<p>How long do ACT and SAT scores take to get sent to the college? My app is due Nov 1st and I just took my SAT yesterday.</p>
<p>The two organizations say to allow up to four weeks. Now before you panic:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>It usually takes less time than that because scores are electronically transfered.</p></li>
<li><p>A Nov 1 deadline indicates you are applying EA or ED somewhere. Every college with a Nov 1 application deadline accepts scores through the Oct test date even though the scores arrive after Nov 1; many even accept Nov test date scores at least for any required SAT IIs.</p></li>
<li><p>If you already have required scores, you can send them now even before you send the application. If it is the Oct test, and you ordered it sent (free) to the applicable colleges as part of your application for the test, you have nothing to worry about. Otherwise, you should order it sent as soon as scores are announced.</p></li>
