Getting Subject Test Scores Early - Worth It?

[synorg]

Hey has anyone here paid the 12 bucks to get their subject test scores early? If so, was it worth it? I kinda want to know my score so I can get my apps in even earlier...but I don't want to pay for the score early if ETS tends to post the scores online before 6 weeks passes anyway.

I'm not concerned with sending the score reports next week, but I'd like the programs to begin reading my application sooner rather than at/near the deadline.

Thanks!

I'm impatient, so I'm paying the twelve bucks on Monday to get mine!

Same here. I had a legitimate breakdown following the exam, and it's really just getting to the point where I want to know so I can move on to the more important parts of my application.

I checked mygre today and the scores for the October 15 subject test are already sent. I'm guessing the scores will be released early?

interesting...mine shows a date for the score report as well...i bet they'll wait a few days at least to try to get people to pay 12 dollars though

I just called and the subject test scores from the October test are available by phone.

Yep. Although in my case it took about 10 phone calls before I could actually access them--my confirmation number and social didn't work; I had to use the registration number on my admission ticket (which was buried in a desk drawer). But now I know. I felt like the $12 was worth it, even if only so I can stop refreshing the score page every hour.
