June 2016 - Waiter's (+170 or bust) GRAY DAY HAS AWOKEN FROM ITS SLUMBER Forum

[BirdLawExpert]

oh was there a grAy vs grEy debate yet? that might be what's holding up scores...

America/England

Or, alternatively amErica/englAnd

FTR, there's no real difference. Both are used in both places, but generally the A/E rule holds.

Because it's literally true

[benwyatt]

Do scores go up for everyone at the same time online? #EastCoast

Waves, generally from highest to lowest with a few exceptions.

This is hilarious.

My wife is sitting for the GRE in two weeks. I asked her when she got her score back, and she replied "immediately." Wow.
Asked her how often they administer the test, she said "Every week."

*mind blown*

You also get to use a computer for the GRE.

Yep, it's a whole other ball game.

Can't say I loved the instant score, but it sure as hell is better than waiting 3+ weeks.

To be fair, 600,000 people took the GRE last year, as opposed to the just over 100,000 LSATs administered in the same time frame.

not sure if there are less test takers during June, but it certainly seems like there are less June test takers who use TLS.

Tests by test takers: Sept/Oct>December>June>February

As Devils Advocate I'd say that you could easily run the LSAT through a ScanTron at the test center and give an non-validated raw score the day of the test at most testing centers. I took it at a large state school, I'm certain they have at least one ScanTron around.

Or just, you know, take the LSAT as a CBT. The CISSP exam shifted from PBT to CBT and I knew I passed that immediately. In the old days it took 6 weeks.

Judging by the survey questions that LSAC asked they'll be doing CBT soon enough, next 24 months if I had to guess.

This is BS gimme my score

But that doesn't let them five you the cancellation window. Also scantrons are really unreliable tech and scanning all of those would be insane. I used to score tests in my old job and there are so many more issues than you are aware of

Not sure where you're going with that. LSAT should take longer because it has fewer test takers?

I get the 4x a year thing, my criticism there is mostly facetious. Even the instant scoring part is tongue and cheek due the nature of the scoring process. But having it still a PBT in 2016 is archaic. CBT should cut the scoring down to 7 days instead of 24, I would bet.

i mean it doesnt really even have anything to do with # of takers anyway (also not sure how ur comment makes sense but w.e) but I've been through plenty of waiter threads and gray days and the # of guests don't normally vary all that much between them... then again this year seems to be pretty subpar so far with everything else so who knows

Okay. But they're using ScanTron, they're already scanning an 'insane' number of tests in the process anyway.

It's because the GRE is computer-based. I really do not think the structure of the LSAT translates well to a computer. It's too helpful to write on.

I think having the testing infrastructure is a concern. To continue offering the 4 tests a year format, they would need test centers that have large banks of computers, not saying it isn't possible, just adds some complexity. The GRE/GMAT can get a way with this because they offer a lot more tests with a smaller turnout at each one. They could also go away from the 4 tests a year format but that would be a huge shake up.

The whole thing wouldn't need to be on a computer, they could just give us all tablets instead of answer sheets
