What Is an LSAT Raw Score?

Your LSAT raw score is the number of questions you got right on the scored sections. Each question counts the same and there is no deduction for wrong answers. LSAC converts it to a scaled score from 120 to 180, and that is the score law schools see.

The current LSAT has 77 scored questions: 50 in Logical Reasoning and 27 in Reading Comprehension.

Why Each Test Has Its Own Conversion

LSAC converts raw scores so results from different test dates can be compared. If a test runs a little harder, its chart is a bit more forgiving. See how the LSAT curve works. Official PrepTests come with their own charts, and LSAC offers four free through LawHub.

What About Pre-2024 PrepTests?

Older tests included Logic Games and had about 100 scored questions, so this chart does not fit them. Use the Pre-2024 option in the raw score calculator or the chart that came with your test.
