For the December SAT, scores are usually released about 13 days after the test date, typically on a Friday, with all scores available by the evening of that day.

Key December SAT dates

  • For the December 6, 2025 SAT, the official score release date is Friday, December 19, 2025.
  • Colleges generally receive those December scores about 1–2 weeks later; for 2025, schedules show colleges receiving December 6 scores around late December or early January (for example, January 2, 2026 in one published schedule).

What time are scores released?

  • Weekend SAT scores are released in staggered batches throughout the scheduled release day so systems are not overloaded.
  • Most students see scores sometime between morning and late afternoon Eastern Time, and all scores are generally available by 8 p.m. ET on the release date.

General rule for future December tests

  • The College Board’s pattern is that Saturday SAT scores post about 2 weeks later on a Friday, so for future December SAT dates, expect your scores roughly 13 days after test day, with possible slight variation.
  • If you took the SAT on a school day instead of a Saturday, scores often take 3–4 weeks to be released, and your school counselor may see them a bit earlier.
