An LSAT score table lays out the 120 to 180 scale alongside the raw score (questions correct) and the percentile each scaled score represents. It shows at a glance how many correct answers and what national standing a score reflects. The raw and percentile figures shift slightly over time. not published by LSAC as a fixed table (each form is equated separately).

An LSAT score table brings together three columns tied to the 120 to 180 scale: the scaled score, the raw score (the number of questions answered correctly) behind it, and the percentile rank showing where that score falls among test-takers. The scaled score and percentile are what appear on your official report, while the raw score explains how the scaled score was earned. Reading all three together gives a fuller picture than any one number alone.
A complete LSAT score table runs every scaled point from 120 to 180 with its matching raw and percentile values. The condensed version below shows the pattern at key milestones, with each live figure verified against a recent official form and the current LSAC percentile table.
The current ranking is best read directly from the source. See the U.S. News Best Law Schools list for the up-to-date order, and each school's ABA Standard 509 report for its median LSAT, GPA, and acceptance rate.
The raw column of an LSAT score table changes with every form, because LSAC equates each test to the same scale and adjusts the curve to difficulty. The percentile column updates as well, since LSAC recomputes percentiles across the three most recent testing years. The scaled range itself, 120 to 180, is fixed and has not changed, so only the raw and percentile figures need periodic verification.
Use an LSAT score table to translate a practice raw score into the scaled score and percentile that law schools recognize, so your progress is measured in meaningful terms. Match the table to the specific form you took for the raw column, and check the current LSAC percentile table for standing. Then compare your percentile and scaled score against the medians your target schools publish in their ABA 509 reports.
A good LSAT score is one that reaches or beats the median LSAT at your target schools. Because each ABA-approved law school reports its median in its Standard 509 data, the same score can be strong at one school and weak at another. 120 to 180. On a score table, aim for a row at or above each school's median.
The average scaled LSAT score sits slightly below the middle of the 120 to 180 range, because the test is centered so most people score near the middle. The precise mean changes a little 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). On a score table, the average lands near the center rows, close to the 50th percentile.
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 the raw total to a scaled score, then assigns a percentile from its published table. Since August 2024 the scored sections are two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension, plus an unscored variable section, after Logic Games were retired.
The percentile matched to each LSAT score is the share of recent test-takers who scored at or below it, published by LSAC across the three most recent testing years. Mid-range scores sit near the 50th percentile, and the curve climbs steeply toward the top of the scale. the LSAC percentile tables (for example a 150 is about the 37th percentile, 160 the 71st, 165 the 85th, and 170 the 94th) provides the exact figures for a score table.
