What to Expect on the LSAT Score Release Day?

• Your scores will only be released if you have an approved LSAT Writing sample on file. If you are a first-time test taker, you must complete the LSAT Writing before your score can be released.

• Your scores will be released to the schools you have applied to at the same time they are released to you unless you have purchased the LSAT Score Preview option.

• If you have purchased Score Preview, you will receive your scores at the same time as other test takers, but you will have six days to decide whether or not to keep them. If you do not take any action, your scores will be added to your LSAC file and released to schools at the end of the six days.

How Can I See My LSAT Score?

There are two main ways to see your LSAT score, depending on when you took the test and whether you used the Score Preview option:

Through your LSAC account

• This is the primary method for viewing your LSAT score. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to create an account on the Law School Admission Council’s (LSAC) website.
• Once you’re logged in, go to the “LSAT Status” page. Your score will be displayed here if it has been released.
• You can also download a PDF copy of your score report from this page.

Through Score Preview

• If you purchased the Score Preview option when you registered for the LSAT, you can see your score unofficially before it is released to law schools.
• To do this, log in to your LSAC account and go to the “LSAT Score Preview” page.
• You will have the option to either keep your score or cancel it. If you keep your score, it will be released to law schools as normal. If you cancel it, it will not be released to anyone.

From the Desk of Yocket

The LSAT score release date is typically about three weeks after the test date. This can be a stressful time for test takers as they wait to find out how they did. Some people believe that the wait is too long, while others believe that it is a necessary amount of time to allow for accurate scoring.

There are a few factors that contribute to the wait time for LSAT scores. First, the LSAT is a complex test that is scored by hand. This means that each test taker’s answer sheet must be reviewed by multiple graders to ensure accuracy. Second, the LSAC wants to make sure that all scores are released at the same time so that no one has an unfair advantage.

There are a few things that test takers can do to make the wait for their scores a little less stressful. First, try to focus on other things and avoid obsessing over the test. Second, remind yourself that your LSAT score is just one factor in your law school application. Third, consider using the LSAC Score Preview service, which allows you to see your score unofficially before it is released to law schools.
