Accessibility Statement

We want anyone preparing for the LSAT to be able to use the LSAT Score Converter, the score calculator and every guide on this site, whatever device or assistive technology they use.

Our target is level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We believe most of the site meets that level. We have not had an independent audit, so we do not claim full conformance, and section 3 lists the gaps we know about.

These features are built into the site:

• Skip link. The first press of the Tab key shows a "Skip to content" link that jumps past the header to the main content.
• Keyboard menus. The site menus are standard disclosure controls. Enter or Space opens a menu, Escape closes it and returns focus to its button, and it closes when focus moves elsewhere.
• Table of contents. Longer pages have a "Jump to" bar of ordinary links that marks the section you are reading.
• Visible focus. Links, buttons and score boxes show an indigo outline or border when they have keyboard focus.
• Reduced motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, we turn off smooth scrolling, transitions and the counting animation on score results.
• Charts with text alternatives. Every chart has a text description that lists its values, and a "Show the numbers as a table" control that opens the same figures as a data table.
• Accessible tables. Data tables have a caption and use header cells for their rows and columns. A table that is wider than the screen can take keyboard focus, so you can scroll it with the arrow keys.
• Labeled forms. Score boxes have visible labels, the plus and minus buttons have spoken names, and a score above the maximum is marked as invalid. Your scaled score and percentile are announced to screen readers when they change.
• Text contrast. We checked the body, secondary, link and button text colors against the backgrounds they sit on. Each pair meets the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5 to 1, apart from the exception listed in section 3.
• Page structure. Each page has one H1 heading, nested headings below it, a breadcrumb trail and separate landmarks for the header, main content and footer. Pages declare English as their language, and the logo has a text alternative.
• Zoom. We do not block pinch zoom, and the layout adjusts to narrow screens.
• Cookie banner. When the cookie banner is shown, it has two standard buttons, Reject and Accept, that work with a keyboard.

These are the problems we know about:

• Wide tables scroll sideways. On small screens, some tables are wider than the screen, so you need to scroll them sideways to see every column. A fade on the right edge shows when more columns are out of view.
• Faint maximum in score boxes. Inside the score boxes on the converter and the calculator, the light grey figure after the slash (the highest score you can enter) is below the 4.5 to 1 contrast ratio. On the converter, the same maximum is also written in the hint above the box.
• Light field borders. The grey border around each score box is lighter than the 3 to 1 contrast WCAG asks for on the edges of form controls. The label above each box shows where to type.
• Pinned bars on phones. On small screens, a score bar pinned to the bottom of the converter and calculator pages, and the cookie banner while it is showing, can cover the lower part of the screen. If either hides something you are using, scroll a little further.
• JavaScript needed for the tools. The converter and calculator need JavaScript to respond to what you type. If they do not work for you, the LSAT Raw Score Conversion Chart lists every raw score with its scaled score and percentile.

If you find a problem that is not on this list, please tell us (see section 6).

The site is built with standard HTML: headings, lists, tables, form labels, native buttons and native disclosure menus. It should work with current versions of the major browsers and with assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers and voice control software.

The site has no video, audio or PDF files, so there are no captions, transcripts or document formats to worry about. We have not tested every combination of browser and assistive technology. If something does not work with yours, please tell us which one you use.

During development we use new pages with a keyboard alone, checking that every link, menu and control can be reached and used and that focus stays visible.

An automated check also runs over the built site before we publish. Among other things, it confirms that each page has exactly one H1 heading, a breadcrumb trail that matches the site structure, and link text that names the page it points to.

If you cannot use part of LSATScoreConverter.com, or something is harder than it should be, email hello@lsatscoreconverter.com. It helps if you include:

• the address of the page
• what you were trying to do and what happened instead
• your browser and device, and any assistive technology you use
