<p>I took the ACT today with Writing (Dec 9th). I was planning on taking it again in February but I was wondering if I would receive my scores in the mail from this testing date before I had to register for the Feb. date (on January 5th).</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You can view it online before xmas</p>
<p>Yeah, I knew that, but I was wondering if I may receive the scores in the mail without having the pay the $8 early viewing fee.</p>
<p>Can you view your scores online if you sent in your registration by mail?</p>
<p>^yes, also scores come online for free before you get it in the mail usually</p>
<p>Is there an exact date when this happens?</p>
<p>No, you can view scores online for $8 by the 19-21 but free scores sometimes take a month or more but sometimes just three and a half weeks.</p>
<p>no, but in my opinion, paying the $8 to see them early is completely worth it.</p>
<p>Stupid ACT... That early viewing thing is only for US students... The ACT really screws over international test takers... I remember I took it the first week of April, and I got my scores by like mid June.</p>
<p>Just one last question, about when can I expect to receive my scores in the mail with Writing?</p>
<p>4-7 weeks, i think.</p>
<p>do they tell you scores are online.. or do you have to pay $8 and then find out? If so, and your scores aren't online, do you get a refund?</p>
<p>theyll tell you if your scores are agvailable or not right before you put in your credit card details</p>
<p>that's good. ACT needs to pick up the slack though - college board releases scores 3 weeks after for free inlcuding essay score and you get your score report in the mail within 4 weeks of the test, well for me. ACT - 4 to 7 weeks before you can see your essay... tha't ridiculous</p>

<p>The majority of ACT scores with writing hit the web and the mail three weeks after the test date (without writing it's ten days). The "to 7 weeks" part is for those who have issues that have to be resolved, like copying the match ID wrong from your admission slip, putting the wrong test code, or owing money. Of course, international testers are on a different schedule entirely, which has to account for international shipping of test materials back to ACT and then international mail, unfortunately. </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure SAT scores with writing don't come any faster, on average, than ACT writing, since they're scored by the exact same company.</p>
