LSAT scores are released on LSAC’s published score-release dates, typically in the morning Eastern Time, as long as required writing and account conditions are complete.
Current Official Schedule
LSAC publishes test dates, registration deadlines, and score release dates on its official LSAT dates page. As of April 30, 2026, listed upcoming score releases include June 24, 2026 for the June 2026 LSAT and August 26, 2026 for the August 2026 LSAT.
Why Scores Can Be Delayed
Scores may be delayed if your LSAT Writing or LSAT Argumentative Writing requirement is incomplete, if there is a hold on your account, or if LSAC needs additional review.
What to Do Before Release Day
Confirm your writing sample status, check your JD account, and avoid making final application decisions until the official score is posted.
