LSAT Scaled Score Formula:
From: | To: |
The LSAT Demon Raw Score Calculator estimates your LSAT scaled score from raw correct answers and number of sections. This provides an approximate conversion to help you understand your performance on practice tests.
The calculator uses the LSAT scaled score formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula provides an estimate of your LSAT scaled score based on your raw performance across multiple sections.
Details: The LSAT scaled score is crucial for law school admissions, as it standardizes performance across different test versions and provides a consistent metric for comparison between candidates.
Tips: Enter your raw score (number of correct answers) and the number of sections completed. Both values must be valid (raw score ≥ 0, sections ≥ 1).
Q1: How accurate is this calculator?
A: This provides an approximate scaled score. Actual LSAT scaling may vary slightly based on test difficulty and other factors.
Q2: What is a good LSAT scaled score?
A: Scores range from 120-180. Top law schools typically look for scores above 170, while mid-tier schools may accept scores in the 150-160 range.
Q3: How many sections are on the actual LSAT?
A: The standard LSAT has 4 scored multiple-choice sections plus an unscored experimental section and writing sample.
Q4: Can I use this for official score prediction?
A: This is best used for practice test estimation. Official scores are determined by LSAC's specific scaling process.
Q5: How does raw score affect my scaled score?
A: Higher raw scores translate to higher scaled scores, but the relationship isn't perfectly linear due to test difficulty variations.
