The current LSAT has three scored sections (LR, LG, RC). In August 2024 the LSAT is moving to drop LG and replace it with another LR section. The new test will have: LR1, LR, RC
Most LSAT practice material is in an old four section format (LG, LR1, LR2, RC). This calculator lets you take a test in the four section format and estimate your score on the new formats.
All you'll need is a four section LSAT Score (PTs 1-89) and the raw scale conversion chart for that preptest. When entering your scores, make sure to edit the # of questions per section to match the test you took.
1. Enter the number of correct answers for each section.
2. Choose the total number of questions for each section from the dropdown.
3. Click "Calculate Score" to see your results.
Calculating LSAT Scores Without Logic Games
LSAT Preptests 1-89 have four sections: LG, LR1, LR2, RC. To simulate taking an LSAT without Logic Games, you can use the form above.
- Take a preptest as you normally would. Taking LG is optional: You only need LR1, LR2, RC.
- Enter your scores for each section above. If you skipped LG leave it blank
- Change the total number of questions for each section (including LG) from that preptest to match the number of questions in the sections you did.
- The form will convert your three section raw score to a four section raw score.
- Each preptest had a raw score to scaled score conversion table. You can take this four section raw score to estimate what your score would have been on that test.
FAQ
I didn't take LG. Why is there a field for logic games?
The calculator uses the total number of questions in the preptest you took to generate an estimated raw score. So we need accurate totals for each section. Each preptest from 1-89 has a different number of questions.
Most LG sections have 23 questions. But a few tests differ. If your LG section had 22 or 24 questions (for example) please change the total to match. You can leave the number correct blank if you skipped the section.
Should I take the LSAT with logic games or without?
Depends when you are reading this. If you have more than three months before the April 2024 LSAT, I would recommend studying with logic games. It is the easiest section to improve. So if you are bad at it now, you have a lot of potential gains. It is much harder to max out LR and RC. Taking the LSAT with LG is the easiest path to a 170+, and it is going away.
That said, as we get closer to the removal date, you may not have enough time to study. It is common to need to take the LSAT more than once, so I’d recommend taking both April and June if you are taking with LG. If you do not have enough time for this, it is best to prep for the version without logic games.
Will the official LSAT without logic games only have three sections?
The new LSAT without logic games will have three scored sections: LR1, LR2, RC. There will also be a fourth experimental section which doesn’t count towards your score. This section can be either LR or RC. It can appear at any place. So you could, for example, have LR1, RC (exp), LR2, RC as your full test.
To simulate the four section test with experimental, you can take an LR or RC section from another test and add it in. Or, if you want to hedge your bets, you can take the test with LG – this will simulate the 4th section and give you study practice. Meanwhile you can use this calculator to estimate your score on the new format.
What is a raw score? What do I do with it?
Raw score = the number of questions you got right. The exam you took will have an official scoring scale to convert a raw score to a scaled score. The scaled score is the official score from 120-180.
The test you took may have a scoring scale. Unfortunately Lawhub doesn't include these. A future version of this calculator will include raw score calculations. But for now you can reference this chart from Powerscore to use the raw scores to estimate your scaled scores https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/LSAT-raw-score-conversion.cfm
