So it means it'll be on Nov 1st for Australian and Asian folks? What a torture.

Andrew H

Trust me, no matter what prep material you get, LSAC will not release same prep materials. johns real theory of justice was RC passage, neither of passages nor LR questions were in Preptest 80

Rigid Designator

All these new comments making me think scores are releasing! Stay strong, friends.

I bought superprep LSAC PT72-81 before test and none of RC nor LRwere the same

Yea, we never said LSAC repeats questions from disclosed tests

Okay, I think you might be confused Of course, LSAC will not use the disclosed test again!

PrepTest is a disclosed test. PrepTests won’t be used again as the real test. PrepTest 80 won’t be used again.

October 2018 LSAT in Asia and Australia was December 2016 LSAT in Asia, which was non-disclosed. December 2016 LSAT in Asia and Australia is not the same form as PrepTest 80 (December LSAT 2016).

Ah make sense!! No matter how hard or easy the LSAT is, no one can cheat and memorise previous past paper answers

Right, that can never happen!

Andrew H

Well, you reckon how many questions we need to get right to obtain LSAT score of 150 for this one?

No idea man. Probably similar to all the ones before? I hope we get the result tomorrow Australian time.

Andrew H

damn nervous for results tomorrow. It was quite a difficult test, but i find RC easier than LR

stratocaster

It seems to hover around 55-57 raw to get a 150

Andrew H

So need average of 14 marks +-for every section

akistotle

@"Andrew H" said:

We will never know, but it's not different from any other LSAT test form, so it should be about -45 to get a 150 (so about 55 questions right).

There abouts yeah. If first LR wasn't experimental I don't think I'll be too happy with my score

Andrew H

I’m fearing too! At least I know I answered confidently with LR (26) and RC (got first three passages done swiftly except limited time with bipedalism passage). The LR experimental and few logic games are giving me little nightmare; should combat over experimental section

Andrew H

Guys prepare to ? ? your whole body tonight! Results are freaking everyone who felt they need more improvement

stratocaster

Are the results coming out now?

Andrew H

Not yet! They will email scores later

stratocaster

Oh I thought by your other post that some people may have started getting scores released!

Andrew H

nah.... I am not sure of others, but scores seem to be release sometime during the day

stratocaster

I know we have to be patient but I just wanna know what I got. Its almost reminiscent of the anticipation on Christmas eve as a kid except instead of wondering if you got an xbox or a bike you get a surprise which is either elation or cruhsing disappointment lol

Andrew H

Lol, I want this as good Christmas present. Bloody 3 LRs are putting us into insane mode. If it were only 2LR, I would not stress out much

stratocaster

I didn't put a heap of study into my LSAT prep so I get what score I deserve really. 2LR would have been nice, 3 has made it hard to determine which one was experimental (I don't think anyone is even sure?). My RC first two passages were good, rest bad. LG not too good either but LR 2 and 3 did well I think.

Andrew H

im similar in your situation. the RC passage 4 Bipedalism did not have a chance to finish or read the passage. but heard that one was very difficult passage in context.

Andrew H

Is everyone going to stay awake midnight waiting for results or just sleep and wake up normally tomorrow?

akistotle

I think it will be October 31, 2018 at Eastern Time in the U.S. So I don't think it will be released at midnight in Asia/Oceania or Europe.

stratocaster

I read somewhere that this year international tests are often released around 7pm est, so that's like 10am aest

Yea, I think you are right. The official score release date for June 2018 LSAT in Asia, Australia and New Zealand was Wednesday, July 11, 2018, and many people received scores around 8:00 AM in China (GMT+8), 9AM in South Korea, 10AM in Australia on July 11, 2018.

So LSAC does release it on the day before (for them, ET in the U.S.)

LawSchoolClassof_2022

Wait, I am in Israel and right now it is Oct 30 (6.45pm). When can I expect results????

stratocaster

Should be any moment, I go between wanting scores released or wanting to wait out a bit longer haha. I read someone say 4pm aest is likely latest they will release, so maybe 5 hours max of waiting

Andrew H

The longer we wait, the more anxious we feel

Andrew H

OMG, scores not released yet, so anxious!!!

akistotle

@"Andrew H" said:

Right? That's why I wanted LSAC to announce the exact time of the release like they did for July and September LSATs in North America! haha

Andrew H

just want positive score lol

It would be nice! I'm thinking they wont release it until its the 31st est

I got exams I need to study for but I can't concentrate with this impending release -.-

Andrew H

This LSAT score will determine my admission into JD course, so it must be well above 150 to make it a safe entrance

stratocaster

@"Andrew H" said:

What's your WAM? You could always go to non-LSAT law school in Aus like Monash or Deakin. I've heard of people getting into unimelb JD with a 140 but very high 70-80+ WAM and possibly a grad access app too

Andrew H

My WAM not high enough, therefore I use LSAT to try get into Monash JD program

Andrew H

LR was one that ticked all of us because we are still not sure which one is experimental and therefore losing one part of LR is very significant, but I was confident with 26 LR questions and RC first three passages. The rest not so great as I hope

HopingforT14

I’ve turned grey on LSAC....

Andrew H

Fingers cross everyone!

stratocaster

I hope you get the score you want results are imminent documents have turned grey

Andrew H

Thank you otherwise it will be resit for better score

brizzle525

Waiting here with you all! I'm grey!! Best wishes to you all!

stratocaster

@"Andrew H" said:

That is a good way to look at it, always be able to have another attempt. Upside is I think Monash has mid year intake so you wont have to wait a whole year like for Melbourne JD

Andrew H

drinking two cups of coffee cause of slow result release

Andrew H

Taking forever and am frustrated cause of very nervous and anxious moment of determination

catherine-1

Will it appear on LSAC or will they email our results to us first ?

akistotle

@"catherine-1" said:

I think it appears on your LSAC account first and then you receive an email. I might be wrong though.

Andrew H

Has anyone received their LSAT scores yet? I’m still waiting anxiously
