SAT scores typically take about 2 weeks to come out after the test date if you took the SAT on a Saturday, with scores usually released on the second Friday after testing. For SAT School Day tests during the week, scores generally take 3 to 4 weeks to be released, with the school counselor often receiving scores first and possibly sharing them earlier. Scores are available online, staggered throughout the release day starting early morning and typically done by 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Colleges receive score reports within about 10 days after the scores are released online. In summary:
- Weekend SAT test scores: about 2 weeks after test day (usually the second Friday)
- School Day SAT test scores: about 3 to 4 weeks after test day
- Colleges receive scores about 10 days after the online release
This timeline provides enough time to plan for college applications or retests if needed.
