LSAT Writing

Got an email about the LSAT writing sample and was a bit confused so I hope someone can help. They repeatedly say the writing sample will be available to complete 8 days before testing day, so Oct 1. But HOW LONG is it available to complete after testing day?

I'm definitely not wasting precious time and energy on the writing sample before test day, but will be much less stressed after, so was hoping to complete it in the week after testing. But nowhere does it say how long you can do this! Anyone have any idea for me?

Thanks!

Not sure, but I would recommend taking it before the test - it would be a good break from studying and also prevents from having a delayed score, in case you want to do it again.

I could be mistaken but I think it stays open, you just don't see your score before having a writing sample on file. For reference, I took mine two weeks after the final test date administered so I think its safe to say you could take it in the week after testing

I did mine a week after and got my score on time

The writing sample doesn't close I believe- you just need to have it processed in time for the score release date if you want to see your score that specific day. I took mine a week after the test and it was processed in time. Even if it isn't processed in time though your score will simply be on hold and then immediately released as soon as your writing sample is processed and on file.

Thank you all!

I took my writing sample about 3.5 weeks after I took my test and I still got my score on time. It never expires, but you have to take it if you want your LSAT score back.
