I'm curious to know what you guy's gut feeling was in relation to your actual score, and how many of your answers were actual guesses. I have a gut feeling score, but I'm hoping I did a couple better... :/

Outliers happen, of course, but they're outliers for a reason. Barring some actual disaster on test day (and I mean like "guy next to me threw up all over my scantron" disaster, not "oh I feel like I didn't do so hot in section 3"), +/- 3 is the best estimate you'll get, and the rest is a pure guessing game, so why bother going beyond that?
+100!
I was personally far too pessimistic, which I find to be the norm. I thought I bombed but actually scored a bit better than my previous best. I also think the pessimism tends to increase as score increases, because high scorers are more aware of all the things that they could have screwed up.

You will drive yourself inane thinking about the score. In terms of guessing, I knew that I was not at my best in October, and I guessed a score range and scored within that range. "+/-3" is commonly stated on forums, but it is not the rule. I scored well below my average on the October exam.
I haven't taken but 1 whole PT since October so..yeah
I'm sure I'm within 3 of my PT average also... unfortunately, that is the difference between success and most likely a disastrous end to this cycle. :(
I performed better than I thought both times. Actual scores were less than 1 point different than respective average PTs leading up to the exams.
I didn't try to guess my exact score, but my gut told me that I wasn't going to hit my goal and it was right. I didn't, but I was within -3 of my average. Regardless, if this is your first take, you'll be fine. If you don't hit your goal, you can retake the LSAT. :) If it makes you feel better, just assume the worst realistic scenario and began preparing to do it again.
Yeah im not worried anymore. convinced myself that i came, i saw and i conquered that baby
Seriously, I drove myself crazy after my first take!! And all that speculation was for naught :D And here I am. I'm ok! You'll be ok, too.
Thanks... but cannnn't! I may need to buy that PS4 after all.

Impossible to guess. BUT just go ahead and assume you were +/- 3 of your average of last 3. That will keep you sane and also typically reflects reality. There's not accounting for outliers. So just stop thinking about it, ok?
