LSAT Score Calculator
LSAT raw correct to percent and missed, with scaled bands.
What it does
LSAT prep runs on raw counts long before scaled scores appear. Practice sets report correct out of total, and small accuracy shifts move bands a lot near the top. Scoring the raw first keeps drill review concrete.
The tool above counts correct with no penalty. An 85 of 100 practice set gives 85 percent with 15 missed, and the June 2007 form maps that raw to scaled 164. Percent guides study while the band table guides expectations.
Scaled scores run 120 to 180 through equating tables that differ by form. A raw 92 hits 170 on the reference form, while mid bands span pairs like 78 to 79 toward 160. Same raw can convert differently on a harder or easier administration.
Drill by question type once raw is stable. Games, reasoning, and reading miss in different patterns, so the missed count matters more than the percent alone.
How to use
- Enter correct answers.
- Enter total questions, usually 100.
- Read raw first.
- Read percent next.
- Read missed count.
- Convert raw with the band table.
Formula
- correct
- Questions answered correctly.
- total
- Questions on the counted sections.
- scaled
- Official 120 to 180 score from the form table.
LSAC defines raw as the count correct with equal weights and no deduction, then converts raw to a 120 to 180 scaled score per form. The June 2007 reference form maps bands such as 99 to 100 toward 180 and single raws like 92 toward 170. Percent here is a study aid, not the scaled score.
Worked example
Example: 85 of 100
Defaults: 85 correct of 100 total. These are also the default values, so the page opens on this answer.
- Correct: 85 of 100.
- Missed: 100 - 85 = 15.
- Percent: 85 / 100 x 100 = 85.0, shown as 85 %.
- Raw: 85 of 100.
- Band: the June 2007 form maps raw 85 to scaled 164.
- Tool shows 85 of 100 with 85 % and 15 missed.
Reference table
| Raw | Scaled | Below |
|---|---|---|
| 92 | 170 | 94.5% |
| 78 to 79 | 160 | 71.1% |
| 59 to 60 | 150 | 36.6% |
| 40 to 41 | 140 | 11.0% |
Limits
- Raw and percent only; scaled needs form tables.
- Bands differ by administration.
- Percent is not a percentile rank.
- Practice forms vary in difficulty.
Common mistakes
- Reading percent as a percentile.
- Applying one form table everywhere.
- Skipping blind review of missed.
- Counting experimental sections.
- Expecting official precision.

Questions
How is raw found?
Count correct answers with no penalty for wrong ones. Here 85 of 100 is 85 %.
Raw to scaled?
Look up raw in the form conversion table to a 120 to 180 scaled score; 85 maps to 164 on the June 2007 form.
Penalty for wrong answers?
No deduction, so guesses never hurt the raw count.
Same raw, different scaled?
Bands shift by form difficulty, which is why equating tables exist per administration.
Is this an official score?
No. This tool scores raw and percent; official scaled scores come from LSAC tables.
Are sections weighted?
All questions carry equal weight in the raw count.
