Let's not turn on each other! That's what LSAC wants

I feel like this is a unique form of psychological torture. Don't crack under pressure

[gltm]

One of the LSAT test centers is closed right? Not LSAC itself, correct?

[Miznitic]

There is someone working at the LSAC currently :: http://www.lsac.org/news-and-announcements.asp#closed

Oh, Lord. Now I'm listening to church music in the hope that it will raise my LSAT score. Not even Christian. Someone please save me from myself!

I don't think that's such a bad idea...

Yup there is.
Some test takers are being asked to check the LSAC weather continuously to see whether any other centers will close.

I'm 99.99 percent positive we will get our score today. But around 5-10 PM.

Alright, this may be my first post to this thread, but I have to say... THANK GOD other people are also flipping out. I know they are officially released on Monday, but I can't help myself. My plan was to check my email this morning and then maybe again in the afternoon. Instead, I am sitting in front of my computer obsessively refreshing.

Again, I am so glad you all are right there with me!!! (Even though this blog is definitely increasing my anxiety, I can't stop! I swear they create the LSAT just to see if you can actually stay sane enough to show up on your first day of law school/complete your application!)

What do you think it will be like waiting for grades in school.

[SoCalKevin]

So if the scores are coming out today, why wouldn't they release them in the morning instead of late into the night?

[Andrew the Wolverine]

I have a sick feeling that even after spending $1200 on a prep course, prep testing around 170, that I will somehow have done no better on this retake. I know I'm going to puke when I see my score...almost makes me not want to look

...This blog really is a perverted form of psychological sadomasochism. The sad thing is, it's all so, so true.

How does LSAC determine who receives their score and 5 and who at 10? Also, are those times EST?? I hope I get mine at 5. I can't eat, I'm so nervous!!! Agh!!

Their release times have seemed totally random and apparently not everyone gets their scores at the same time. According to past threads some releases have been early in the morning others have been late at night. They analyze the situation and decide to release them at the most annoying and least ideal times.

[thegor1987]

has anyone had interaction via telephone with another human employed by LSAC today??

I havent called but I assume no one will pick up?

I think there is a message telling you they are closed when you call.

They might be working to make sure all the necessary tasks have been completed before releasing scores. For instance, some people have holds placed on their files, it might take the system some bit of time to sort out test centers/scores by location, they may be dealing with finding an alternative test date/center for those that have had their re-write canceled, and etc.

LSAC is busy. We just have to wait. Come on the computer at 8 PM and you'll happily see your score.

I'm kind of there too. Like I felt good when I took the test, but now I worry. And worry. And worry. And I really really don't want to do take #3 in June. I just don't think there is anything else PT'ing will help me with if my nerves just get the best of me on test day.

I checked the official waiting thread from 2009 February and they didnt start getting their scores till about 11 pm US central time, it obviously was a friday too. Sooo looks like there is a long wait ahead.

My preparations include:
I bought a 30 of BL and am planning on sitting infront of my 50 in plasma and watching USA kick some ass and then watching Canada lose. AND i made all my roomates find an alternate place to hang out today/tonight in case i went bollistic. Plus, informed all the local bars and police stations that i will be wearing a name tag with my score posted below in case they find me passed out with my attached address and emergency contact numbers. I think drunk is the only way to go about this.

Sheesh...on a day like this they should be working remotely from home with their cell phones.

Personally I'm looking at tfln.com and lamebook.com to keep myself entertained. Oh, and upbeat music too...

It depends on test location/center code. It goes in numeric/alphabetical order. Don't worry about it. I'm just speculating. There is no guarantee we'll see our scores around that time, but I predict we will.

I've never had a problem waiting on grades for school. Then again, I've never had a class that 100% of my grade was the final. I just want to get into law school, then I can worry about my grades there.

I can imagine this right now: An LSAC worker reading these posts and sounding off an evil laugh and saying, "Those poor suckers . . . ." What a cruel wait it is . . .

P.S. the last february official waiting thread had over 167 worth of pages. we arent as psycho as they were about this.

I've heard it's worse. But at least when we're in law school we'll be surrounded by peers, not holed up in our rooms staring at TLS.

My brother just told me that he got his score around dinner time CST. That was December 2008 I believe.

Looks like I'm gonna be up all night. I'm five hours ahead of EST...sigh. Perhaps I'll hit the pub.
