What LSAT score do you need? As you consider an LSAT score goal, it\u2019s always wise to look at average scores at the schools to which you\u2019re applying. For starters, though, here are the basics you might need to know about your LSAT score:<\/span><\/p>\n

The LSAT is scored on a 120\u2013180 scale. The average LSAT score is about 153. This relatively small range of scores means that small improvements in performance can increase your score quite a bit. It also means that small improvements in your score can make a big difference in your percentile ranking (sometimes, a one-point increase in your score can boost your percentile ranking by as many as 5 points).<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be perfect to do well on the LSAT. On a typical LSAT, you can still get around 18\u201319 questions wrong and still end up in the 160s\u2014or around 10\u201312 wrong and get a 167, which is a 90th percentile score. Even a perfect score of 180 often allows you to miss a question or two.<\/span><\/p>\n
