Update: For the first time ever (that I know of, anyway), LSAC released scores after the scheduled release date for a test administration. It's important to note that this was in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy (LSAC's office was closed).
Good luck to everyone taking the October 2012 LSAT!
The October 2012 LSAT scores / results are scheduled to be released via email by Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 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):
Getting your score on Halloween just sounds kind of creepy, and I've never heard of them coming back on the scheduled release date itself. I'm going for Monday, October 29th as the most likely score release date 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!
