The lsat demon score converter turns a PrepTest raw score into a scaled 120 to 180 score using LSAC's table for that test, normalising to percent correct first so a four-section PrepTest maps onto the current three-section format. LSAT Demon publishes the method and no accuracy figure.
The LSAT Demon score converter turns a raw score, meaning the number of questions you answered correctly on a PrepTest, into a scaled score on the 120 to 180 LSAT scale. It is not a percentile tool. Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon's own wording on the tool page is that your raw score, the number of questions you answered correctly, is converted to an LSAT score of 120 to 180 using a conversion table from LSAC (https://lsatdemon.com/converter). Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon's homepage describes the same tool as converting your results from any PrepTest to a score on the modern LSAT (https://lsatdemon.com/). Verified July 2026.
No percentile output is documented anywhere on the LSAT Demon converter page, so if you want to know what share of test takers you beat, this is not the tool for it. Verified July 2026.
The percent-correct step is the load-bearing part of the LSAT Demon method, and LSAT Demon publishes it. The converter normalises your raw score to a percentage first, then reads that percentage off the source test's table, and the problem that step solves is a real one. Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon states the two steps directly: to get your LSAT score for the new test format, it first converts your raw score to a percentage, then matches that percentage with an LSAT score on the conversion table for that test (https://lsatdemon.com/converter). Verified July 2026.
The problem that step solves is a real one. LSAT Demon documents the format history on the same page: four graded sections for decades, one Logical Reasoning section dropped in 2020, and in August 2024 that section added back and Logic Games dropped (https://lsatdemon.com/converter). Verified July 2026.
So an older PrepTest has four scored sections and the current LSAT has three scored sections plus one unscored experimental section. Percent-correct is a defensible bridge between the two, and LSAT Demon deserves credit for publishing the method. Verified July 2026.
Yes. LSAT Demon says the converter uses a conversion table from LSAC, and specifically the table for the individual test rather than one universal table, and lSAT Demon's phrasing is that your raw score is converted using a conversion table from LSAC, and later, the conversion table for that test. Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon's phrasing is that your raw score is converted using a conversion table from LSAC, and later, the conversion table for that test (https://lsatdemon.com/converter). Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon also explains why the tables differ: score conversions vary from test to test because the difficulty of each test varies, and the tables help standardise scores so that a 170 on an easier test represents the same skill level as a 170 on a harder one (https://lsatdemon.com/converter). Verified July 2026.
What LSAT Demon does not publish is which PrepTests or test forms the converter covers. There is no coverage list and no statement of which editions the tables were taken from, so you cannot check in advance whether your PrepTest is supported. Verified July 2026.
LSAC equates each administration so that a given scaled score means the same proficiency whichever form you sat. That is why a per-test table exists and why no universal raw-to-scaled table can, and the consequence is documented by prep publishers who compile the tables. Verified July 2026.
LSAC's guidance is that a statistical process called equating is used to ensure a given score, for example 160, represents the same proficiency regardless of the version of the test taken (https://www.lawhub.org/prepare-for-the-lsat/lsat-scoring). Verified July 2026.
LSAC's interpretive guide puts the same point as a definition: when scores are equated, a given scaled score represents comparable ability regardless of the administration in which it is obtained (https://www.lsac.org/lsat-interpretive-guide/2019-2020). Verified July 2026.
The consequence is documented by prep publishers who compile the tables. Cambridge LSAT states that each PrepTest has its own individual conversion for obtaining a scaled score from the raw number of correct answers (https://www.cambridgelsat.com/resources/data/consolidated-score-conversion-charts/), and PowerScore notes the chart varies slightly each test to account for subtle differences in exam difficulty (https://help.powerscore.com/lsat/help/LSAT-raw-score-conversion.cfm). Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon publishes no accuracy figure for the score converter and no disclaimer on the tool page. The error is bounded by facts LSAC and prep publishers do publish, so it can be described even though LSAT Demon has not measured it. Verified July 2026.
We checked the LSAT Demon converter page in July 2026 and found no error bar, no comparison against scored administrations and no caveat text (https://lsatdemon.com/converter). Verified July 2026.
The variation across published tables is small but real. Prep publishers who compile the full archive report roughly a two to three question spread for a given scaled score across historical tests (https://www.cambridgelsat.com/resources/data/consolidated-score-conversion-charts/), which is one to two scaled points at the margin. Verified July 2026.
The percent-correct step is the unmeasured part. Mapping a three-section raw total onto a table built for a four-section test is a reasonable approximation, LSAC has never published a procedure for it, and LSAT Demon publishes no validation of it. Verified July 2026.
Even a real LSAT score is an estimate with a published error term, so a converted practice score inherits that floor before any conversion error is added. LSAC publishes the measurement error itself, and lSAC's interpretive guide states that the standard error of measurement is very stable and tends to be about 2.6 scaled score points. Verified July 2026.

LSAC's interpretive guide states that the standard error of measurement is very stable and tends to be about 2.6 scaled score points (https://www.lsac.org/lsat-interpretive-guide/2019-2020). Verified July 2026.
LSAC's own worked example is that the score band for an LSAT score of 150 runs from 147 to 153, and that adding and subtracting one standard error contains the true score about 68 percent of the time (https://www.lsac.org/lsat-interpretive-guide/2019-2020). Verified July 2026.
LSAC states the underlying point plainly: LSAT scores are estimates of a test taker's actual proficiency, and the estimate provided by a given score is not perfect (https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-scoring/lsat-score-bands). Verified July 2026.
Read a converted practice score as a band rather than a point, and a two-point movement between practice tests as noise until it repeats. Verified July 2026.
Yes. The LSAT Demon score converter is free with no paywall and no login gate on the tool page, which is worth saying on a page that also names its limits, and lSAT Demon lists the score converter among its free tools alongside the scholarship estimator and school rankings. Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon lists the score converter among its free tools alongside the scholarship estimator and school rankings (https://lsatdemon.com/). Verified July 2026.
The converter page itself shows only start for free and log in controls, with no paid gate on the tool (https://lsatdemon.com/converter). Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon's paid plans are separate and are not required for the converter. Its published tiers are Essential at $99 a month, Live at $179 a month and Pro at $499 a month (https://lsatdemon.com/plans/lsat). Verified July 2026.
The LSAT Demon score converter breaks in three specific places, and only the third is something LSAT Demon could fix by publishing more. The first two are limits of the underlying data, and second, the section bridge is unvalidated. Verified July 2026.
First, no universal table exists. Every scaled score the converter returns depends on which PrepTest's table it read, and LSAT Demon does not tell you which forms it holds, so two runs on different tests are not strictly comparable. Verified July 2026.
Second, the section bridge is unvalidated. Percent-correct normalisation across the four-section to three-section boundary is a modelling choice with no published procedure behind it and no measured error, at LSAT Demon or anywhere else. Verified July 2026.
Third, no disclaimer. A competing tool doing the same percent-correct conversion labels its output an estimate intended for practice planning rather than official reporting (https://www.lsatlab.com/lsat-score-converter), and LSAT Demon's page carries no equivalent line. Verified July 2026.
Competing converters bridge the same section-count gap in different directions, which is the clearest evidence that no settled method exists. Comparing them is more useful than trusting any one, and lSAT Hacks converts in the opposite direction, stating that its form will convert your three-section raw score to a four-section raw score before reading the table. Verified July 2026.
LSAT Hacks converts in the opposite direction, stating that its form will convert your three-section raw score to a four-section raw score before reading the table (https://lsathacks.com/converter/). Verified July 2026.
LSAT Lab uses the same percent-correct approach LSAT Demon uses and labels the output explicitly, saying score estimates vary because each official PrepTest has its own conversion table (https://www.lsatlab.com/lsat-score-converter). Verified July 2026.
If two reputable tools bridge the same gap in opposite directions and neither publishes a validation, the honest read is that a converted score is accurate to a couple of points and should never be treated as a scored result. Verified July 2026.
Lovare Institut builds Lovare's own practice scoring inside the Diagnostic, which competes directly with LSAT Demon. We are telling you that before the comparison rather than after it, because a review that hides its own interest is worth nothing. Verified July 2026.
The practical effect on this page is that we have described LSAT Demon's methodology from LSAT Demon's own published material and quoted it, rather than characterising it in our words.
Where we say LSAT Demon does not publish something, that is a statement about what we could find on its own site in July 2026, and it is checkable. Where we prefer our own approach we say why, in terms you can test against both tools.
Lovare scores a practice test as a band rather than a point, which is the only difference that matters between the two approaches. The LSAT Demon score converter is free, publishes its method, and that method is sound, so this is a presentation disagreement rather than a methodological one. Verified July 2026.
Lovare applies LSAC's own published standard error of about 2.6 scaled points to every practice result and reports the band rather than the midpoint (https://www.lsac.org/lsat-interpretive-guide/2019-2020), because a point estimate invites people to chase noise. Verified July 2026.
Lovare also records which PrepTest a score came from and shows it beside the result, so a run of practice scores is comparable to itself. That is a bookkeeping difference rather than a methodological breakthrough, and it costs nothing to do. Verified July 2026.
Our recommendation is unambiguous: use the LSAT Demon score converter, because it is free, it publishes its method and its method is sound. Then read its output as a band, which is the one thing its page does not tell you to do. Verified July 2026.
Every figure on this LSAT Demon score converter page carries a Verified July 2026 stamp because a dated stamp is the only honest way to publish a number that moves. Each source below was retrieved in July 2026 and is linked in full rather than named vaguely, so nothing here is modelled, averaged or inferred.

It converts a raw score, the number of questions answered correctly on a PrepTest, into a scaled 120 to 180 LSAT score using LSAC's conversion table for that specific test. It does not output a percentile. Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon converts your raw score to a percentage first, then matches that percentage to a score on that test's LSAC conversion table. LSAT Demon publishes this method on the tool page. Verified July 2026.
LSAT Demon publishes no accuracy figure. Published table variation across the historical archive is roughly two to three questions for a given scaled score, and LSAC's own standard error is about 2.6 scaled points. Verified July 2026.
No. LSAC equates each administration separately and publishes tables only with individual Official LSAT PrepTests, so every test has its own conversion. Verified July 2026.
Yes, with no paywall on the tool page. LSAT Demon's separate paid plans are Essential $99 a month, Live $179 a month and Pro $499 a month. Verified July 2026.
A converted practice score is a band, not a result. Where your band actually puts you against real school data is the question worth answering next. The Lovare Diagnostic takes about fifteen minutes and returns your own numbers against published school data rather than a single probability, and it is free.
