UPDATE: LSAC began releasing February 2012 LSAT scores on Tuesday, March 6th. Scores are released in batches, and it may take several hours for everyone to receive their scores.

Good luck!

The February 2012 LSAT scores / results are scheduled to be released via email by March 7, 2012. However, LSAC generally releases LSAT scores a bit earlier than that.
Let's look at the trend over the past several years (click to enlarge):

The December 2011 LSAT score release was a bit unpredictable, but the June 2011 LSAT score release and October 2011 LSAT score release are helpful in allowing me to make an educated guess about when February LSAT scores will come out.


Over the years, February, June, and October scores were traditionally scheduled to be released no later than 23 days after the exam date (a Monday). However, LSAC started giving themselves a little more time in the June 2011 - February 2012 test cycle, scheduling the score release date to be 25 days after the test date for the June 2011, October 2011 and February 2012 LSATs (a Wednesday).


For both the June and October 2011 LSATs, LSAC scheduled the results to be released no later than 25 days after the test date, but then released them 23 days later (2 days earlier than scheduled. For this reason...


My best guess is that February 2012 LSAT scores will be released on Monday, March 5, 2012.


"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!
