June 2025 SAT Score Release Date Revealed
If you sat for the SAT on June 7, 2025, you’re probably counting down to score day. The College Board confirms that scores for the weekend digital SAT will be available on June 20, 2025, starting as early as 6 a.m. ET. You’ll get an email when your results are ready, but most students see them by late afternoon. For those who took the test during a school-day session, scores typically arrive 2-3 weeks later, often through your school counselor.
I still remember the jittery feeling of waiting for test scores, hitting refresh on the College Board site during a family barbecue. That moment when your score pops up can spark joy or a quick pivot to plan a retake. Knowing the exact release date keeps you in control.
How to Access Your Scores
Checking your scores is straightforward:
- College Board Website: Log into your account to view your total score (400-1600), section scores for Reading/Writing and Math (200-800 each), and percentiles.
- BigFuture App: If you provided your phone number on test day, check the app for instant access.
- School Delivery: Some schools get scores first and share them as PDFs or printouts.
A friend of mine once forgot to check their email and almost missed their score release, scrambling to send results to colleges. Don’t sleep on that notification—set a phone alert for June 20 to stay on top of it.
When Do Colleges Get Your Scores?
If you chose colleges for your four free score reports during registration, they’ll receive your scores by July 1, 2025. Additional score reports ($12 each, unless you have a fee waiver) take 1-2 weeks to deliver. Need them faster? Rush reporting ($31) gets scores to schools in 1-2 business days. Double-check each college’s requirements—some want all your test scores, while others take your highest.
Why June Scores Matter
The June SAT is a sweet spot for juniors aiming to lock in strong scores before senior year and for seniors targeting early application deadlines. With scores out by June 20, you’ve got time to decide if you’ll retake the test in August or October. The national average SAT score is around 1050, but competitive schools often expect 1350 or higher. A solid score can boost your shot at scholarships or standout programs.
I once met a student who checked their June scores early, saw a 1400, and sent them to a dream school just in time for a merit award. That quick action changed their college path. Timing is everything.
Tips to Stay on Track
- Log In Early: Scores roll out in waves. If they’re not up by noon, check again by evening.
- Plan for Retakes: If your score doesn’t hit your goal, sign up for the August 23, 2025, SAT by early August to meet fall deadlines.
- Know Your Schools: Some colleges are test-optional, so confirm if your score strengthens your application or if you can skip sending it.
The digital SAT, fully rolled out since 2024, speeds up scoring, but rare delays can happen due to technical glitches or essay scoring (if applicable). If your scores aren’t visible by June 21, reach out to the College Board.
