Good luck to everyone taking the December 2013 LSAT!
The December 2013 LSAT scores / results are scheduled to be released via email by Monday, January 6, 2014, so you'll have to wait for your LSAT score.
However, the scores usually come out a bit earlier than scheduled.
Let's look at the trend over the past several years (click to enlarge):
I've never heard of them coming back on the scheduled release date itself. As you can see, LSAC is taking longer and longer to release December LSAT scores. I believe that Thursday, January 2, and Friday, January 3, are the most likely score release dates based on the above.
"But at what time specifically do scores come on score release days? I need to know when to constantly refresh my email / LSAC account!"
In batches over the course of several hours. Likely starting late in the day (Eastern Time).
No one knows how the batches are organized, if at all.
The batches do not seem to be organized in any of these ways:
alphabetical/regional/high-to-low scores/low-to-high scores/test center #, etc.
Wish everyone all the best!

If many test centers were postponed due to weather cancellations, does that affect the score release date?
ReplyDeleteLongest test ever. My ride waited from 730 to the end. Thanks Roger. Forty dollars well spent.
ReplyDeleteDo sabbath-observer tests score go by the same dates as regular tests?
ReplyDeleteI'm having nightmares about my score release, you guys. Nightmares!
ReplyDeletesame here,
ReplyDeleteDo people think it'll come out thursday?
I got my score! 170 baby!
ReplyDeleteseriously?
Deleteyeah!
DeleteLSAC wasn't even open today, troll.
DeleteHe/she is obviously a troll -- but you have to give it to him/her for introducing a bit of levity here. :p -- I think they'll be released either today (Thursday) or on Friday. Good luck, all!
Deletedo you think the scores will be released today? form NYC
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling they won't be released until tomorrow
ReplyDeleteIf I had to guess, it will be tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIf it gets posted today what time do you think it will get posted? :p
ReplyDeletebetween 230 and 530 EST
ReplyDeletethey release them in batches
In October I think they were released starting around 1..
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of waiting for these scores. I had a dream last night they were released, lets just say I was not happy in my dream. Almost had a heart attack when I woke up frantically checking my email.
ReplyDeleteblughh!! freaking out over score release date :( my sentiments have been similar to those who mentioned nightmares lol
ReplyDelete11:37am nothing yet. When someone sees the green refresh looking arrows run gray POST IT!!
ReplyDeleteThe culmination of a month's worth of anxiety...gahhh hurry up LSAC!
ReplyDeleteat least they should tell use they will post it that day or something!!
ReplyDeletecan someone give me advice on the personal statement length? as i'm checking the personal statement section of these school apps, i'm not seeing a page limit?? do i need to go to the individual websites for the limits? it's not showing up through lsac
ReplyDelete1 page double space :)
Delete1 page single space, 2 pages double spaced (my admissions counselor was very specific)
Deletereally? I was told two pages double spaced, one page single
Deleteif you go to sample personal statement for uchicago there are all 1 page single
DeleteGray!

ReplyDeleteMine are still green - from Ontario

ReplyDeleteI`ll be flying today at the time that scores typically come out... What are we thinking, generally--- will they be posted today or tomorrow???
ReplyDeleteStill green--from Omaha. I got my score at 1:47pm central time for the October 2013 test.
ReplyDeletein october, the email date changed before icons turned grey. the date still hasnt changed on my page so im thinking tomorrow is our best bet
DeleteI think you're probably right. This waiting game really isn't fun. I'm ready to get my applications submitted!
Deleteright there with you--- and then a whole 'nother waiting game will be started! :)
DeleteSo true! I'm not sure which is worse!
DeleteGreen in Nova Scotia, Canada.
ReplyDeleteGreen still Omaha

GREY IN GA!!
These were the first ones from OCT who said it was gray.. so donno
if not grey by 3pm eastern then not today
Deleteoh thanks for the info..hw dya know?
Deletefrom past posts look at the other post for days that the scores didn't come out. if no one sees score by 3 it usually doesn't show that day.
DeleteNice the way they make us sweat it out like this. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see I'm not the only one FREAKING OUT over here. :D
ReplyDeleteHaha its 4am in korea im probably gonna stay up all night..
ReplyDeleteim in korea tooo....and im up as well
DeleteI really just want my score...
ReplyDeletegreen still in Ontario
ReplyDeletestill green in nyc
ReplyDeleteIS THERE A SPECIFIC TIME THEY RELEASE SCORES??
ReplyDeletegray in mars
ReplyDeleteThis is how you troll... not saying a legitimate state and freaking us out.
Deletegreen, Annapolis, MD, killing me harshly.
ReplyDeleteGreen in salisbury md
ReplyDeleteGreen in SoCal...I can't get anything done today since I'm constantly checking, lol
ReplyDeleteI hear you, I am starting to think it is going to be tomorrow. This is crap, considering a lot of the December LSATs before this have had release dates 10 days before LSAC's quoted date of score release. Not that any of it will matter because I probably bombed it..
DeleteYeah, but remember, many people were unable to take it due to whether, and LSAC had to make alternative arrangements, whatever those were, so, wouldn't be surprised if the scores were released even after January 6th, but sooner would be better.
Deletegot an email from LSAC sayin it would be jan 6th after 10 am eastern time....but maybe that is just the official time!
DeleteStill green here.
ReplyDeleteGreen in MA. this sucks!
ReplyDeleteMy undies are grey. Haven't bleached them in months.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. At least one of the make up tests was on Dec 21 and they were closed from Dec 24 - Jan 1.... Hopefully they'll be released soon though! This anxiety does NOT need to last through the weekend.
ReplyDeleteOnly problem I see is that in the past when there was some intervening whether issue or whatever, the scores were released a day after the scheduled date. And if people were making tests up as late as Dec. 21, days before Christmas, who knows. Don't know if this is unprecedented, but I have to think it will affect the score release date. Hopefully not.
Deletein a different forum someone said... in 21011, DEC LSAT scores were sent out at 7pm eastern time... so ... the wait is not over i guess
ReplyDeleteI think basic trends tell us it should be today or tomorrow. The LSAT does what it wants. They will release them at 7 tonight or 10:00 next Friday if they damn well please. I think one section of tests is not enough to delay the group, but who knows?
ReplyDeleteGreen in Oregon. May the force be with us all.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. May the force give us the 180's we deserve.
DeleteJust checked, I got my October score at 2:37pm (east coast) BUT my friend still had not gotten hers until about 4pm!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is snowing where LSAC is located... hopefully they don't take off work tomorrow :/
ReplyDeletegot an email from LSAC sayin it would be jan 6th after 10 am eastern time....but maybe that is just the official time!
ReplyDeletehow did you get an email from them?
Deletei mailed them a couple of days back asking about a couple of qs... and they got back to me earlier today....
DeleteWhoa!! First time they never came back early.
ReplyDeleteLSAC is 30 min from my house. No snow here so far... hopefully TODAY
ReplyDeleteSomeone's got to report grey. Come on!
ReplyDeleteI'm changing the screen tones on my monitor so the icons look grey just to give myself some level of comfort...
ReplyDeleteDude. Great idea. Maybe I can trick myself into some peace.
DeleteIndeed, if that doesn't work, get some $1 sunglasses and spray paint them grey. You wouldn't see anything, but at least you would see grey.
DeleteDo they even send the out before noon (EASTERN)?
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt the scores are coming today. Most likely tomorrow, but might even be late due to people having delayed tests which seems unusual. Must admit it has been fun getting the excitement and anticipation going.
ReplyDeleteIts been fun in a "slumdog millionaire have your eye scooped out with a hot spoon," way.
DeleteHmm... Waiting an extra day or so for your LSAT score vs. being maimed and enslaved... Not quite.
DeleteThey will not be posted today for a number of reasons: 1) as far as I can tell, they have never posted on the day after coming back from a vacation for December; 2) they will need to make sure the scores from December 21st are all done; 3) the impending snow may cause problems; 4) in the forums I've seen, grey has turned on at some point in some place before 3:00 pm at the latest even though they will be sent out hours later. Unfortunately, I think the score will be posted on Monday or perhaps Tuesday depending on the storm.
ReplyDeleteUm... I'm pretty sure even your first reason is incorrect. According to this blog post within the image at the top, scores were released on January 2, 2013 (the day after the New Years holiday).
DeleteYep, time to pack up the wagon n' head home. Ain't gettin' no gold here today boys...
ReplyDeleteThere's no way they'll be late in releasing the scores. That's Bush League. It's not gonna happen. I don't care how big the storm is.

DeleteYou will get them Californians. I got my score e-mailed to me at 1:44 pm

ReplyDeleteGray in Cali for awhile as well.
ReplyDeleteScores are up!
ReplyDeleteStill waiting in South Carolina
ReplyDeletestill waitin in Korea..and the snowstorm news flash is scarin me into thinking the above poster might be right...aah hope not!
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. I'm quite sure the email release is entirely computerized, so provided there's not a power outage, I'm sure the scores will be released soon.
DeleteIt is a bit weird since the October score came within less than an hour after the thing turned grey but who knows. Batman is going to be played by Ben Affleck and I'm sure nobody saw that one coming either.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Deletelol! well i think Ben Affleck is hot... so i guess i like unexpected things...
DeleteGOT MY SCORE!!! FL
ReplyDeleteah bet ur right.... so i guess i can be anxious for a couple more hours...
ReplyDeleteyeah, scores are out. f*** i knew i miscoded 1 rule from the sequencing game, and i was wondering how much it would cost me. 165 :( otherwise, would have been a 170. so unhappy, bc now must sit the feb x__x
ReplyDeleteoh poor you for scoring in the 160s....what a bummer
Deletetroll.
Deleteit's a bummer for anyone trying to go T14
ReplyDeletewho else out there is sitting the feb?
ReplyDeleteAnyone still waiting? still no score...
ReplyDeleteStill waiting in Oregon. My test was delayed 1 week due to snow but my email date is today.

ReplyDeleteGot my score about a half hour ago (western NY)
ReplyDeleteGot my score! Denver, CO
ReplyDeleteNo score... Email about hold on my account. Better be because I did so well they suspect I cheated!! But really though, wasted 3 hours of my life refreshing LSAC act
ReplyDeleteGot a 161. MEH
ReplyDeleteReally? That is a great score. Hold your head high.
Deletewhat were you averaging on practice lsats? i got a 155 and was averaging 170
DeleteI was averaging around a 164.
DeleteDoes anyone from Ontario know the answer to this: I just got my Dec score and want to re-write. I already registered just in case. Does OLSAS send my score out even though they know i will be re-writing. And if they do, is it possible to get accepted or do the schools wait for the next score?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Law schools see all your LSAT results, and they know you have signed up for the next exam. So, they will wait for your next exam's result before evaluating your application.
DeleteI was a wreck going into the exam, I had been scoring avg of 163, highest I ever got was a 169 in practice. The week before the exam I was just done with it, the night before i couldn't sleep. Ironic in that I thought I had done terrible for the Logic Games and only missed two. What did me in was the Reading Comprehension, I knew that last five questions were a disaster - it was because I just got lost in the reading and then snapped out of it when they said final five minutes. In any event, a 161, which I was hoping was just a few points more. Now we go from here.
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteI am an Ontario resident who has recently completed an English graduate degree, and am having a very hard time with the LSAT. To be competitive, I need to do very well on this test; I went to a military university for my BA, so my grades are not as high as those of other applicants. I have written the LSAT 3 times now- the first two times I got a 148, and the most recent I got a 145. Admittedly, I did not study at all going into the first two LSATs, as I was still in grad school trying to tackle papers and my TA position. The third, time, however, which was Dec 2013, I did practice for the LSAT. I read the powerscore bibles on logic games and logical reasoning (I do not have the reading comprehension one, and used a small Kaplan book summary for this section). I completed my master's degree in sept, and procrastinated studying. I did, however, study a lot for one month prior to the Dec exam, putting in 12 hour study days, doing both sections and full tests. I also timed individual questions to see where my problems were (for logical reasoning), and saw that the only one taking me over 1.45 mins was generally the parallel reasoning and sometimes the principle questions, so I decided I would skip and go back to those for the test. I cannot break my 148 and would really like to know what you would suggest? Should I do your 1month daily schedule or would you say I am past that, given how much exposure I have had to the test? I have gone through about 30 tests so far. Please Help!
Me again- I should have mentioned, I plan to take the test again this Feb. I don't want to give up on my dream. I know I would be successful once in law school, I just need to figure this test out!
DeleteIf I were you, I wouldn't take the test again in Feb. You have basically a month to study and to improve your score, and I hate to break it to you, but one month is not enough time if you want to increase your score SIGNIFICANTLY. Sign up for a test prep program or figure out how to attack the questions with new strategies. Take more practice exams and go back to to review your incorrect answers and really…and I mean…REALLY analyze why you answered the questions incorrectly, and make sure not to repeat the same mistakes. Once you have done all this, take the exam again in June.
