How LSAT scores are released
- Each administration has one official score release date, published by LSAC in advance.
- LSAC releases scores to test takers at 9:00 a.m. ET on the release date, and sends an email when your score is available.
- Your score is released only if you have an approved LSAT Argumentative Writing sample on file and no holds on your account.
- Score Preview, where purchased, lets you see your score after release and decide whether to keep or cancel it. It does not make scores arrive earlier.
Common questions
What time are LSAT scores released?
LSAC releases scores at 9:00 a.m. ET on the score release date for your administration.
Why is my LSAT score not showing?
LSAC releases a score only when you have an approved LSAT Argumentative Writing sample on file and no holds on your account. Check both in your LSAC account.
Does Score Preview give me my score earlier?
No. Score Preview lets you review your score after it is released and choose to keep or cancel it. It does not change the release date.
