LSAT Replace Tick For Free

The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is a mandatory exam required to get into most US law schools, but sitting for the LSAT is not enough.You can score anywhere between 120 and 180 on the LSAT. The average LSAT score is 150, enough to get you into most American Bar Association-accredited law schools.

To achieve a score of 170 requires a test taker to correctly answer 90 out of 101 questions. At most colleges 90 out of 101 would probably yield a B+ or A- grade.

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.

For a top five law school, an LSAT score of 175 and above increases your chances of being admitted and being awarded a full scholarship by the school. Such a score also puts you in the 99th percentile of LSAT takers, making you a rare and highly coveted law school candidate.

What you need is an almost perfect LSAT score. Harvard is exceptionally competitive. To be in the 75th percentile, you need to score at least 175. Scoring 170 puts you in the 25th percentile of Harvard applicants.

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.

A 170 puts you in the 97th percentile among all LSAT test-takers. Two of the top three schools, Yale and Harvard, reported a median LSAT score of 173, which would put you in the 99th percentile. Many people aim for scores in this range.
