When will SAT scores be out in June 2025? What time to expect college test results; all you need to know

In the United States, the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) holds major importance for students on the road to college. The SAT, which attracts millions of students across the US, measures reading, writing, and math skills.

If a student seeking admission secures a high score, then he or she can get access to scholarship opportunities. Many colleges and organizations offer scholarships based on strong SAT scores.

When will SAT scores come out in 2025?

The test is administered by the College Board. The organization has announced that scores will be released in phases depending on whether testing was done on a weekend or in school. Spring 2025 score release dates for SAT weekend: Friday, June 20, for tests taken on June 7.

The score of the students will be released based on when the test was taken and when the test was submitted, not on the scores, grade, or location, according to the Austin American Statesman. The score is already available in case the candidate took the exam before June 7 at school or independently.

What time do scores come out?

Scores are typically available around 6 PM (local time) on the designated release day for SAT in-school testing.

How to check SAT scores

The College Board provides three ways to check the SAT score:

School counselor: The school counselor of the candidate who appeared for the test will receive a PDF version of the score, which can be shared.

BigFuture School mobile app: If the candidate has included his or her phone number on test day, the test score will be available on the app.

College Board student account: If the student is a College Board student account holder, the scores will be available online.

How to send SAT scores to colleges or universities

When the appearing student registered for the SAT or took the test at school, he or she may have selected colleges or scholarship programs to receive scores.

In case the applicant did not choose recipients on the day of the test or wants to add more, he or she can send scores to additional institutions once they are available, according to the College Board website.

Follow these steps to send SAT scores:

Sign in to the College Board account: Go to the Send SAT Scores page. If a prompt about fee waivers appears, it can be ignored unless it applies to the applicant.

Select institutions to send scores to: The student can search for colleges or universities by name or code.

Add institutions to the score recipient list: Click on one or more institutions to add them, then click Continue.

Choose which scores to send: For each recipient, the applicant can choose to send all scores or just a specific set. If the SAT has been taken multiple times, the best score can be sent.

There may be some institutions that may require all scores. This depends on the school’s score submission policy.

Review and finalize your order: Double-check the selections and then proceed to checkout.

In addition to the test scores, the recipient will also receive demographic information.
