LSAT Raw Score Conversion Chart: How Many You Can Miss
On today's LSAT you can miss about 8 questions and still score a 170. Most raw score charts online are from the old 100-question test with Logic Games, and they make you think you have more room than you do. Below are real numbers from a current 3-section test, plus the old charts if you're working through older PrepTests.
Raw score conversion on the current LSAT
Since August 2024, the LSAT has 3 scored sections (2 Logical Reasoning, 1 Reading Comprehension), about 75 to 77 scored questions. This is the conversion table from the April 2025 LSAT, which had 77 scored questions. "Right" is the minimum number you need for that score.
| Score | Right | Missed |
|---|---|---|
| 180 | 76 | 1 |
| 175 | 73 | 4 |
| 170 | 69 | 8 |
| 165 | 63 | 14 |
| 160 | 56 | 21 |
| 155 | 49 | 28 |
| 150 | 42 | 35 |
| 145 | 36 | 41 |
| 140 | 30 | 47 |
Every test has its own table, so expect these numbers to move by a question or 2 from test to test. That's equating, not a curve. Your score doesn't depend on who else took the test that day. Here's how LSAC sets the table.
Notice how steep the top end is. Going from 165 to 170 means getting 6 more questions right. Going from 170 to 175 means 4 more, out of a test where you're already missing only 8. For how this has shifted over the years, see how many questions you can miss and still score 170 or 160.
Old charts: PrepTests 1 to 74 (pre-2024 format)
These charts are for the old 4-section test, which had about 100 scored questions and included Logic Games. Use them only to score those older PrepTests. Don't use them to estimate what you'll need on test day.
