8filltheheart Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Is it normal for scores to take this long? I know they post a long time range of possible dates, but this is far longer than we have experienced in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Are his scores not available on-line yet? Ds's were available on the first date they came out - can't recall what that was and we have received paper scores now as well. If you look at his on-line account, does it not say "tested'?

8filltheheart Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 No, they are not available online. It simply says to check back weekly on Wednesdays and Fridays and has all the way to Dec 31 as a possible date. That just seems crazy long. He's had his SAT Oct scores back for weeks and has even received his test booklet in the mail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Wow, that has been a long time! I don't think ours were ever longer than a week past the "first available", although they didn't always manage to send the email telling us they were there...

snowbeltmom Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 According to a thread on College Confidential, there are still some kids who have not received their October ACT results either. A few of the posters have called the ACT customer service and have been told that a huge number of kids took the October ACT and that all of the results will be released by Christmas. It seems ridiculous that it would take that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems ridiculous that it would take that long. Thanks for posting this. I was beginning to wonder if there might be some issue w/his test. Since they know the # of students registered to take the test well in advance of the test date, I wonder why they don't hire more graders to accommodate the higher numbers? I feel for srs who really needed the scores for early decision and didn't factor in the ACT's posted date ranges for scores. Our 11th grader needed test scores for a program he applied to. I am thankful that he took the Oct SAT as well b/c we were able to use the SAT scores for what he needed. The lack of the ACT scores would have meant his admission would have been denied. I signed him up for the SAT b/c of the date ranges the ACT posts for possible dates for scores to be released, so I guess I really shouldn't be surprised that we have no scores since it is still w/in the date range. We have just never had it take this long before w/my older kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
