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

    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

    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 :sweat_smile:

    Okay, I think you might be confused :sweat_smile: 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!

    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 HAndrew H Free Trial Member

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

  • stratocasterstratocaster Free Trial Member
    76 karma

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

  • Andrew HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    90 karma

    So need average of 14 marks +-for every section

    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 HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    edited October 2018 90 karma

    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 HAndrew H Free Trial Member

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

  • stratocasterstratocaster Free Trial Member

    Are the results coming out now?

  • Andrew HAndrew H Free Trial Member

    Not yet! They will email scores later

  • stratocasterstratocaster Free Trial Member

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

  • Andrew HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    90 karma

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

  • stratocasterstratocaster Free Trial Member
    76 karma

    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 HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    90 karma

    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

  • stratocasterstratocaster Free Trial Member
    76 karma

    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 HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    90 karma

    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.

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

  • akistotleakistotle Member 🍌🍌
    9382 karma

    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.

    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.)

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

  • stratocasterstratocaster Free Trial Member
    76 karma

    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 HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    90 karma

    The longer we wait, the more anxious we feel

    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 ;)

    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 -.-

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

    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 HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    90 karma

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

  • Andrew HAndrew H Free Trial Member
    90 karma

    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

    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

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

  • Andrew HAndrew H Free Trial Member

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