The September 2025 ACT scores are expected to come out between September 16 and October 31, 2025. This means test-takers can usually access their scores online about 2 to 4 weeks after the September test date, but the window for score release can be as wide as about 1.5 months from the test date.
If the test date is September 6, 2025, scores could start appearing as early as September 16, 2025, with all scores released by October 31, 2025.
The ACT typically releases multiple-choice scores first, then releases writing scores about two weeks later.
In summary:
- September 2025 ACT test date: Early September (commonly first or second weekend)
- Score release window: September 16 to October 31, 2025
- Multiple-choice scores usually first
- Writing scores released about two weeks after multiple-choice
This timeline allows students to plan for college applications and retakes if needed.
