LSAT Scoring Formula
Scaled Score = f(Raw Score)
where f is the conversion function based on LSAC equating tables
The LSAT uses equating to ensure fairness across different test administrations. Each test has a unique conversion table that maps raw scores to scaled scores (120-180).

Understanding LSAT Scoring
The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is scored on a scale from 120 to 180, with 180 being the highest possible score. Your scaled score is derived from your raw score (the number of questions you answered correctly) through a process called equating, which ensures fairness across different test administrations.
LSAT Score Components
Raw Score: The raw score is simply the total number of questions you answered correctly across all scored sections. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so you should answer every question. For a 3-section test, there are typically 75-76 scored questions, while a 4-section test has 100-101 scored questions (with one experimental section not counted).
Scaled Score: Your raw score is converted to a scaled score (120-180) using a conversion table specific to that test administration. This equating process accounts for slight variations in difficulty between different LSAT administrations. The conversion ensures that a 160 on one test represents the same level of performance as a 160 on another test, even if the raw score required differs slightly.
Percentile Rank: Your percentile rank shows how you performed relative to other test takers over the previous three years. For example, a scaled score of 160 typically places you around the 73rd percentile, meaning you scored higher than approximately 73% of test takers.
LSAT Score Calculation Process
The LSAT scoring process follows these steps:
Step 1 - Calculate Raw Score: Count the number of questions answered correctly across all scored sections. Each question is worth one point, regardless of difficulty. With approximately 75-76 questions on a 3-section test, your raw score can range from 0 to 76.
Step 2 - Apply Conversion Table: The raw score is converted to a scaled score using a test-specific table. The conversion relationship can be approximated as: Scaled Score ≈ 120 + (Raw Score / Total Questions) × 60, though actual conversions vary by test.
Step 3 - Determine Percentile: Your scaled score is compared to scores from test takers over the previous three years to determine your percentile rank. Percentile rankings are updated annually by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC).
LSAT-Flex Conversion
The LSAT-Flex was introduced in 2020 as a remote testing option during the COVID-19 pandemic. It consisted of only three sections (one Reading Comprehension, one Analytical Reasoning/Logic Games, and one Logical Reasoning) with approximately 75-76 total scored questions, compared to the traditional four-section format with 100-101 questions.
To convert LSAT-Flex scores to traditional LSAT equivalents, you can calculate the percentage of questions answered correctly and apply it proportionally. The formula is: Percentage = (Flex Raw Score / 75) × 100. This percentage can then be used to estimate performance on the traditional format.
Law School Admission Predictor
Law schools use a combination of your LSAT score and undergraduate GPA (UGPA) to calculate an academic index or admissions index. This numerical index is the primary factor in admissions decisions, though other factors like personal statements, letters of recommendation, and work experience also play important roles.
Academic Index Formula
The general formula for calculating an admission index is:
Index = (a × LSAT) + (b × GPA) + c
Where a is the LSAT coefficient (typically 0.01-0.02), b is the GPA coefficient (typically 0.2-0.3), and c is a school-specific constant.
Different law schools assign different weights to LSAT scores versus GPA. Generally, the LSAT score accounts for approximately 60% of the admissions decision, while GPA accounts for about 40%. Some schools are more LSAT-heavy, meaning a high LSAT score can compensate for a lower GPA, while others place more emphasis on undergraduate academic performance.
Target School Tiers
Top 6 (T6) Schools: Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, University of Chicago, NYU. These schools typically require LSAT scores of 171-175+ and GPAs of 3.8-3.95. Percentile ranks are generally 97th percentile or higher.
Top 14 (T14) Schools: The most prestigious law schools including the T6 plus schools like Berkeley, Michigan, UVA, Duke, Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, and UCLA. Median LSAT scores range from 168-175, with GPAs typically 3.7-3.9.
Top 50 Schools: Competitive regional and national schools offering strong legal education and career prospects. Median LSAT scores range from 155-167, with GPAs from 3.3-3.7.
Top 100 Schools: Accredited law schools providing quality legal education with regional focus. Median LSAT scores range from 150-160, with GPAs from 3.0-3.5.

Frequently Asked Questions About LSAT Scores
A "good" LSAT score depends on your target schools. Generally, a score of 160 or above (73rd percentile) is considered good and competitive for top 50 law schools. A score of 170 or above (95th percentile) is excellent and competitive for T14 schools. The median LSAT score is approximately 150-152 (38-45th percentile). For T6 schools like Yale, Harvard, and Stanford, scores of 171-175+ (97-99th percentile) are typically required.
The LSAT is scored on a scale from 120 to 180. Your raw score (number of questions answered correctly) is converted to a scaled score using a test-specific conversion table. This process, called equating, ensures fairness across different test administrations. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so you should answer every question. The test typically has 75-76 scored questions for the 3-section format or 100-101 questions for the 4-section format (with one experimental section).
LSAT-Flex was a remote, online version of the LSAT introduced in 2020 during COVID-19. It consisted of only three sections (one Reading Comprehension, one Analytical Reasoning/Logic Games, and one Logical Reasoning) with approximately 75-76 questions total, compared to the traditional four-section format. The scoring scale remained 120-180, but the conversion table was adjusted for fewer questions. LSAT-Flex scores are directly comparable to traditional LSAT scores through LSAC's equating process.
Law schools calculate an academic index combining your LSAT score and undergraduate GPA. The LSAT typically accounts for approximately 60% of the admissions decision, while GPA accounts for about 40%. The formula varies by school: Index = (a × LSAT) + (b × GPA) + c, where a, b, and c are school-specific coefficients. Schools use this index as the primary quantitative factor, though other elements like personal statements, letters of recommendation, work experience, and diversity factors also influence decisions.
To be competitive at Top 14 (T14) law schools, you typically need an LSAT score of 168 or higher, which corresponds to the 92nd percentile or above. Median LSAT scores for T14 schools range from 168-175. For the top 6 schools (Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, NYU), median scores are typically 171-175 (97-99th percentile). Combined with a GPA of 3.7-3.9, these scores make you a competitive applicant, though admission also depends on other factors like work experience and personal statements.
Yes! To calculate your LSAT score from a practice test, first count your raw score (total number of correct answers across all scored sections). Then use the conversion table specific to that practice test, which is usually provided by LSAC or the test prep company. Each official LSAT PrepTest has its own conversion table because of the equating process. Our calculator uses average conversion ranges based on historical data, giving you a good estimate of your scaled score (120-180) and percentile rank.
Your percentile rank indicates what percentage of test takers scored lower than you over the previous three years. For example, a 75th percentile score means you scored higher than 75% of test takers. Law schools use percentiles to understand your competitiveness because scaled scores alone don't show relative performance. A 160 (73rd percentile) is above average, a 170 (95th percentile) is excellent, and a 175+ (99th percentile) is exceptional. Percentile ranks help admissions committees compare applicants fairly across different testing years.
To convert between 3-section (75-76 questions) and 4-section (100-101 questions) formats, calculate the percentage of questions answered correctly. For example, if you scored 58/75 on a 3-section test, that's 77.3% correct. On a 4-section test, 77.3% would be approximately 78/101 questions correct. Both would convert to roughly the same scaled score (around 162-163) because the conversion tables are equated to ensure fairness. The formula is: Percentage = (Raw Score / Total Questions) × 100.
