LSAT Convert to Excel For Free - Pre 1991 Lsat Scores Percentiles

We've already developed a general sense of LSAT score percentiles from some of the common score thresholds above (160: 80th percentile; 165: 90th percentile; 170: 97-98th percentile, and 174: 99th percentile).

A 99th percentile score on the LSAT is about a 172, meaning if you get a 172 then 99 percent of the test takers didn't score as well as you.However, despite that fact that most people put in a decent effort to prep for the exam, only 1% of test takers are going to hit that or above each year.

LSAT Percentile For example if your LSAT Scaled Score is 157 you will have a percentile rank of approximately 75% meaning that your Scaled Score of 157 is better than 75% of the LSAT Scaled Scores for the last three years. The Percentile Scores below are the scores for the period from June, 2006 to February 2009.

If you have a GPA of 3.95+ and an LSAT score of 175+, then you should be confident of a high chance of getting into Harvard. However, because Harvard is so competitive, even applicants with these outstanding numbers would be well advised to apply to at least 5-10 law schools in addition to Harvard.

Scoring a 174 on the LSAT will place you at or above the 75th percentile of admitted students at all law schools except for Harvard and Yale (though still above their reported medians).

Here is a breakdown of what counts as a good enough score for law schools based on the school's rank: Top five law schools 170 to 180. Schools like Harvard and Yale, which are the top two, rarely accept applicants with less than 172 on the LSAT.Law schools ranked between 50 and 100 150 to 162.

This is very difficult to do, less than 0.01% of all test takers (in most years) end up being given a score of 180. You don't necessarily have to get all the questions right, but you have to get at least 98, maybe 99% correct.
