Manhattan LSAT - Actual LSAT Score Release Dates

 

The Law School Admissions Council (the folks who produce and manage the LSAT) generally release LSAT score reports about 3 weeks after the LSAT test date. However, in actuality, LSAT scores historically have been released before the scheduled release date. The scores have been released anywhere from 2 to 13 days before the scheduled LSAT Release Date. Much speculation exists about why LSAT score reports are released when they are, but the only thing for certain is that they will be released early!

Some interesting things to note based on the data below:

• LSAT Scores are actually released on average 4.6 days before the Scheduled Release Date!
• The largest gap between Scheduled and Actual Release dates is on the December LSAT administration.
• If you exclude the December LSAT administration, LSAT Scores are actually released on average of 3.1 days before the Scheduled Release Date.
