Interesting facts
- Each of the 77 scored questions on the April 2025 form was worth one raw point, and no section gets extra weight.
- The unscored section can be Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension, and LSAC says it “can occur at any point in the test”.
- Missing one question per section (74 raw) converted to 176 on LSAC's April 2025 test.

How to use this calculator
This calculator works like the LSAT Score Converter, except that you enter a score for each section instead of one total. Type your correct answers per section into the three boxes above. The calculator adds them into a raw score out of 77 and converts it to the 120–180 scale.
Each box accepts up to the section size on LSAC's April 2025 form: 25, 25 and 27 questions. To see every raw score at once, use the LSAT Raw Score Conversion Chart.

Section structure of the current LSAT
The multiple-choice LSAT has 4 sections of 35 minutes each, with a 10-minute break after section 2. Only 3 are scored.
Sections on the current LSAT
| Section | Questions | Time | Scored? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logical Reasoning 1 | 25–26 | 35 min | Yes |
| Logical Reasoning 2 | 25–26 | 35 min | Yes |
| Reading Comprehension | 27 | 35 min | Yes |
| Unscored variable section | 25–27 | 35 min | No |
Logic Games (Analytical Reasoning) ended after the June 2024 test, so since August 2024 the scored sections are 2 Logical Reasoning and 1 Reading Comprehension. For how the raw total becomes a scaled score, see How Is the LSAT Scored?
Worked examples at common raw scores
Each row uses LSAC's April 2025 table and the share of scores lower in its 2023–2026 percentile table.
Raw scores converted on the April 2025 form
| Raw score | Questions missed | Scaled score | Scores lower |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 27 | 155 | 54.0% |
| 55 | 22 | 159 | 67.9% |
| 60 | 17 | 162 | 77.2% |
| 65 | 12 | 166 | 87.5% |
| 70 | 7 | 171 | 95.8% |
The steps are uneven. One extra question is often worth a full point, but two raw scores can share a scaled score: raw 49 and 50 both converted to 155.
Questions you can miss for each target score
Work back from a goal. Each row gives the fewest correct answers that reached the target on the April 2025 form, the questions you could miss out of 77, and the average per scored section.
Questions you can miss for each target (April 2025 form)
| Target | Fewest correct | Questions you can miss | Average misses per section |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | 42 | 35 | 11.7 |
| 155 | 49 | 28 | 9.3 |
| 160 | 56 | 21 | 7.0 |
| 165 | 63 | 14 | 4.7 |
| 170 | 69 | 8 | 2.7 |
A 150 allowed 35 misses, a 160 allowed 21 and a 170 only 8, about 2.7 per section. Averages hide where you lose points, so use the per-section inputs to see which section to practise.
What the calculator counts
Only the 3 scored sections count. Each correct answer is one raw point, and LSAC makes no deduction for incorrect answers, so a blank costs the same as a wrong answer.
- Counted: 2 Logical Reasoning sections and 1 Reading Comprehension section.
- Not counted: the unscored variable section. It can be Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension, and LSAC says it “enables LSAC to validate new test questions for future use”.
- Not counted: LSAT Argumentative Writing, a 50-minute essay that LSAC does not score.
If your practice test includes an unscored section, leave it out.
Why another test form can convert differently
LSAC builds a conversion table for each test form through a statistical process called equating. Its technical report explains that raw scores are not directly comparable across forms, because forms differ slightly in difficulty and number of questions.
The April 2025 form (LTDA03) is the only form in the current format that LSAC has disclosed with its conversion table, so every result here uses it. Some quirks come from that form's own table: no raw score on it produced 121, 123, 124, 126, 128, 174, 177 or 179. Another form can skip different scores.
Treat the result as an estimate
On your official test, the same raw score can convert to a slightly different scaled score.
Frequently asked questions
Enter your correct answers for each scored section: two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension. The calculator adds them into a raw score out of 77, converts it with LSAC's official April 2025 conversion table and shows your percentile.
LSAC's April 2025 test had 25 and 25 questions in its two Logical Reasoning sections and 27 in Reading Comprehension, 77 scored in total. LSAC's technical report puts current Logical Reasoning sections at 25 to 26 questions and Reading Comprehension at 27.
No. Every LSAT includes one unscored variable section. It can be Logical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension, and LSAC says it "can occur at any point in the test." Only the three scored sections count toward your 120–180 score.
Each question counts the same. LSAC says all test questions are weighted exactly the same and there is no deduction for incorrect answers. No section gets extra weight, so a section's share of your raw score follows its question count (25, 25 and 27 on the April 2025 form). Read more: How Is the LSAT Scored?
It is the share of scores lower than yours in LSAC's 2023–2026 percentile table. A 160, for example, beat 71.1% of scores in that table. Read more: LSAT Percentiles.
No. LSAC describes LSAT Argumentative Writing as unscored, so the calculator leaves it out. LSAC still needs an approved writing sample on file before it releases your score to law schools.
