Score Release -- Timing?

For those of you who have taken the LSAT previously, around when did you receive your scores on the Friday they are released? Could you sign in in the morning and get your scores, or was it typically later in the day before they were accessible? I ask because I am going to be on a transatlantic flight on the 29th that will be departing at 11AM EST. I don't exactly relish the thought of knowing that scores are released and being unable to access them.

Typically, the scores are released starting in the mid-afternoon on the East Coast, going throughout the night. I took the September '09 LSAT and got my score around 10:30pm Eastern.

I sat for September's administration last year I got mine around 5pm eastern time ... on the BoltBus... on the stranger next to me's iPhone because my laptop died 5 minutes before my center's scores were released. This test makes you do desperate things.

Crud. If it's going to be that late it might interfere with my plans for dinner with the girl person.

Wonder if we'll go to a place with wi-fi

Guhhh....looks like I'll be getting my scores 16+ hours after I had hoped (factoring in the time change, of course.) Oh well, drinking when I land regardless!

The plane might have wifi! Worth looking into.

On a side note, why start drinking when you land when you can start in the air?

Don't worry about it. Put it out of your mind. I really don't think anybody is going to lose a shot at Harvard because they read their LSAT scores the day after they were released.

Besides, we were only promised November 1. If you get your scores on October 30, I would still consider it a bonus.

Looking back at threads. December scores were available about 9am EST - that was between Christmas and New Year so the LSAC office was closed. September 09 scores were about 3pm EST.

It may be they try to release scores when the office is closed so they don't need to deal with a deluge of phone calls all at once.

Mine came out in the late afternoon like 430. I was a later batch. I am on the West Coast
