is it a 9am EST release?
I think so? That's what it was in June
Yes. This is from their email: All October test takers will receive their scores on Wednesday, October 27, provided they have an approved LSAT writing sample on file. Scores will be released at approximately 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on October 27, but be advised that with thousands of scores populating across the system it may take a few minutes for all scores to be visible.

I took my test on the 10th. I had LG - RC - RC - LR
The LG was going well until the last game with the musicians/duets. I had ~12-14 minutes left but it still wrecked me. The last 3 questions were mostly random guesses.
My first RC was Mali government, evolutionary theory of humans, Alice Munro comparative, and paternalism of law.
The second RC was (1) something about human mind & computers, (2) privacy and regulation, (3) Babylon Hanging Gardens, and (4) Frederick Douglass comparative.
The second RC felt slightly easier than the first. But each one had some questions I struggled on.
My last section was LR but I don't remember much about it. I don't remember whether it was 25 or 26 questions. The only question I remember was one near the end about a superconductor (I think?).

I took the exam tuesday and had LG-RC-LR-LG. I cannot figure out which LG was experimental. Can anyone with one LG give some insight? One game that sticks out had music duets with violinists and pianists I think, and it was difficult for me. I remember my RC having passages about a spanish novel being ironic and another was about a bill restricting women's labor laws. I can't remember an LR example off the top of my head, but so far I haven't seen any familiar questions on this forum. I'd probably remember if I had seen something or not.
I only had 1 LG section and it included the duet/musicians game.
Dear lord that was a hard ass game
@qs2159431 said:
@maecyarthur733 yep I had one about outkast/rap and mali,evolution,paternalism for the other RC section. It seems the mali one may be the real one (internal screaming)
Yeah, the Mali/evolution/Alice Munro/paternalism must have been real. I also had an RC section with a compare passage A/B on whether Frederick Douglass was a closet libertarian (as someone with a PhD in 19thc history, that was lolz). The Alice Munro one fucked me on time... super hard, tons of questions, so had to rush through the paternalist law passage at the end.

LR was fair. LG was pretty straightforward until the last game which I pretty much guessed. My first RC had one passage about paternalistic law & working hours and was in general okay. The second RC was BRUTAL. The first two passages with about 8 questions each, and the comparative passage was about a female author (I believe) and I was totally destroyed by it. Read it twice but still couldn't answer most of the questions and ended up just guessing random answers.
I had the same sections as you. Same impression about RC: for one (the easy one, imo), the comparative passage was on Frederick Douglass. Pretty cruise. The other one, the comparative passage was on Alice Munro. I have read Alice Munro. I LIKE Alice Munro. But this passage my WORD just let me go softly, LSAT.

I had LR-LG-RC-LR. One LR had 25 questions, the other one had 26 questions. Is there any chance that the 25 question LR being the real one?? (Really hoped it is cuz the other one is much harder...)
Check out the powerscore podcast. They released the October lsat recap today

Okay, follow up on my previous post on LR. I think I mixed up topics since a lot of the topics I attributed to the 26 LR actually belonged to a 25 LR, which was supposedly real according to the powerscore guys.
Here are some real 25 question topics (there seemed to be two real 25s?): Blameworthiness, spelling ability to predict academic ability, psychics vs psychologists, chemical plant, beans and amino acids, disease incidence in opossums, iron and rock meteorites, rainfall and temperature changes/summer humidity levels, apparent generosity, GHB and heart disease.
Here are experimental topics: : roasted chicken, tyranny.
A different section had this: Moas, Earth and its hot core, tickets on overseas time shares, ducks getting stuck in fishing nets, California vs cockney dialects.
A different section: vitamin E and broccoli, a country should classify a species as endangered.
Possible different section: Yoncole Fruit juice w/ added sugars and coloring, lucid dreaming and moral culpability, characteristics of a persuasive speaker
Please double check and @ me if this sounds about right, it's around the 47:10 mark for the real ones and 51:10 for experimentals. Lmk if the any of the topics on the experimental seemed to belong to a 26 Q LR.
@maecyarthur733 Unfortunately based on reddit discussion I think the really hard female author comparative passage was from the real section...*sigh

I had an RC with a spanish novel being ironic as well! Did not have women's labor laws but did have tipping employees and hominid evolution. Did not get to the 4th reading passage...yikes. Also had 2 LGs and trying to figure out which was experimental.

Okay I recall some details on my LR sections:
26 LR: Disease incidence in mountain and lowland oppossums, mayor using offensive terms, iron vs rock meteorites, stone tools.
25 LR: Fruit juice with added colors, moral culpability during lucid dreaming, moral behavior and severe harm.
Some other questions that I remember but don't recall which sections: firing employees at a news station to save costs, paleolithic fishing/agriculture.
If you had a single lr, please @ if any of these ring a bell. If you had dubs and both ring a bell, please lmk what topics went to which sections and if you can recall any others.
I only had one LR and your first topics sound familiar as well as a question about children vs adults learning through play if that rings a bell for you. My only LR had 26q.
Yikes, the adults vs children learning through play does ring a bell. If that was in the 26Q and was your only LR, that's a little unfortunate since I definitely found the 26Q one to be harder.

Pretty sure I had both these LR (LG, LR, LR, RC order) I took Saturday afternoon (miraculously apparently because so many people couldn't). I also had the mali/paternalism RC that people are talking about. I can't remember much from the sections but the ? topics you said rang a bell, especially the iron/rock meteorite one.

They said on Twitter that one will be released this week

Took the test on 10/12 afternoon. Had RC-LG-RC-LR
First RC is about:
Mali history and democracy
biology evolution assumption, adaptation not perfect
Dear Life (comparative)
paternalism
Second RC topics:
rap music, innovation
comparative: one-sided contract
blackmail
dichotomy
For LR, I only remember a strengthening question about humid air being the cause for rain amount increase together with tempreture drop. I kept thinking about this question even after the test ended. And I think the correct answer should be the one about irrigation from deep well? though in the test I didn't pick this one LOL...
Thanks for this!
