LSAT Sign For Free

Ing to U.S. News, law school admissions experts recommend striving for at least a 150; however, for a top-ranking law school, you should aim for a 160 or better. For a Top 10 law school, a 170 or more is desired.

Consider the LSAT averages or ranges of students the schools you're applying to admit to their program, and see how your score compares. If you're already above (or towards the 75th percentile of) the qualifications your schools look for, there's probably no need to bother with a retest just to gain admission.

In general, if you are in the mid-140's or above, I have had success helping applicants fulfill their law school admission goals as long as people are flexible about where to attend and you're willing to pay full price for law school. But once you get below that number, you're fighting an uphill battle.

In order to get an LSAT score of 160, you would need to get about 70-75 out of the 102 questions correct. In other words, you should be aiming to get around 70-75% of questions correct per section.

So, a great score on the LSAT is a 172, but more than 100,000 people take the LSAT every year and only 1% score 172 or higher. For the top 50 law schools, the median LSAT score is between 164 and 174. A good LSAT score for top tier(defined by T14 schools for this article) law schools is between 171 and 174.

If you achieve a 160 on the exam, you'll have performed better than approximately 80% of test takers. A score of 160 is perhaps the most agreed upon number for a ?good? LSAT score and could be compared to achieving above an 1800 on the SAT (or 25 on the ACT).

170 score: Scoring a 170 on the LSAT is almost always considered a good score ? that means you are in the 2-3% of test-takers. Still, it won't guarantee you admission at a top law school.

A student scoring a 180 is in the 99.9 percentile because the student scored better than 99.9% of test-takers. A student scoring a 160 is in the 80.4 percentile because the student scored better than 80.4% of test-takers.
