Editorial Policy

This policy covers everything we publish: the LSAT Score Converter, the score calculator and every guide on the site. All of it is about one subject: what LSAT scores mean, from raw score to scaled score to percentile, and how scores relate to law school admission.

We do not publish news, guest posts, sponsored articles, user reviews or comments. Every page is written and maintained by LSATScoreConverter.com.

Every LSAT figure on the site comes from the organization that produces it. Scoring rules, conversion tables and percentile tables come from the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), which writes and administers the test. Law school admission medians come from the American Bar Association's Standard 509 disclosures, which every ABA-approved law school must file.

We do not take figures from test prep companies, forums, news articles or other secondary summaries, even when they quote LSAC. If we cannot trace a number back to LSAC or the ABA, we leave it out.

Each figure is stored once in the site's data files, next to a note of where it came from. Pages draw their numbers from those files rather than retyping them, and each guide lists the sources it relies on with a link to the original.

Some numbers on the site are not published by LSAC or the ABA directly. We work them out from their data: for example, the median score in LSAC's percentile table, the share of scores between two points, or the typical median across ABA law schools. Wherever a page shows one of these, it says the figure is our calculation, so you can tell our arithmetic apart from LSAC's own numbers.

The converter and calculator follow the same rule. They use LSAC's released April 2025 conversion table. Other test forms convert slightly differently, so a converted score is an estimate for guidance, not an official result. How each tool works, and where each figure comes from, is set out in our Methodology and Sources.

We use LSAC's definition: a percentile is the share of scores in LSAC's current table that were lower than yours. For a 160 we write "higher than 71.1% of scores", not "better than 71.1% of test takers", because LSAC builds the table from tests rather than people. A person who took the LSAT twice in the window appears in it twice.

The site is free. It carries no advertising, no affiliate links, no sponsored content and no paid products. No one pays us to recommend a school, a prep course or a book, and no outside party reviews or approves our pages before they go live.

LSATScoreConverter.com is independent. LSAT and LSAC are registered trademarks of the Law School Admission Council, which is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, this site. We are not affiliated with the American Bar Association either.

If we ever add advertising or affiliate links, we will say so on this page and label them clearly where they appear.

Pages are drafted with the help of software tools, including AI writing tools. Those tools do not supply the facts. Every figure comes from the primary sources above, through the data files described in section 2.

Before a page is published or changed, two automated checks run:

• A data check compares the LSAC and ABA figures in our data files with the source notes we keep for them, and confirms the converter's tables are complete and consistent.
• A site check reads the built pages. It flags broken internal links, missing or mismatched structured data, and any figure typed directly into a page instead of drawn from the data files.

The site has no named author, reviewer or outside expert, and we do not claim one. We do not publish testimonials, ratings or endorsements. We would rather show no byline than invent one.

LSAC replaces its percentile table by the end of July each year. We refresh our percentiles after each release. The tables on the site now come from LSAC's July 2026 update.

We also update pages when LSAC changes how the test is scored or delivered, when law schools file new ABA disclosures, or when we find an error. Each page shows the date it was last updated, and our site check flags any page whose content changed without a new date.

If you think something on the site is wrong, email hello@lsatscoreconverter.com with the address of the page, what you think is wrong, and a link to the source that shows the right figure. A link to LSAC or the ABA helps us check it fastest.

We check every report against the primary source. If the page is wrong, we fix it and change its "Last updated" date. If the page is right, we keep it as it is. Advertisers and affiliates cannot influence a correction, because we have none.
