Your LSAT Score

Ah, what the LSAT really comes down to—your LSAT score. Yes, the unavoidable result of all your hard work and preparation. Make sure you understand the scoring process before you take the exam so you will know how to interpret your score. You don’t want to be staring at your LSAT score with a blank face or scrambling to understand exactly what that 161 means when you receive your score—“A 161 out of 1600?!. That’s a terrible SAT score”— This isn’t the SAT or ACT. It’s probably been at least four years since you took your last entrance exam, so make sure you know a little bit about how the LSAT works.

Your LSAT score is based on the number of questions answered correctly and is scored on a scale of 120 to 180, with the median score being a 150.

Along with your LSAT score, you will receive a percentile ranking. The average LSAT score, a 150, gives you a percentile of approximately 50. A small five point jump can bump you up to a percentile of as much as 20 points. Remember, you can make quite a few errors and still do very well on the test. A competitive score of 160, which would put you in approximately the 83rd percentile, allows you to miss about 28 out of the 101 questions.

Law schools use percentile rank to determine where your score places you in comparison to your competition. More than 50 percent of test takers receive scores between 145 and 159. The difference between the 50th and 75th percentiles is about three extra questions right per section. So, it is important to realize that only a couple questions can push you ahead of most of your competition. The difference between the 90th and 95th percentiles is less than two additional correct answers per section.

Of course, different law schools have different average scores, so check with your desired law schools to determine the approximate LSAT score you need to achieve.
