What LSAT score do I get for my raw score? Use the calculator
Enter how many questions you got right on a practice test. The calculator returns an estimated scaled score on the 120 to 180 scale. That is the whole job of this page, and the estimate comes with one rule you need to know: it is an estimate. LSAC sets a different conversion for every test administration. The same raw score can land one point higher or lower on a different test. Use this number to judge your practice. Do not use it as a promise.
Fill in either the three sections or the total. Want every row instead? The LSAT score converter shows the full conversion table.
How the calculator works
Your raw score is a count. It is the number of scored questions you answered correctly. Nothing else is added or subtracted. There is no guessing penalty, so a wrong answer and a blank answer cost the same: zero. Always answer every question.
The calculator compares your raw count against a typical raw-to-scaled conversion for the current test format (three scored sections, about 75 to 76 scored questions) and returns the scaled score that count usually lands near, plus a small range around it. The range is the honest part. Because LSAC equates each test form separately, a range is the most any calculator can truthfully give you.
A few reference points from a typical conversion, all estimates:
- About 67 correct usually lands near 170.
- About 55 to 56 correct usually lands near 160.
- About 42 correct usually lands near 150.
Your test's own conversion table, printed with that test, beats every row above. If you took an official practice test, use its table first and this calculator second.
What to do with your number
A scaled score by itself tells you where you stand. It does not tell you what to fix. That takes a breakdown by question type.
Start free. The Starter plan costs nothing and needs no credit card. You get a baseline diagnostic, the full personal study plan, all 16 lessons, 1 timed LR section, and 1 full practice test. Take the test, get the breakdown, and your plan is built from your weakest types.
When you need the full engine, Self-Study is $49 a month: the full bank of 2,530+ original practice questions (1,640+ Logical Reasoning and 1,000+ Reading Comprehension, across 140+ Reading Comprehension passage sets), timed sections, full practice tests, and diagnostic retakes. Guided is $99 a month and adds live weekly classes. Every paid plan is month to month, and paid plans carry a 15-day money-back guarantee.
Tutoring exists at $70 an hour if you want it. The program is built for self-study. You do not need tutoring to use any of this.
Frequently asked questions
Is the calculator's score my real LSAT score?
No. It is an estimate from a typical conversion. LSAC converts raw scores with a table built for each specific test, and that table is the only official one. Your official score comes from LSAC after you take a real administration.
Why does the calculator give a range instead of one number?
Because one exact number would be a lie. Scales vary by test. The same raw count converts slightly differently from one administration to the next, so the range is where your score would most likely land.
How many questions do I need right for a 170?
On a typical conversion, about 67 out of roughly 76 scored questions, as an estimate. Some tests ask for one more or one fewer. Treat 67 as the neighborhood, not the address.
Does a wrong answer hurt more than leaving a question blank?
No. There is no guessing penalty. A wrong answer scores zero and a blank scores zero. Guessing can only help. Never leave a question blank.
What raw score do I enter if I only took one section?
Do not stretch one section into a full-test estimate. A single timed section is useful for pacing and accuracy, but a scaled score needs a full test: both Logical Reasoning sections and the Reading Comprehension section that count toward your score. Take the free full practice test in Starter if you need a real baseline.
Can this calculator raise my score?
No. It measures. What raises the score is drilling your weakest question types untimed until the method holds, then adding timed sections, then full tests with a review of every miss. That sequence is the study plan, and it starts with the free diagnostic.
