The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is scored on a scale of 120-180. Use this calculator to estimate your scaled score based on section performance and see how you compare to other test-takers.
The LSAT converts your raw score (number of questions answered correctly) to a scaled score between 120-180 through a process called equating. The current LSAT has three scored sections: two Logical Reasoning sections (~25 questions each) and one Reading Comprehension section (~27 questions). The experimental section is not scored.
LSAT Scoring Process
A test-taker converts raw correct answers from a practice LSAT into a scaled 120 to 180 score
An applicant works out how many more questions to get right to reach a scholarship-level score
A student compares scaled scores across multiple practice exams to measure improvement over time
A prospective law student sees roughly what percentile a scaled score falls into for admissions context
Convert your practice test results to scaled scores without waiting for official scoring.

Monitor improvement across practice tests by comparing estimated scaled scores.
A score of 160+ (80th percentile) is competitive for most law schools. Top 14 schools typically require 170+ (95th percentile), while 165+ opens doors to top 25 programs.
This provides an estimate based on typical LSAT conversion curves. Actual scores vary slightly between administrations due to the equating process.
As of August 2024, the Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) section was replaced with a second Logical Reasoning section following a legal settlement.
The median is about 152. A 160 puts you near the 73rd percentile and is competitive for many schools; 165+ (≈87th) targets the top 25; and 170+ (≈95th) is typical for T14 schools. Scores range 120-180.
Your raw score (number of questions answered correctly out of ~77 — there's no penalty for wrong answers) is converted to a 120-180 scaled score using an equating process that adjusts for each test's difficulty. This tool applies a typical curve as an estimate.
