Rush order

Rush reporting sends your score reports by first-class mail or electronically, depending on how each institution receives scores, normally within two business days after your score reporting order has been completed. Colleges may take additional time to retrieve or process your scores once they are received. Additional score report fees (as described above) still apply on rush orders.

 $31
Scores by phone

Scores by phone are released according to the same schedule as online scores. This service does not send scores to colleges any earlier.

To get your score by phone, call Customer Service. You will need your test registration number (printed on your Admission Ticket), your birth date, a credit card number, and the card's expiration date.

 $15

Archived (older) scores order

Multiple-choice score verification

When hand scoring of a multiple-choice score is requested, your entire answer sheet will be manually reviewed — you cannot request verification of scores for a single section on the SAT or just one of several SAT Subject Tests taken on the same date.

For SAT only: If you order hand score verification, you will no longer see the full online score report, and you will not have access to the Student Answer Service or Question-and-Answer Service for your hand scored answer sheet.

 $55
Fee reduction available
Essay score verification

This verification determines whether there was an error made in the scanning or processing of the essay scores assigned by essay readers. If an error is found, your adjusted score is automatically reported and your fee is refunded.

 $55
Fee reduction available

*These are refundable only if your order has not yet been fulfilled or if you missed your test date (for example, if you canceled your test, were absent, or had to take a makeup test).
