Time for college to receive ACT score

Does anyone know when a college might receive the April 13 ACT score? My daughter is considering taking it in hopes to hit the next highest scholarship level, but it has to arrive by May 1 to do so. The ACT site is vague on how long it takes.

Not sure, but mine had to send hers to the school she accepted recently, and it was to them within 2 days. Did you list them on the test registration to receive it?

We haven’t signed her up yet. She just missed with today’s SAT score release. We would list the college at registration though. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the chance or not. I emailed the scholarship office to see if they had any advice, but haven’t heard back.

Two days would be great.

Or if they’d extend since other financials are being extended? I’d email and explain teh situation!

Most scores will be out 4/23-4/25, and they send the next business day after you order them. She should be fine! Good luck.

Great! Thank you.

The SAT has a rush Service but most colleges advise against it because usually it makes little difference. They also sent scores on certain days of the week so timing depends on when you put in your request.

Does the ACT have that? I’ve looked but didn’t see a rush service.

They don’t offer it. ACT sends all scores the next business day by default where college Board only sends SAT scores the next Wendesday unless you order rush.

For my kids we’ve almost always received the score 10 days after the test
