SAT Scores Go Twenty-First Century, Online

In fact, you don't even have to wait for an email. You can simply check your SAT scores via the official College Board website. For example, the site now says that October scores are currently available.

There are some caveats to that, however. Not all SAT scores will be online yet. SAT scores are released on collegeboard.com approximately three weeks after a student takes the SAT. Although most scores are available on the first score release day, a small percentage might not be.

Why wouldn't your SAT score be online? Reasons given by the College Board include late receipt of answer sheets, missing information on answer sheets, information that is inconsistent with your registration information, or other uncommon conditions that flag a test for more attention. Also, if you took a make-up test later than the actual test day, your scores will be released later.

In the case that your SAT score is not yet available, the College Board site has a simple answer: keep checking. They indicate that you should check back one week later.
