December 2011 LSAT Score Release Dates

LSAT Blog  December 2011 LSAT Score Release Dates
UPDATE:
LSAC began releasing December 2011 LSAT scores on Wednesday, January 4th, beginning around 5:30PM Eastern. Scores are released in batches, and it may take several hours for everyone to receive their scores.

Good luck!

The December 2011 LSAT scores / results are scheduled to be released via email by Friday, January 6, 2012.

However, the scores consistently come out more than a few days before the scheduled score release date.

Let's look at the trend over the past several years (click to enlarge):













As you can see, there's a general trend - LSAC is taking longer and longer to come back with the results. Also, the difference between the scheduled score release dates and actual score release dates is decreasing over time.

Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to predict a specific date, or even a few dates, that would be the most likely actual score release date for the December 2011 LSAT.

My best guess is that December 2011 LSAT scores will be released sometime close to Saturday, December 31st - within a few days before or after.

"But at what time specifically? 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!
