The Official February 2016 Waiter's Thread Forum

[ms9]

So I dug around. For some reason no one thinks this Friday. In fact, Killoran was so confident of it he is at Disney this week. Monday would be a hard day to release putting myself in a worker's perspective, unless they had things totally wrapped up. So I will guess Saturday or Tuesday. I lean toward Saturday because this (and June) have the smallest test volume.

A Saturday release? I didn't even think that was possible. I didn't even know a Feb test has ever come more than 3 days early. Would be nice though!!

That's probably why others think later. My optimistic theory is that because they were so utterly late last test they are going to try to get this out quicker. They have done weekend releases before.

I'd be very surprised if it were after Tuesday.

Last test as in December, or the last February administration? And what are the others predicting? I'm trying to get mentally prepared

The most recent test before this one they released only a day before (due to an issue with lost tests). I know absolutely nothing in terms of inside information but I do know some of the psychomentricians at LSAC and they just seem like the people that if they were "late" on one release they would try to be earlier on the next. But that is just pure, utter speculation. This is why I shouldn't even let myself be drawn into this. But Girl Scout Cookies....Mmmmm....

I'm so bored at work that I made my own score release chart (I'm a data visualization engineer, so I've been having fun with this LOL)

Analysis 1: February LSATs

Official release days: 7 Mondays, 1 Tuesday and 3 Wednesdays (11 LSATs)
Average test date to official release: 24.41 days
Average test date to actual release: 20.94 days

Based on February analysis, the earliest would be -3 days, which puts us Monday.

Analysis 2: Tests with Scheduled release of Wednesdays (no thursday has ever existed?)

Official release days: 10 LSATs
Average test date to official release: 25.5 days
Average test date to actual release: 22.5 days

Based on this, the earliest would be -3 days, which puts us back on Monday again

Analysis 3: February LSATs with official release of Wednesday

Official release days: 3 LSATs
Average test date to official release: 25 days
Average test date to actual release: 22.67 days

Based on this, earliest would be -2 days, which is Tuesday.

Analysis 4: All LSATs since 2004

Official release days: 47 LSATs
Average test date to official release: 25.30 days
Average test date to actual release: 21.60 days

Based on this, earliest would be -3 days, which is Monday.


Analysis 5: Based on last 3 releases (June-Feb)

Official release days: 4 LSATs
Average test date to official release: 28.33 days
Average test date to actual release: 24 days

Based on this, earliest would be -4 days, which is Sunday!


HOPE you enjoyed the results of me being bored at work during the slowest week of my life!!!


My bets still on Monday, but I'd gladly accept Saturday/Sunday.

[Li'l Sebastian]

My money is on sometime before March 4th.

Bold prediction. I have tried to push it out of mind because of the clerical error mentioned many pages back, but I talked to LSAC and my score will be reported on schedule. So let the hour counting begin!

My prediction was apparently the only one that COULDN'T be possible. Killoran warned me not to even try. I am such a sucker.

I took a Feb LSAT 6 years ago on 06 FEB 2010 and received notification on Sat 27 FEB 2010. I still have the email. So I have been hoping that I will get that email this Saturday.

Have you guys ever tried discussing the LSAT with non-LSAT takers? It's the most unsatisfying conversation ever cause they don't get what's so exciting about it nor do they care lol.
I just excitedly explained the release date predictions to my mom and she's like ...same face I got when I talked about my Lg strategies and tough LRs I came across. You guys are the only ones who understand me *bumps chest twice*

I feel you.

I currently live with my mom, and she's asked me to move out 3 times since I took the LSAT because I'm quote "being irritating" with the LSAT subject. sigh.

[dhwz175]

On the contrary, my mom was the one who kept reminding me to check whether my score was out for the December write. Trust me when I say that I would much rather my mom be less enthusiastic about the whole thing.

Seriously, though.... How did people survive the wait for scores before TLS existed?

I would be a hyper exception that that because I get to talk about it to about a 50-100 people an adminsitration

I don't understand how anyone who took the LSAT could just NOT think about it. Like they just take the test all willy-nilly then open their email 3 weeks later just casual AF like, "Huh, cool..." *deletes email*...I just think we take it to the extreme because, let's be honest, we're probably all extreme perfectionists & overly ambitious about our law careers

I was on camping trips for the release of my first two takes and I was basically like you how you described. Opened my scores, immediately knew I was retaking. The third I wasn't, was active on the waiter's thread, and shit was way worse. Sure part of it, maybe even most, was that it was my last take, but being on this site definitely makes things way tougher waiting wise.
