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, but don’t take LG. So just do LR1, LR2, RC
- Enter your scores for each section above
- 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
Hopefully LSAC will release an official conversion scale, but for now this should be accurate.
FAQ
Why is there a field for logic games if I’m not taking it?
Each preptest from 1-89 has a different number of questions. Some have 100, some have 101. Most LG sections had 23 questions, but some early preptests have a different number.
With this calculator we’re going to take your percentage correct on the questions you did, and convert it to a number of correct questions if you had done the full test. To do this, we need the correct number of questions for each section from that test. So if you’re using an old PT which didn’t have a 23 Q logic games section, you’ll need to adjust the total. Even though you aren’t taking LG.
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.
