LSAT Score Calculator — Estimate an LSAT scaled score from correct answers, total scored questions, and a target score.
The LSAT scaled score ranges from 120 to 180. Because the exact conversion varies by test form, this calculator uses your percentage correct and a curved planning model.
Estimated score = 120 + 60 × (correct ÷ total)1.35, rounded to the nearest whole score.
With 58 correct answers out of 75 scored questions, the estimate is approximately 162. The actual official conversion may differ.
No. Use the conversion table provided with your specific practice test whenever available.
LSAC equates test forms to account for small differences in difficulty.
The writing sample is not included in the 120–180 scaled score.
The LSAT Score Calculator converts practice-test accuracy into a planning estimate on the 120–180 scale. Each LSAT administration can use a different raw-to-scaled conversion, so the estimate is most helpful for tracking progress when the official conversion table for a specific practice test is unavailable.
Enter only scored questions in the total. Then record the number answered correctly and compare the estimated scaled result with your target. For the most reliable trend, complete several full timed practice tests and use the official conversion table supplied with each test whenever one is available.
Test forms can differ slightly in difficulty. Equating is used so that scaled scores remain comparable across administrations. This means the same number of correct answers may not always convert to exactly the same scaled score. The curved model on this page provides a reasonable study estimate, but it cannot reproduce every official table.
For current test structure, registration details, and official policies, visit the LSAC LSAT website. You can plan preparation with the Study Schedule Calculator, allocate timed sections using the Exam Time Allocation Calculator, or compare another admissions exam with the GRE Score Calculator.
A negative target difference shows how many estimated scaled points remain between the practice result and your selected target. A positive value means the estimate is above the target. Use the gap to plan study priorities, but avoid treating it as a prediction of a future official score or admission result.
After each practice test, review missed question types and timing patterns. Track accuracy as well as the estimated score because a small raw-score change can convert differently on another form. The LSAT Score Calculator gives you a consistent way to visualize progress while keeping the test-specific nature of official conversions clear.
LSAT Score Calculator preparation checklist
Use the number of scored questions from one complete timed practice test and exclude any unscored material. Save the raw correct-answer count, estimated scaled result, target difference, and test date. Review missed question types and timing patterns before the next attempt. A trend across several tests is more useful than one isolated result and provides a stronger basis for adjusting study priorities.
Compare several saved practice results to identify consistent improvement, realistic score ranges, recurring mistakes, and sections where pacing changes may provide the greatest benefit.
Keep notes after every test so later calculations can be compared under similar timing and testing conditions.
