SAT scores typically come out about 2 weeks (around 13 to 14 days) after the test date for Saturday test administrations. If the SAT is taken on a weekend (Saturday), scores are generally released approximately 10 business days later, often on a Friday following the test. For SAT School Day testing (during the school week), scores usually come out a bit later, around 2 to 3 weeks after the test date. Scores are released starting as early as 5-6 a.m. Eastern Time, with most students seeing their scores by 8 p.m. on the release day. Schools receive the scores shortly after students, with counselors often getting scores first if the test was taken on a school day. Colleges typically receive score reports within 10 days after students get their scores. In summary:
- Weekend SAT tests: Scores out about 2 weeks after test day.
- School Day SAT tests: Scores out about 2-3 weeks after test day.
- Scores released starting early morning, mostly by evening on release day.
- Colleges get scores within 10 days of student release.
This timing can slightly vary depending on the test date and whether the test was taken on a weekend or a school day.
