Score prediction for myself: 162

If the scores come out Friday, the level of alcohol I drink will certainly be correlated to how good or bad the score is. If they don't come out, the level of alcohol I drink will certainly be correlated to the anxiety I will have from waiting those last few days.

im reading that youre drinking this weekend

I told myself I'd retake if I was anywhere under 173 so I suppose we're pretty similar on that thought. I do have time but man I want nothing more than to not have to study for June or September...

Sorry to hear you're out of retakes, but I'm sure you killed this one! Can't imagine how anxious I would feel in your shoes.

Oddly enough, I am not nearly as anxious as I was the past two times. I already have a solid score on record and have been accepted with money to a number of schools. So my worst case scenario isn't all that bad.

I was anxious in the days immediately following the test, as is well documented on this thread. But after a week or so the fact that I would never have to take the LSAT again dawned on me and I have felt great ever since.

THIS.

I just have to get around to selling those stupid practice materials...

I can't decide whether to sell, donate, or burn them. But I am strongly leaning toward the fire.

I know it is wrong on many levels, but it would give me some closure, and it would be great to watch those damn tools of torture burn.

I have strongly considered this as well.

Same boat, I can't think of any situation in which my reaction will be sobriety.

Also lolling hard at this:

I am guessing either Fri, Sat or Maybe Mon-Tues.

If not, then wed as it is originally scheduled.

I'm inclined to agree.

I also predict the sun will rise, and set, in that order, on the score release date.

Number of refreshes of my iPhone email in the last 30 hours has to be north of 150 times. I'm such a first timer.

Score prediction for myself: 162

What was your PT average? Mine was 171.x. At first, I thought I bombed the test, but then, after thinking about it, and considering the hopefully generous curve, I was more optimistic. But now, I'm back to self-doubt. I think I under-performed my PT average. Score prediction: 168.

I was really hoping for today, but I guess it's not gonna happen. I vote tomorrow. Then Saturday, then Sunday, etc.

ETA: not for any rational reason, just optimism

Optimism is TOTALLY rational; I'm there.

I thought Saturday happened once before

[MidwestLifer]

We should get a new poll... Predicted score? Best guess as to release date? Number of times you've puked from anxiety?

[Learn_Live_Hope]

I thought Saturday happened once before

I thought Saturday happened once before

I believe this was due to carryover from Friday night release- not actual saturday. I could be wrong.

[HanShotFirst]

Any reason everyone's more optimistic about Friday than before? Do you guys know something I don't?

Also, has LSAC ever released scores on a weekend?

[sanibella]

Looking at the past few years' worth of February score release dates, I would bet on Monday.

However, if they are weather-weary, they might release it tomorrow in anticipation of the Sunday/Monday potential snowstorm.

There is a snowstorm?

They might not at all. But if their office might potentially be closed on Monday, they might just want to get it done and out of the way Friday.

I appreciate the slightly condescending touch the ellipsis added.

Yes, they do.

Any reason everyone's more optimistic about Friday than before? Do you guys know something I don't?

Also, has LSAC ever released scores on a weekend?

Objectively I recognize that Monday and even Wednesday are probably more likely than tomorrow. But in the excitement of it actually being close, I'm hoping for tomorrow and getting too optimistic about it.

In June 2005, June 2007, February 2010, and October 2010 scores came out on Saturdays, according to this page.

ETA: This page also claims that Sunday releases are "not uncommon" ? ??
