How Is The LSAT Scored?

The test-taking world would be such an easier place to understand if every test was scored on a 1-100 scale. However, the LSAT is on a scale that ranges from 120- the lowest score possible- to 180- a perfect score.

The scoring on the LSAT might seem strange because there are not, in fact, 180 questions on the test. Thus, getting one wrong answer does not equate to one lost point in your overall score. Rather, your raw score, the number you get correct out of the roughly 100-101 questions on the test, is converted into a 120-180 score based on a mathematical formula specific to that particular test. This method, with different conversions formulas for each LSAT, is designed to minimize the variance in scores across the four LSAT administered each year, and across LSATs over different years

On average, getting a raw score of 87 (out of 101) or above converts into an LSAT score of 170 or above. Note that a score in this range places you, on average, in the 98th percentile, meaning that only 2% of all those who take the LSAT score a 170 or above. To get a score in the 160s you should aim for getting 70-85 of the questions correct, or around 70%. A score in the 160’s will place you in roughly the 80th percentile.

How Is Your LSAT Score Considered For Law School Admissions?

Your LSAT score is a crucial factor in determining where you go to law school—or if you go at all. Law school admission committees look at your LSAT score to determine if you have the skills required for success in law school. It helps admissions officers compare your record with those of students from other schools.

Most law schools use an “index formula” — a weighting of your LSAT score and undergraduate cumulative GPA to determine your application’s objective strength.

Almost universally, the LSAT score has a greater weight than your undergraduate GPA, accounting for more than 50% of the admissions decision.

What’s a strong LSAT score may vary by law school program, according to Kaplan Test Prep’s most recent survey of law school admissions factor, but poor performance on the exam can severely damage your chances of getting in. According to the nearly 100 admissions officers we spoke with in 2018, 49 percent say a low LSAT score is “the biggest application dealbreaker”; a poorly written personal essay placed second at 22 percent.

So while Law School Admissions officers often rank LSAT as the number one factor in law school admissions, your LSAT score does not stand alone. Whether or not you are admitted to law school depends on other factors, too, such as GPA, recommendations and personal statement.
