2025-2026 ACT/SAT Release Dates

Here's a quick look at past and upcoming test and release dates, so you know when it's time to import those into Scoir.

Bulk Uploading Test Scores (and More!)

Every year as students go through application season, you’ll want to get in a rhythm of adding test scores, GPAs, and outcomes to ensure better reporting and that Scattergrams stay relevant.

Add test scores and GPAs (even if your students apply Test Optional!)

Counselors can bulk upload ACT/SAT scores and GPAs into Scoir, including test scores right from College Board. You can also give permission for students to self-report their own test scores and GPAs if you’d like. 

While students can indicate in Scoir if they applied Test Optional, we still encourage you to add their test scores since most students continue to take these tests, even if they choose to apply Test Optional. The data is still relevant to Scattergrams.

Add application outcomes

Once you have all your test scores and GPAs imported, your next step is to ensure the application outcomes are added. These fall into the categories of Accepted, Not accepted, Waitlisted, or Deferred on the Scattergram (how to add college application outcomes). 

Here's a helpful checklist that you can use each year as a reminder!
