Temporary Score Hold

Hi,

I took the June 2024 LSAT and just 2 days before the score release, I received an email saying that my score is temporarily on hold. How should I read into it?

Hi,

I hope your score will be released soon. I wouldn't read too much into it. It could be something as simple as someone accidentally walking behind your testing area, background noise, or you touching your face often at some point, so it was flagged for review to make sure it was accidental and not cheating. Anecdotally, most students report that their scores were eventually released, so I hope this helps relieve some anxiety.

Thanks!

It just makes me uncomfortable. I saw people saying that it is usually an indicator of big score jump. This is my second take. I got both excited and scared.

Hopefully, a score jump is the case for you. We have heard some anecdotal reports of that as well. If it helps, Jon Denning posted a longer explanation of score holds in this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/ ... are_button

I hope this is the case. Waiting is crucial, really. They don't inform you about the reason, or at least telling that there is nothing to be worried about. I hop the end will be a happy result.
