What time do LSAT scores come out?

LSAC begins releasing scores at approximately 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on release day. Not everyone’s score appears at the same moment: some test takers see theirs at 9:00 sharp and others 10 to 15 minutes later. You get an email saying the score is available, but the score itself appears only in your LSAC account, so check the account directly.

LSAC holds scores until an approved LSAT Writing sample is on file, and administrative holds delay release too. Each administration page above covers the details for that sitting, and switches to post-release guidance the morning scores go out.

Once your score arrives: see what every LSAT score means (120–180), what counts as a good score, or the retake rules.
