LSAT Raw Score Calculator
Select your test, enter correct answers per section, and instantly get your scaled LSAT score and percentile.
Your raw score = total correct answers across all scored sections. No penalty for wrong answers. LSAC converts your raw total to a scaled score (120–180) using a test-specific equating table.
The experimental section does not count toward your score — it is used by LSAC to calibrate future tests.
These conversions are estimates built from published charts, not official LSAC tables, and may differ by a point or two. Use this tool for practice test estimation.

What does your raw LSAT score turn into? Your raw score is simply the number of questions you got right. Wrong answers don't take points away, so answer every question. On today's LSAT, 77 questions count. Two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section. The unscored section and LSAT Writing don't count toward your score. Your raw score is then converted to the 120 to 180 scale. This is called equating. It keeps scores fair when one test is a little harder than another. Here's a typical chart. About 47 right gets you a 155. About 52 gets you a 160. About 60 gets you a 165. And about 66 gets you a 170. So you can miss 11 questions and still score around 170. Every test has its own chart, so these numbers can move by a point or so. Enter your correct answers for each section to see your scaled score and percentile. Took an older PrepTest?
