Every question you get wrong or leave blank earns zero. All questions are weighted equally \u2014 a hard question is worth the same as an easy one. The total number correct is your <strong>raw score<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Convert raw to scaled.<\/strong> LSAC converts your raw score to a <strong>scaled score between 120 and 180<\/strong> using a statistical process called equating. This adjusts for slight differences in difficulty between test forms, so a 165 on one LSAT represents the same ability level as a 165 on any other LSAT.<\/p>\n<p>This is why you&#8217;ll see slightly different conversion tables for different PrepTests. <strong>The equating process ensures fairness<\/strong> \u2014 a harder test has a marginally more generous curve, and an easier test a marginally stricter one. In practice, the difference is small: typically 2-3 questions for any given target score across modern PrepTests.<\/p>\n<p>The key takeaway: <strong>your score depends only on how many questions you get right.<\/strong> Not which questions, not which section, and not how confident you were. Just the total number correct.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-2024-lsat-format-change\" style=\"color: #4D2079;\">The 2024 LSAT Format Change<\/h2>\n<p>In August 2024, LSAC removed the Logic Games (Analytical Reasoning) section from the LSAT and replaced it with a second Logical Reasoning section. <strong>The scoring scale (120-180) did not change<\/strong>, but the test structure did:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>Before August 2024<\/th>\n<th>August 2024 and after<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Scored sections<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2 LR + 1 RC + 1 Logic Games<\/td>\n<td>2 LR + 1 RC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\">\n<td><strong>Scored questions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>~100-103<\/td>\n<td>~75-78<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Score scale<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>120-180<\/td>\n<td>120-180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>For the vast majority of current students, this doesn&#8217;t require any action.<\/strong> LSAC&#8217;s official prep platform, LawHub, provides PrepTests 101 and above \u2014 all of which reflect the current 3-section format. The conversion table at the top of this page applies to these tests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about older PrepTests?<\/strong> PrepTests 1-80 were administered under the old format and include a Logic Games section. The LSAT prep community still uses these for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension section practice \u2014 both of which remain on the current LSAT. But you <strong>cannot use an old PrepTest as a full simulated exam<\/strong> and apply a current-format conversion table to your score. The tests have roughly 100+ questions across four sections; the current format has ~77 across three. The scores aren&#8217;t comparable.<\/p>\n<p>If you encounter an old PrepTest, use it for targeted LR and RC section practice. For full timed practice tests that reflect the actual LSAT, use PrepTests 101+ on LawHub.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to find PrepTest-specific conversion charts:<\/strong> For the 2024 LSAT update, LSAC reorganized sections of existing PrepTests into new PrepTests starting at 101. For example, the scored sections of PrepTest 101 are the same as what&#8217;s on PrepTest 24. LSAC released individual conversion charts for each of these new PrepTests.

This is your scaled score, which is what law schools see. Your raw score (total correct answers) is converted to this 120-180 scale using LSAC&#8217;s equating process.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the highest LSAT score?<\/h3>\n<p>The highest possible LSAT score is <strong>180<\/strong>. Fewer than 0.1% of test-takers achieve a perfect score. For context, a 175+ puts you in the 99th percentile and makes you competitive at every law school in the country.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the LSAT curved?<\/h3>\n<p>Not in the traditional sense. LSAC uses a process called <strong>equating<\/strong> (not curving) to convert raw scores to scaled scores. Unlike a curve, your score doesn&#8217;t depend on how other people performed on the same test date. It&#8217;s based entirely on how many questions you got right, adjusted for the difficulty of that specific test form.<\/p>\n<h3>Did the 2024 LSAT changes affect scoring?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The scoring scale (120-180) did not change.<\/strong> Logic Games was removed and replaced with a second Logical Reasoning section. The conversion table above reflects the current format. See <a href=\"#the-2024-lsat-format-change\">The 2024 LSAT Format Change<\/a> for more detail on using older PrepTests.<\/p>\n<h3>How many times can I take the LSAT?<\/h3>\n<p>You can take the LSAT up to <strong>five times within the current and five prior testing years<\/strong>, and <strong>seven times total over a lifetime<\/strong>. There is no longer a limit on how many times you can take it in a single year \u2014 LSAC removed that restriction in 2023. All scores are reported to law schools, though many schools focus on your highest score.<\/p>\n<h3>When are LSAT scores released?<\/h3>\n<p>LSAT scores are typically released <strong>18-21 days after your test date.<\/strong> If you signed up for Score Preview (available for an additional fee), you&#8217;ll see your score during that window and have six calendar days to decide whether to keep it \u2014 meaning it gets reported to law schools \u2014 or cancel it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convert your LSAT raw score to a scaled score (120-180) with our conversion table.
