Sign in to your account with the College Board, the agency that administers the SAT exam. If you registered online for the test or took a practice test online, you have an account. The scores are available online 19 days after you take the test. So if the test date is Oct. 1, your scores will be available Oct. 20, according to the College Board.
Call the College Board 19 days after you took the test. The telephone number you call is toll-free, but you will be charged to hear your scores. As of July 2011, that fee was $15. When you call, you will need to have a credit card available and must supply your test registration number and date of birth.
Check off the box when you register that you want to receive your scores by mail. If you did so, you will receive a score report in the mail. If you registered by mail and not online, you also will receive your scores in the mail. You will receive the report about five weeks after the test.
Request your SAT scores from the College Board archives if you took the test more than one year ago. You must complete a form on the College Board website to request a score report be mailed to you and to any recipients, such as a college, that you identify. You will receive the report about five weeks after you request it. As of July 2011, the College Board charged $24 to search the archives and $10 per report.
