<p>Noon! 7 minutes D:</p>
<p>well here and ACT offices noon is an hour and 6 minutes lol </p>
<p>Re: the “you will receive an email…”, I usually get that email 2 weeks after my score is online. </p>
<p>I believe its central time so probably an hour and 6 minutes. :/</p>
<p>It’s always CST not EST so it’s an hour and 5 min.</p>
<p>I was just about to edit and say whoops…central…haha.</p>
<p>Never mind I found it. Thanks. I’ll let you guys know what they say </p>
<p>If the scores actually come out by 12:15 CST today I’ll eat a mouthful of salt.</p>

<p>Poor Bijou’s finger tips must be hurting today. Hopefully she is just cut and pasting.</p>
<p>I guess the consensus is the scores MAY be posted at 12 noon…like right now…but they may come on line CDT instead of EDT? ARGHHHHHHHH! I am in Ohio and may have to wait another hour? I’m a parent and I’m frustrated. You students must be really stressed!</p>
<p>Noon…central time maybe?</p>
<p>Lynn H: Hi, we are reviewing your question and will be right with you.
Lynn H: It is currently being worked on. Watch for your email to come.
You: Email to come saying score has been posted? Is that anticipated for today?
Lynn H: Yes. Emails will be sent out to those that have had scores posted.
You: What is really frustrating is that I did the live chat this morning and was told that all scores had been posted. Why the deception?
Lynn H: No deception on our part. We just found out in the last half hour that the loading had not been made… I apologize for the confusion, we are in the same boat as the student’s.
Lynn H: Hopefully by early afternoon the scores will be there. I won’t know until after it has happeded!
You: Are most scores posted or is it random?
Lynn H: Random scoring with most of them posted on the first day for those that took only the multiple choice. There will be some writing.
Lynn H: Please keep in mind that it has only been 9 days since the test was given!
You: If my child took writing too, does that mean that hers will not be posted today? Or just not writing portion (I know there is a lag)?
Lynn H: You will be notified when the multiple choice is available, but the writing may not be done yet.
You: So hers could be posted today, even though she took writing.
Lynn H: Could be. But not all tests will be.
You: I know it has only been 9 days, but when you are given a date and hear nothing it drives the student crazy. You know?
Lynn H: It could take up to 8 weeks to complete the scoring of all of the tests.
You: Thanks!</p>
<p>I am actually a parent too </p>
<p>My kids always took the writing portion and their scores were posted on the first day (minus the writing score), so I’m holding out hope that that is still the case with this test date!</p>
<p>So the concensus is 1 o’clock est? </p>
<p>Like many of you, I’m anxious to see my son’s scores. All of this parental anxiety reminds me of the top 10 parental tips provided by Middlebury College regarding college admissions. I’ve definitely violated more than one of these, including #8. Here’s the list:</p>
<p>Top 10 Things for Parents to Remember</p>
<p>It is good, of course, that students and parents approach this process jointly, but we all know that at its best, the process itself can prepare students for the independence that they will experience in college. The following list contains some possible symptoms of parental over-involvement.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Remember that this process is not about you. No matter how similar your children may be to you, they need to make their own decisions and observations.</p></li>
<li><p>Support and encouragement are more appropriate than pressure and unsolicited advice. Allow your children to seek you out and restrain yourself from imposing your viewpoint upon them.</p></li>
<li><p>Do not use the words “we” or “our” when referring to your children’s application process. Those little pronouns are surefire indicators that you have become too involved.</p></li>
<li><p>Help them prepare but let them perform. Encourage them to sleep well and put thought into a college visit, but once on campus, step back and let them drive the experience. This is good practice for the next phase of their lives—adulthood.</p></li>
<li><p>Encourage your children to make their own college appointments, phone calls, and e-mails. When a family arrives at an admissions office, it’s important that the student approach the reception desk, not the parents. We notice! Having control over those details gives them a sense of ownership. Don’t be tempted by the excuse that “I’m just saving them time” or “they are too busy”—students will learn to appreciate all the steps it takes to make big things happen if they do them.</p></li>
<li><p>Allow your children to ask the questions. They have their own set of issues that are important to them.</p></li>
<li><p>Prepare your children for disappointment. For many students this is the first time they could face bad news. Remind them there is no perfect school and that admissions decisions do not reflect on their worth as people or your worth as parents.</p></li>
<li><p>Never complete any portion of the college application—yes, even if it is just busy work. That also goes for friends, siblings, counselors, and secretaries. For many colleges, that overstep would be viewed as a violation of the honor policy at the school.</p></li>
<li><p>Do not let stereotypes or outdated information steer your children away from schools in which they would otherwise have an interest. Times have changed and so have colleges.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>And the Number One thing for parents to remember about the college search process is: </p>
<ol>
<li>Never, ever, during a college visit buy that souvenir sweatshirt or T-shirt from the bookstore in your size—it’s a dead giveaway!</li>
</ol>
<p>Laura G: Hi, we are reviewing your question and will be right with you.
Laura G: Scores did not load as anticipated today. We are aware of the issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. The next release should be this Wed first thing in the morning and then again on Friday. Following that, this will be weekly on Wed and Friday, once each morning
Laura G: Multiple choice scores will show up as much as 2 weeks before the writing score.
You: Okay so what about my billing for my test option change
Laura G: I shall look at your account.
Laura G: Please share with me the full name, residence address and date of birth on the web account.</p>
<p>Obviously I won’t share the rest haha but that’s what happened</p>
<p>It sounds like they will be available whenever they resolve the loading issue. I wouldn’t bank on noon.</p>
<p>Darn!! Well I will just keep checking throughout the day … just in case</p>
