LSAT / Exact form, exact table
Count what scores.
Use the right scale.
Convert raw correct counts for a specific test form, inspect scoring plateaus, plan a target and keep percentile data in their own reference period.
A raw score needs its own form’s conversion table. The default is the April 2025 disclosed LSAT, Form LTDA03, with 77 scored questions. It is not a universal 2026 curve. A different test with 77 questions can still have a different scale; do not prorate another question total.
01 / Confirm identity before relying on a lookup
Choose the test form and table
Selected: April 2025 disclosed LSAT — LTDA03. 77 scored questions. LSAC disclosed-form table.
Unconfirmed calculations remain illustrative. CSV export and section-total transfer require this confirmation. Form/table or section edits reset it. Matching only the question count is insufficient.
02 / Integer counts; no interpolated scores
Raw correct answers to scaled LSAT score
Illustrative until you confirm form identity.
Selected-form scaled-score lookup
16563 correct. This table maps raw 63–64 to the same 165 scaled score. Not-correct count: 14. Raw percentage: 81.82%, distinct from percentile.
Separate LSAC percentile reference: 85.17% below 165 in 2023–2026 testing years. This pooled reference is not the score distribution of the selected test form or an admission probability.
03 / Three scored records, one excluded record
Build the raw count from scored sections
Correct answers contribute one raw point; wrong and unanswered contribute zero. There is no wrong-answer deduction. Mark exactly three records as scored, using the identified scored sections in your practice material. This page cannot identify an unknown experimental section from its position or difficulty.
Section record 1
20 correct + 3 wrong + 2 unanswered = 25 questions. Contribution: 20 raw points.
Section record 2
21 correct + 2 wrong + 2 unanswered = 25 questions. Contribution: 21 raw points.
Section record 3
22 correct + 4 wrong + 1 unanswered = 27 questions. Contribution: 22 raw points.
Section record 4
Excluded unscored record. Its saved counts are not validated or added to raw score.
Entered scored-section raw total
63 / 77Selected table gives scaled 165. Illustrative: exact form and scored-section identity still need your confirmation. LTDA03’s released section sizes are 25, 25 and 27; a different section-size set is rejected for that preset.
04 / Minimum attainable score meeting the target
How many correct answers reach a scaled-score target?
Minimum raw correct count under this table
69 / 77The first attainable scaled score meeting at least 170 is 170. Total not-correct budget: 8, covering wrong plus unanswered. Starting from your entered raw 63, the minimum additional correct count is 6.
This count target uses the selected form only. Missing scaled integers are skipped rather than interpolated; it does not predict another test’s table or future performance.
05 / Several raw counts on one selected scale
Compare practice-score scenarios
Each row uses the same selected table. Results from genuinely different forms should be converted with their own tables first. Do not confuse a pooled percentile reference with conversion-table equating.
Scenario 1
Selected-table scaled 165; raw plateau 63–64. Separate 2023–2026 testing years reference: 85.17% of scores below 165.
Scenario 2
Selected-table scaled 170; raw plateau 69–69. Separate 2023–2026 testing years reference: 94.48% of scores below 170.
06 / Independent historical reference
Look up percentile for an actual scaled score

Three examples that prevent common conversion mistakes
A plateau is intentional
LTDA03 assigns both 63 and 64 correct to 165. The raw percentage at 63 is about 81.82%, while the separate pooled percentile below 165 is 85.17%. Neither percentage defines the conversion curve.
A target can skip an integer
Raw 75 gives 178; raw 76 gives 180. Under this table, a target of at least 179 needs 76 correct. Interpolating 75.5 would create a fractional correct count and a score the form does not assign.
Unscored means zero contribution
The example ledger has scored correct counts 20, 21 and 22, totaling 63. An unscored record is excluded entirely. A wrong response in a scored section contributes zero rather than a penalty.
Form identity is more than length
Two tests can have the same scored question total and different equating tables. The 77-question LTDA03 table belongs to that released form. Use the matching LawHub or other official practice-material conversion chart for a different form.
Use this workflow for a practice record
- Identify the exact test number, administration and form.
- Find its own conversion chart and scored answer key.
- Exclude the unscored section according to that material, without guessing from order.
- Count all scored correct responses, retaining wrong and blank counts separately.
- Convert the whole raw count through the matching table.
- Read the percentile’s reference period separately and use the official LSAC score report for applications.
The tool does not provide a psychometric score band, cross-form uncertainty range, guaranteed improvement rate or admissions model. A practice conversion and an official reported result serve different purposes.
LSAT raw-score conversion FAQs
Is one raw-to-scaled LSAT table valid for every test?
No. Use the table for the exact test form. This page includes LSAC’s April 2025 disclosed form LTDA03, with 77 scored questions. It can also validate a complete user-provided table, which remains unverified. Matching question totals alone does not establish form identity.
What is an LSAT raw score?
It is the number of scored questions answered correctly. Each question has the same weight, with no deduction for wrong answers. Wrong and blank questions both contribute zero correct points. The unscored section does not count in the raw total.
What sections does LTDA03 contain?
The released April 2025 booklet contains two 25-question Logical Reasoning sections and one 27-question Reading Comprehension section, totaling 77 scored questions. Its published conversion table is on PDF page 30. The section ledger does not determine an unknown live exam’s unscored section.
Why do 63 and 64 correct both give 165?
Those are two raw counts assigned the same scaled score by the LTDA03 table. Equating is not a proportional conversion. Several raw values can share a scaled score, while some scaled integers are absent from this form’s table.
Can a skipped scaled score be interpolated?
No. LTDA03 maps raw 75 to 178 and raw 76 to 180. It does not assign a raw count to 179. A target of at least 179 therefore requires the first attainable value of 180, at raw 76, under that specific table.
Does raw percentage equal percentile?
No. Raw percentage is correct questions divided by the scored question count. The separate LSAC percentile reference reports the proportion of test scores lower than a scaled score during the 2023–2026 testing years. It is neither percentage correct nor the distribution of this one released form.
Which percentile data are shown?
The page uses the hundredths column of LSAC’s 2023–2026 testing-year table, covering 2023–2024, 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. The percentile data have a different reference period from the April 2025 conversion form; both are labelled separately.
How do I add a table for another official practice test?
Select a user-provided table, enter its exact test/form/source label, and paste raw,scaled pairs for every raw integer from zero through the form maximum. The supported range is at most 120 scored questions, with 120 at raw zero and 180 at the maximum. There must be no duplicates, gaps or decreasing scaled scores. Validation checks structure, not authenticity.
What if I do not know which section was unscored?
Do not infer it from order, difficulty or a label generated here. Use the scored sections identified by your practice material and matching answer key. Exactly three records must be marked scored in the ledger, with one excluded record. Unknown scored status prevents a reliable raw total.
Can this estimate my actual test-day score or an admission chance?
No. A selected form’s table converts the raw count for that form; it does not predict a different live exam’s scale, future performance or admission probability. Use your official LSAC score report for applications.
What does the target planner tell me?
It finds the minimum raw correct count achieving at least your chosen scaled target in the selected table, the attainable scaled value and the remaining not-correct budget. It is a count target under that table, not a guarantee of performance or a recommended guessing strategy.
Are my responses uploaded or saved?
Entries and pasted table text stay in page memory and reset on reload; usual site analytics apply. CSV export requires your confirmation that the exact form/table matches. The calculator does not request an LSAC account login or upload answer sheets.
