So you took the LSAT on Saturday...now what?

From what we have seen across the Internet, the Reading Comprehension passage with a scientific focus and the Logic Game were the sources of some frustration. Overall though, it sounds like the sections were as challenging as expected. Despite that, we have no doubt that you're anxious about getting your scores back, and so we thought we would tackle some of the more frequently asked questions.

When will scores be available?

If you have an LSAC account, you will not have to wait quite as long as everyone else. Look out for an email from LSAC on Wednesday, October 30^th (so only 22 days to go!). For those of you without LSAC accounts, they plan to send scores by mail starting Thursday, November 7^th.

Can I cancel my score?

Yes, you have through this Friday, October 11^th to cancel your score. The proper way to do so is to submit a written request to LSAC using this form: http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/scorecancellationform.pdf?sfvrsn=2 . You must fax or send by expedited or overnight mail; LSAC will not accept the requests by email. The fax number and address can be found on their site: http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/score-cancellations#written

Now, more importantly, should I cancel my score?

Most likely not. The odds are your test performance on Saturday was not a complete disaster, and as such, you should wait to see how you scored. If you were ill on test day or made errors when filling in your answers, then canceling your score does make sense.

Ok, that helps, but what if I did not score as well as I hoped?

The next test date is December 7, 2013, and you can register until close of business on Monday, November 4^th. This offers some of you the chance to see your October scores before making a decision to register or not. And if you feel that you need to retake the test, but December is too soon, then LSAC also offers a test date in February 2014.
