LSAT Raw Score Conversion Chart

Updated Sources: LSAC

Quick answer: Your raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly, out of 77 on LSAC's April 2025 test. On that official conversion, a raw 60 converts to 162 (beats 77.2% of scores), a raw 56–57 converts to 160, and 76–77 correct scores 180.

Key takeaways

  • LSAC's April 2025 test scored 77 questions: two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section
  • Every question is worth one raw point, and there is no penalty for wrong answers
  • LSAC equates each test form separately, so other forms convert slightly differently
  • A 170 took 69 correct (miss 8); a 160 took 56–57 correct (miss up to 21)
  • This form skips 8 scaled scores, and 10 scores come from two raw scores each
  • Percentiles are LSAC's 2023–2026 table: the share of scores lower than each score

These are minimums for one form. A harder form can need slightly fewer correct answers for the same target, and an easier one slightly more, so leave yourself a margin.

How the conversion works

LSAC does not curve the LSAT against the people who sit it on a given day. Every form is equated: LSAC statistically links its difficulty to earlier forms so that a scaled score means the same proficiency on every test. That is why each form has its own chart. For the full process, read How Is the LSAT Scored?.

LSAC states there is no deduction for incorrect answers and that all questions are weighted the same. A blank and a wrong answer both earn zero raw points, so answer every question.

Worked example: 60 correct answers

  1. Count your correct answers60 of 77
  2. Find that row in the chart162

    raw 60 → scaled 162

  3. Read the percentile77.2%

Scores this form skips or repeats

The scale has 61 scores and the April 2025 form has 78 raw scores, but they do not pair up one to one. No raw score on this form gives 121, 123, 124, 126, 128, 174, 177 or 179. Near the top, one extra correct answer can move you two points.

Other scores come from more than one raw score. Every raw score from 0 to 15 gives 120, and 10 scores come from two raw scores each:

Scaled score to percentile: full table

A percentile is the share of LSAT scores that were lower than yours in the previous 3 testing years. This is LSAC's 2023–2026 table, which LSAC updates by the end of July each year. For the score at each milestone, see LSAT Percentiles.

Using this chart for other LSAT forms

The April 2025 test is the only form in the current format that LSAC has released with its conversion. Its other tests in this format are non-disclosed: you see your score and percentile, but not the chart behind them.

LSAC's technical report puts current Logical Reasoning sections at 25 to 26 questions and Reading Comprehension at 27, so about 77 to 79 scored questions. It also notes that raw scores are not directly comparable across forms, so treat this chart as a close guide.

Frequently asked questions

On LSAC's April 2025 test, a 170 took 69 correct answers out of 77, so you could miss 8 questions, about 2.7 per scored section. A 170 beats 94.5% of LSAT scores. Other forms convert slightly differently, so leave a small margin.

On LSAC's April 2025 test, a 160 took 56–57 correct answers out of 77. At 56 correct you could miss 21 questions. A 160 beats 71.1% of LSAT scores in LSAC's 2023–2026 percentile table. Read more: Is 160 a Good LSAT Score?

No. LSAC builds a separate conversion for each test form through statistical equating, so the same scaled score can need slightly more or fewer correct answers depending on how hard or easy the form is. Read more: How Is the LSAT Scored?

On LSAC's April 2025 test, a raw score of 76–77 out of 77 converted to a perfect 180, so you could miss 1 question and still score 180. One more miss gave 178, since no raw score on this form gives 179.

No. LSAC says there is no deduction for incorrect answers, and every question is weighted the same. Your raw score is your number of correct answers, so a guess can only help. A blank and a wrong answer both earn zero raw points.

It is the share of LSAT scores that were lower than that score in LSAC's 2023–2026 table. It is not the share of questions you got right. For example, a 160 beats 71.1% of scores and a 170 beats 94.5%. Read more: LSAT Percentiles.
