When do December tests usually release? Forum

[2014]

I know that Sept/Oct releases 20 days later or 3 days before the quoted date, but for December these lead to different days.
Historically has it been 20 days later (i.e. Dec 31 this year) or 3 days before (Jan. 7)?

I think this year's release date will be tricky to predict, because the test date is 5-10 days later than any of the December dates of the past 6 years, and we start running into the New Year holiday. But if you go by the 18-23 day range, the predicted release date should be anywhere from 12/29 to 1/3. To my knowledge, scores have never been released on a Sunday or LSAC holiday (though it has happened on Saturday), so that eliminates 1/2 and 1/3. I'm also inclined to guess against 12/31 and 1/1 due to New Year's, and the 18-day wait has happened only once in the past 6 years, so my best guess would be Thu 12/30.

Thanks for the post. But why would 1/3 be an LSAC holiday? 1/3 would be my guess, and if not then I'd go with 12/30 also based on the chart.

Thanks for the chart, good to know that they typically beat their quote by a week at least. I'm going to assume 1/3 and be happy if it's earlier.

1/1 is a Saturday so the following Mon 1/3 should be an LSAC holiday.
