LSAT Score Calculator
Estimate your LSAT score (120–180) from your raw score.
All scored sections combined
This is an estimate, not an official score. Official LSAC conversion tables vary by test — the same number of correct answers can convert to slightly different scaled scores on different test administrations. Use this to gauge your practice-test performance, and check your official score report for the real number.
What is an LSAT score calculator?
An LSAT score calculator estimates your LSAT score from your practice-test answers: the scaled score runs from 120 to 180, based on how many questions you answered correctly across all scored sections. Add up your correct answers and total questions from every scored section, enter both numbers, and the calculator scales the result to the 120–180 range.
The estimator uses a simple linear scale: 120 + 60 × (correct ÷ total), rounded to the nearest whole number. All correct gives 180, none correct gives 120, and half correct gives 150. Real LSAC tables are not perfectly linear — they adjust for the difficulty of each test form — so treat the result as a close guide to your practice performance, not a prediction of your official score. The interpretation band shown with your result is a rough guide only.
The LSAT is scored very differently from school exams: there is no penalty for wrong answers, so on test day you should answer every question. Your LSAT score is one part of a law school application, alongside your undergraduate GPA — to see where your grades stand, try the GPA calculator.
How the LSAT score estimator works
Correct answers become a score from 120 to 180. Enter how many questions you got right out of the total across your scored sections. The estimate is 120 + 60 x (correct / total), rounded to the nearest whole number: every question right is 180, half right is about 150, none right is 120.
This is an estimate: the LSAC's real conversion tables change from test to test, so the same raw score can give a slightly different scaled score on different dates. Use it to track your practice-test progress, not as a prediction of your official score.

How to use the LSAT score calculator
- Add up your correct answers across all scored sections of your practice test (Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension).
- Add up the total questions across those same scored sections — do not include any unscored experimental section.
- Press Estimate my LSAT score to see your estimated scaled score (120–180) and a rough interpretation band.
- Compare the result with your target law schools' score ranges, and remember it is an estimate — official tables vary by test.
Frequently asked questions
How is the LSAT scored?
Your raw score is the number of questions you answer correctly across all scored sections. That raw score is converted to a scaled score from 120 to 180 using a conversion table for that test administration. There is no penalty for wrong answers.
Is this an official LSAT score?
No. This is an estimate using a simple linear scale. Official LSAC conversion tables vary by test and question difficulty, so the same raw score can convert slightly differently on different tests.
What is a good LSAT score?
It depends on the law schools you are applying to. The median is around 151; scores of 160 and above are strong, and 170 and above are competitive at the most selective law schools. Check each school's published score range for its admitted students.
Should I guess on questions I do not know?
Yes. There is no penalty for a wrong answer on the LSAT, so an unanswered question is a guaranteed miss while a guess has a chance of being right. Answer every question.
How many questions are on the LSAT?
The current LSAT has two scored Logical Reasoning sections and one scored Reading Comprehension section, plus one unscored experimental section. The total number of scored questions is usually around 75–76, but it can differ on practice tests — that is why this calculator asks you to enter your own total.
Can I improve my LSAT score by retaking it?
Often, yes — many students improve after focused practice on their weakest section type. Law schools generally consider your highest score, though some look at all attempts, so prepare well before each sitting.
