extended time/accommodation scores later than the rest? If so, when do the extended time scores come out usually. (I triple checked all the required information on the answer sheet so i know for sure that my score isn’t late because of an error regarding that). Thank you!
I think the most likely reason is that the test is simply not yet graded, they have over 1.5 million tests to grade.
It is also possible for test scores to be delayed because of a student error when filling out info on the answer sheet.
Another reason could be a problem at the testing center.
Apparently a lot of people’s tests are not yet graded, ours included. It would be nice if they waited and released everyone’s at the same time. Although I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
When will the next batch of scores be released? Thanks
@tiensters Friday
When will the status change to tested? The day before the scores are released (Tuesday or Thursday)?
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
No you cannot post the links, but it’s an easy google search.
The website says that scores usually come out every Wednesday and Friday after the initial release. Is this Wednesday excluded because it seems that everyone is saying we’ll have to wait until Friday?
It would absolutely be nice if they waited to release everyone at the same time. This is stressful enough without having everyone else get their scores except you.
This was my first time taking the test. My location is listed as National when I log in. Is everyone’s location National?
@bobjohnson98 Yes. This Wednesday is excluded. Friday around 8 Central time is the next score release.
@CATDECAL how does the whole registered and tested thing work? When does the status change… the day before our scores are released? Also, if it changes to tested are we guaranteed our scores in the next batch?
All “registered” means is that you have signed up to take the test. Nothing more.
GENERALLY when it switches to “tested” that means that they have graded the multiple choice portion of your test, and you will get your grades with the next release.
I emphasized “generally” because I personally seen scores show up and my status had never changed to “tested” at all. I have heard of one case where someone claimed their status said “tested” but they didn’t get their scores at the next release. (I don’t know if I believe it, but I did hear it once.) So I’d say you are “virtually guaranteed” to get your M/C scores next release once you switch to “tested.”
Usually things start showing up as “tested” on the day before a release. You’ll notice that nobody has reported as “tested” since the first release. I don’t expect we will see that at all until sometime tomorrow.
@CATDECAL ok thank you so much!!!
If I sent a complaint letter to ACT, does that mean my test score won’t be posted until the issue is completely addressed? Also, in my test room, there was a girl who decided not to take the writing portion, so she just said that she’s doing MC. The proctors and other staff said it would be no real issue, but it would be filed as an irregularity. Does that mean that my entire test center would get their scores late, or just the people in my room? Some people at my test center already got their scores…
So should we expect to be “tested” tomorrow if scores come out Friday?
From what I’ve seen here and other places, it seems to be a generous English curve, average/slightly harsh Math curve, and harsh Reading and Science. Would everyone agree with that?
I can confirm that.
@jwn9917 i would say slightly generous math curve… My subscores were 18, 16, 16, and i got a 35 math
Do any of you know how long it takes to get the Test Information Release back?
If they offer a remedy for your “complaint” the remedy is usually to cancel your test and refund your admission fee.
So I’m not sure what your complaint was, but be careful what you ask for.
