An LSAT score calculator estimates your scaled 120 to 180 score from the number of questions you answer correctly on a practice test, using a representative conversion curve. Use it to track progress, but treat it as an estimate since each official test is curved separately by LSAC.

An LSAT score calculator converts a raw score, the number of questions you answered correctly on a practice test, into an estimated scaled score on the 120 to 180 scale. It saves you from reading a conversion table by hand and gives you a quick sense of where you stand. Some calculators also estimate the percentile that goes with the scaled score, so you can see your standing among test-takers.
The calculator applies a conversion curve, ideally one drawn from a recent official form, to translate your raw total into a scaled score. Because the relationship is steepest in the middle, one extra correct answer can shift your estimate more near 150 than near the extremes. The table shows the kind of mapping a calculator uses, with each raw band verified against a recent official form.

An LSAT score calculator is only as accurate as the conversion curve behind it, so a tool built on a generic or outdated curve can be off by several points. The most reliable estimate comes from using the actual conversion table printed with the PrepTest you took. No calculator can perfectly predict an official score, because LSAC equates each real test separately and test-day performance varies.
Use an LSAT score calculator after every practice test to track your scaled score over time rather than raw counts, which are hard to compare across forms. Lovare offers a free LSAT score calculator, and other prep providers such as 7Sage publish their own; any of them works as long as it uses a sound conversion curve. Compare your estimated score against the medians your target schools report in their ABA 509 data.
A good LSAT score is one at or above the median LSAT of your target schools. Each ABA-approved law school lists its median in its Standard 509 report, so the same score can be strong at one school and below median at a more selective one. 120 to 180. A calculator helps you compare your estimate to those medians.
The average scaled LSAT score sits a little below the middle of the 120 to 180 range, since the test is centered so most people score near the middle. The exact mean changes slightly each testing year. the low-to-mid 150s (LSAC does not publish a single headline average; the median falls near 152 on the percentile tables). A score calculator can show whether your practice results are landing above or below that average.
The LSAT is scored on a 120 to 180 scale. Each correct answer earns a raw point, wrong answers are not penalized, and LSAC converts your raw total into a scaled score using the curve for that form. Since August 2024 the scored sections are two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension, plus an unscored variable section, after Logic Games were retired.
LSAT score calculators are reasonably accurate when they use a recent official conversion curve, but they only estimate your score. The real curve is set by LSAC for each form through equating, so your official result can differ from any calculator's output. For the closest estimate, score practice tests with the conversion table printed with that specific PrepTest rather than a generic tool.
