Short answer
College Board publishes two release dates for every weekend SAT: one for students and a later one for educators. Most weekend scores come out 2 to 4 weeks after test day. SAT School Day and PSAT tests given through a state program follow your state's schedule instead.
Two dates for every test
College Board's release table lists a student score release date and an educator score release date for each weekend test. Students see scores first. Educators at schools and districts get them a few days later. If you are waiting on your own scores, the student date is the one that matters.
College Board publishes dates only, not a time of day, so there is no official hour to watch for.

How long scores take
College Board says most scores from weekend tests are released 2 to 4 weeks after test day. Every fall 2026 weekend test in the table above reports to students 13 days after the test, well inside that range. "Most" matters: an individual score can take longer than the published date.
SAT School Day and PSAT
The weekend table does not cover tests given in school through a state program, such as SAT School Day, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10 and PSAT 8/9. For those, College Board says to check with your state for when scores will be available. The fall 2026 in-school testing window runs October 1 to 30, 2026.
Spring 2027
College Board's current table covers fall 2026. Spring 2027 release dates will be added to the 2026-2027 SAT calendar once College Board publishes them.
