Find out what a raw, scaled and percentile LSAT score is and how to convert that one score into another.<\/p>\n

LSAT Score Types<\/h2>

A raw LSAT score<\/strong> is simply the number of questions answered correctly.<\/p>\n

A scaled LSAT score<\/strong> is a conversion of the raw score, also known as the familiar 120\u2013180 number. For example, a raw score of 67 is 67 correct answers, which converts to a scaled score of 170. A raw score of 58\u2014meaning 58 correct answers\u2014converts to a scaled score of 162.<\/p>\n

On a previous test, a raw score of 58 might convert to a 150 or a 152. To account for differences in overall difficulty, each iteration of the test<\/a> has a slightly different raw score-to-scaled score conversion table.<\/p>\n

LSAT percentile scores<\/strong> indicate how a test taker performed relative to other test takers over a three-year period. The conversion from scaled score to percentile score remains relatively stable, with only minor variations over the years. Test after test, a 153 scaled score is approximately a 50th percentile score.<\/p>\n

LSAT scoring looks a bit different these days, as the exam only has three scored sections and roughly 75 points. Below is the scoring scale LSAC released for their May 2020 LSAT Flex. Even though the LSAT Flex is no longer administered, its scoring will remain relevant to the LSAT going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
