Enter your correct answers for each LSAT section — Logical Reasoning 1, Logical Reasoning 2, and Reading Comprehension — to calculate your raw score, estimated scaled LSAT score (120–180), and approximate percentile rank. Great for evaluating practice test performance and setting realistic score goals.

Your raw score is simply the total number of questions you answered correctly across all scored sections. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so every correct answer adds one point to your raw score. The raw score is then converted to the familiar 120–180 scaled score.
LSAC uses a statistical process called equating to convert raw scores to scaled scores on the 120–180 scale. The exact conversion varies slightly from test to test to account for differences in difficulty, ensuring that a 165 on one exam reflects the same skill level as a 165 on another.
A score of 160 or above is generally considered strong and puts you above the 80th percentile. Scores of 170+ are exceptional, placing you in roughly the top 2–3% of test takers. The 'good' score for you depends on your target law schools — T-14 schools typically expect 168 or higher, while many accredited schools accept scores in the 150s.
The current digital LSAT format includes two Logical Reasoning sections (up to 26 questions each) and one Reading Comprehension section (up to 27 questions), for a maximum raw score of 79 questions. The Logic Games section was removed in August 2024.
Harvard, Yale, and other T-14 law schools typically look for applicants in the 90th percentile or higher, which corresponds to a scaled score around 166–170+. Regional and lower-ranked accredited schools may admit students with scores in the 50th–75th percentile range, roughly 152–160.
No. The LSAT uses rights-only scoring, meaning only correct answers count toward your raw score. Incorrect answers and skipped questions are simply worth zero points. You should always answer every question, even if you need to guess.
As of current LSAC policy, you can take the LSAT up to five times in a five-year period and up to three times in a single testing year. Most law schools now consider your highest score, though some average multiple scores, so it is worth checking each school's policy.
This calculator provides a strong estimate based on the standard conversion curve used by LSAC. Because the exact conversion table varies slightly from test to test (due to equating for difficulty), your actual score on official test day may differ by one to two points. Use this tool for practice planning and goal-setting rather than as a guarantee of your official result.
