What is an LSAT score conversion?
An LSAT score conversion turns your raw score, the number of questions you answered correctly, into the scaled score LSAC reports, and then into a percentile rank. The scaled score is the number law schools receive.
LSAC's April 2025 test had 77 scored questions, and LSAC's technical report puts current forms at about 77 to 79. The full LSAT Score Range runs from 120 at the bottom to 180 at the top. The average score in the 2024–2025 testing year was 152.66, and a 160 is higher than 71.1% of scores.
This converter applies LSAC's official raw-to-scaled table for the April 2025 form, the only disclosed test in the current format, and LSAC's percentile table for the 2023–2026 testing years.
Key takeaways
- The LSAT is reported on a 120–180 scale. The 2024–2025 average was 152.66.
- There is no deduction for a wrong answer, so never leave a question blank.
- LSAC's April 2025 test scored 77 questions: two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section.

How LSAT scoring works
The LSAT produces three numbers: a raw score, a scaled score and a percentile rank. Your raw score is the count of questions you answered correctly. There is no deduction for incorrect answers, so a blank can never beat a guess.
LSAC then converts the raw score to the 120 to 180 scale with a table built for that test form. The process is called equating, and it makes a given score, such as a 160, stand for the same proficiency whichever form you took. An easier form needs more correct answers for the same score, and a harder form needs fewer. How Is the LSAT Scored? walks through each step.
Your percentile rank is the share of scores from the 3 most recent testing years that were lower than yours. LSAC replaces the table by the end of July each year, and the current one covers 2023–2026. Every score and its rank is listed in LSAT Percentiles.

Step by step
How a raw score becomes a scaled score
Take a raw score of 56, or 21 of 77 questions missed. On the April 2025 conversion table, 56 correct converts to a 160. That scaled score is what LSAC reports, and it is higher than 71.1% of scores in the 2023–2026 percentile table.
Only the first step depends on the form. LSAC's percentile table is listed by scaled score, so a 160 carries the same percentile rank whichever test produced it. The full chart lists the scaled score and percentile for every raw score from 0 to 77.

What each score band means
The band names below are ours, not LSAC's. Each label is tied to a published figure: the share of scores lower in LSAC's 2023–2026 table, the 2024–2025 average of 152.66, and the fall 2025 law school medians from ABA reports.
LSAT score bands and what they mean, 2023–2026 percentiles
| Score | Share lower | Band and what it means |
|---|---|---|
| 178 | 99.6% | Elite, top 1%A 178 is at or above the median at every ABA law school. The highest fall 2025 median was 175. |
| 172 | 96.7% | Exceptional, top 3%A 172 is in T14 territory, where fall 2025 medians ran 170–174. |
| 167 | 89.5% | Highly competitive, top 11%A 167 meets or beats the median at most ABA law schools. Only 48 of 196 had a fall 2025 median of 165 or higher. |
| 162 | 77.2% | Competitive, top 23%A 162 beats 77.2% of scores and sits above the typical law school median, which was 159 for fall 2025. |
| 157 | 61.0% | Above averageA 157 is above the 2024–2025 average of 152.66 and within range at many accredited law schools. |
| 152 | 43.4% | Around the averageThe average LSAT score was 152.66 in 2024–2025, so a 152 sits near the middle of all test takers. |
| 145 | 21.5% | Below averageA 145 is below the 2024–2025 average of 152.66. The typical law school median was 159 for fall 2025, so a retake is often worth considering. |
Where the thresholds sit
On the April 2025 form, 7 more correct answers took a 160 to a 165. That form also skipped some scores entirely: no raw score produced 121, 123, 124, 126, 128, 174, 177 or 179. Other forms skip different scores, because each is equated on its own.
If your score lands right on 160, Is 160 a Good LSAT Score? looks at that score against percentiles and law school medians.
Worked examples
Three raw scores run through the April 2025 table, each at the fewest correct answers that reach the score, so each table shows how many questions you can miss and still land there.

Percentiles
Percentile by LSAT score
Percentile rank climbs fastest in the middle of the scale, where scores are most crowded. From 150 to 160, the share of scores lower rises by 34.5 points. From 165 to 175 it rises by only 13.5, because far fewer scores sit up there.
So a point gained near the middle passes more scores than a point gained near the top. LSAC replaces this table by the end of July each year, so a score's rank can shift slightly.

What changed on the LSAT
Logic Games are gone, the percentile table has moved on and delivery is shifting, but a scaled score still runs from 120 to 180. Each change sits beside what it replaced.
What changed on the LSAT, and what stayed the same
| Area | Now | Before |
|---|---|---|
| Logic Games | Removed from the August 2024 test. Two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section are scored | A scored Analytical Reasoning section, up to the June 2024 test |
| Score scale | 120–180, unchanged | 120–180 |
| Percentile table | 2023–2026 testing years, from the July 2026 update. A 160 is higher than 71.1% of scores | 2021–2024 testing years. A 160 was higher than 74.6% of scores |
| Test delivery | From the August 2026 LSAT, LSAC says the multiple-choice portion is “moving toward in-center testing for almost all test takers, with limited exceptions” | Online with live remote proctoring, or in person |
| LSAT Argumentative Writing | Still unscored and still taken remotely. LSAC says the content, structure and format of the test are not changing | Unscored, taken remotely |
Frequently asked questions
The LSAT is scored on a 120 to 180 scale. Your raw score is the number of questions you answer correctly, out of 77 scored questions on LSAC's April 2025 test. LSAC converts that raw score to the scale with a conversion table built for that test form, a process called equating. Read more: How Is the LSAT Scored?
Your raw score is the total number of questions you answered correctly. Every question is weighted exactly the same, and there is no deduction for incorrect answers, so a guess can only help you. Read more: LSAT Raw Score Conversion Chart.
The LSAT is scored from 120, the lowest possible score, to 180, the highest. The average score was 152.66 in the 2024–2025 testing year, and a 160 is higher than 71.1% of scores. Read more: LSAT Score Range.
LSAC's April 2025 test had 77 scored questions: Logical Reasoning sections of 25 and 25 and a Reading Comprehension section of 27, plus one unscored section. Each section is 35 minutes. LSAC's technical report puts current forms at 25 to 26 questions per Logical Reasoning section and 27 in Reading Comprehension, so 77 to 79 scored questions in all. Read more: LSAT Score Calculator.
It depends on the schools you are aiming for. A 160 is higher than 71.1% of scores and sits above the typical law school median, which was 159 for the fall 2025 entering class. Fall 2025 medians at T14 schools ran 170–174. Read more: What Is a Good LSAT Score?
The converter uses LSAC's official conversion table for the April 2025 LSAT, the only disclosed test in the current format, and LSAC's percentile table for the 2023–2026 testing years. Other forms convert slightly differently, so treat the result as a close estimate.
Slightly, yes, but the LSAT is not curved against the people who test with you. LSAC uses equating, so that a given scaled score represents the same proficiency on every form. An easier form needs more correct answers for the same scaled score, and a harder form needs fewer.
No. LSAT Argumentative Writing is unscored and does not affect your 120–180 scaled score. It is still required: LSAC will not release your score to law schools until an approved writing sample is on file, and the sample is shared with every law school you apply to.
