About the LSAT Score Calculator
This LSAT score calculator converts a practice-test raw score — the number of questions you answered correctly — into an estimated LSAT scaled score between 120 and 180, then looks up the percentile rank LSAC reports for that score. Since August 2024 the multiple-choice LSAT has three scored sections (two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension), usually about 75 to 78 scored questions, so you can set the exact number of scored questions on your test.
It is for law school applicants tracking practice tests, deciding whether they are ready to sit the real exam, or working out how many more questions they need for a target such as 160 or 170. The table shows the raw score needed for each scaled score on a test of your length.
Every LSAT form has its own conversion chart, set by equating so that a given scaled score means the same thing on every test. This calculator uses a representative curve based on typical published charts, so your official or practice-test score can differ from the estimate by a few points. Percentiles come straight from LSAC’s latest three-year table.
With the default inputs, the estimated lsat score is 164. Change any value above to recalculate instantly.

- 2Enter that raw score and the number of scored questions on the test.
- 3Read your estimated scaled score and LSAC percentile.
- 4Check the table for the raw score you need for your target.
- 5Compare against the official conversion chart if your practice test includes one.
Formula and method
The LSAT raw score is simply the number of questions answered correctly; every question carries the same weight and there is no penalty for wrong answers. LSAC converts the raw score to the 120–180 scale with a form-specific chart produced by equating, so harder forms need slightly fewer correct answers for the same score.
Because charts differ by form and by the number of scored questions, this calculator works with the share of questions correct and interpolates a representative curve (about 54% correct for 150, 73% for 160, 88% for 170 and 98% for 180). The percentile is the exact LSAC figure: the percentage of scores below yours across the 2023–24, 2024–25 and 2025–26 testing years.

Worked examples
60 of 76 correct
60/76 is 78.9% correct, which falls between the 73% (160) and 81% (165) points on the curve and rounds to 164. LSAC reports that 82.75% of scores were below 164.
Half the questions right
38/76 is exactly 50% correct, between 44% (145) and 54% (150), giving 148. About 30% of test takers scored below 148, so this is below the median score of roughly 153–154.
Older 100-question PrepTest
92% correct sits between the 88% (170) and 94% (175) points: 170 + 5 × 4 ÷ 6 = 173.3, which rounds to 173. A 173 beat 97.59% of scores.
Frequently asked questions
How is the LSAT scored?+
Your raw score is the number of questions you answer correctly in the scored multiple-choice sections. LSAC converts it to the 120–180 scale using a chart specific to your test form. There is no deduction for wrong answers.
How many questions are on the LSAT now?+
Since August 2024 the LSAT has four 35-minute multiple-choice sections: two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension are scored, and one more section of either type is unscored. Scored questions usually total about 75–78.
How many can I miss for a 170?+
On a typical 76-question test you need roughly 67 correct for 170, so about 9 misses. The exact number depends on the form’s conversion chart and can vary by one or two questions.
What is a good LSAT score?+
The median LSAT score is around 153–154. A 160 beats about 71% of scores, a 165 about 85% and a 170 about 94%, according to LSAC’s current percentile table. Competitive law schools often report medians in the high 160s or 170s.
Is the logic games section still on the LSAT?+
No. Analytical Reasoning (logic games) was removed starting with the August 2024 test. The scored sections are now Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, plus the unscored LSAT Argumentative Writing sample.
