Hi! I am taking the Nov LSAT next Friday and have a quick question about the Writing Sample. Although it opens in advance (this week), it's my understanding that I could take it after I take the MC exam (and they won't release my score until I've submitted). I've not started reviewing anything for the Writing part and my thinking is I'd rather do that right after the exam (within a couple of days) to give myself maximized time for final studying etc. Is there any issue with doing that? Thanks so much, so appreciated!

    Hi Margeret7,

    I just called LSAC about the very same thing yesterday. I wanted to know if I could take the writing portion 2 weeks after the test and they said yes. The writing portion of the exam opens 8 days prior to the LSAT exam, but you are also free to take the writing portion of the exam anytime after the official LSAT test because there is no deadline for the writing sample. They just won't release your official LSAT score until it's submitted. Here's a link to Frequently Asked Questions about the LSAT Writing portion.

    You are fine doing it after. I did mine 10 days after I took the October test.
