Confirmed spring 2027 score dates
College Board has also published the following student score releases. June's 16-day wait is longer than the 13-day gaps in March and May, so do not calculate every release by adding two weeks.
| SAT® test date | Student score release | Calendar days after test |
|---|---|---|
| March 6, 2027 | Friday, March 19, 2027 | 13 |
| May 1, 2027 | Friday, May 14, 2027 | 13 |
| June 5, 2027 | Monday, June 21, 2027 | 16 |
What the release date does—and does not—tell you
The student date is when results are scheduled to become available to you. College Board also lists dates for the K-12 educator portal; those dates are not interchangeable. Neither column promises when a college will finish processing a score report.
If you need a score for an application, check that college's last accepted testing date and reporting rules. If you are using the result to decide on a retake, compare the release day with the next registration deadline before waiting.
Use the next SAT® score release guide for the upcoming release and account-checking steps. The live countdown counts to the beginning of the published date in your device's time zone; it does not predict an exact release hour.
If you tested during the school day
Use College Board's in-school score table and your school's instructions. Those releases depend on the submission window, and students in state testing programs should confirm the applicable schedule with their school. A weekend score date in the same month is not a reliable substitute.
SAT® score release questions
What time do SAT® scores come out?
The official score schedule publishes dates, but does not promise one universal release hour. Check your own College Board account on the listed day.
How long do SAT® scores take?
College Board says most weekend scores are released two to four weeks after testing. The five fall 2026 releases are scheduled 13 calendar days after test day; the June 2027 release is 16 days after its test.
Have spring 2027 SAT® score dates been announced?
Yes. College Board lists March 19 for the March 6 test, May 14 for the May 1 test, and June 21 for the June 5 test in 2027.
Are SAT® School Day score dates the same?
No. In-school releases follow a separate schedule based on answer submission dates. State testing programs may have their own release arrangements.
