<p>Somehwere it said 10 days after the test but on the website I belive it said NOvember 14th for the october 28th test date.</p>
<p>maybe that's the regular release date?</p>
<p>Nov 7th=early scores for *$8.00</p>
<p>Yeah, I saw Nov. 14th too but I'm hoping the people on here are correct!</p>
<p>Looks like it's been delayed to the 14th. That sucks, it's usually ten days after.</p>
<p>Yea, if that's the case then there's no point in paying $8 because chances are you're going to get them in the mail soon anyways.</p>
<p>Yeah, they were delayed.</p>
<p>Prob. because a lot of seniors took it.</p>
<p>yeah. I wanted them before my college visits on the 10 and 11th... guess that won't be happening.
I know they say 4-7 weeks for scores in the mail, but how long does it usually seem to take?</p>
<p>Meh that's annoying...mine were delayed like a week and a half last time too. I sat there checking and rechecking my bubbling ability of my name and stuff this time.</p>
<p>Ohh, yeah... the posted date is later in October because of equating. They might not actually use all the extra time, though, so I'd start looking next Tuesday.</p>
<p>Just to make sure, if they don't have your score they don't charge your credit card right.</p>
<p>Nope, they let you know before you enter your CC number whether or not your scores are available.</p>
<p>To Mrs. Ferguson- What do you mean about the equating in October. I checked the ACT website and it does look like October is the only testing period that takes more than 10 days. What do they do differently in October?</p>
<p>At certain test centers, in October, they introduce new test forms. The extra time is for creating the conversion tables for those test forms.</p>
<p>Another question for Mrs. Ferguson (I'm assuming that you are associated with the ACT): I think it's unrealistic to expect anxious high school students to wait upto 7 weeks to receive their scores by mail. Why does ACT charge students $8 for "early viewing" on the Internet, when it doesn't appear to involve any human interaction? Does it really cost ACT $8 each time a student visits the ACT website?</p>
<p>However, if the $8 is an actual cost recovery, I'd like to suggest that ACT have a clear timetable on the website and brochures that spells out the following:</p>
<p>1 "Early viewing" dates (approximate) for multiple choice , when the $8 charge applies.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Early viewing dates (approximate) for essay/writing section, with the $8 charge.</p></li>
<li><p>"Free viewing" starts on date and continues till?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>While I think the ACT is a superior test to the SAT in assessing student ability, the concept of charging students $8 to view their scores when "scores are added to ACT's computer files" seems a little outdated to me.</p>
<p>I completely agree. if the scores are online anyway, it can't cost them more for early viewing. we're already paying enough for the test.</p>
<p>I agree, too. They know how anxious kids get about these things, and take advantage of it by charging money to see them early.</p>
<p>Havn't you learned yet that it's all about the benjamins(money) :P</p>
<p>I really think that the powers at ACT need to assess this unreasonable charge for the so-called "early viewing", if for no other reason that it comes across as a blatant attempt to squeeze $ from a captive audience. Incidentally, I'm sure everyone knows that the SAT doesn't charge for viewing scores.</p>
<p>The website says "You can try to view your scores once they have been added to our computer files". This seems like such a 1970s statement, when computers were in their infancy! Are there paper files that these scores are also added to? And "early viewing" AFTER 2 weeks? C'mon ACT, I'd understand a $8 charge if someone at ACT had to manually look up your score the day after it was scantroned.</p>
<p>I hope they come tomorrow like Mrs. F says could be possible. =/</p>
