LSAT Flex Score Conversion

Taking the LSAT will help you gain admission to the best law colleges. LSAT scores can be formatted in several ways. The meaning of each is the same; only the scales are different. LSAT flex scores are considered by several universities, while scaled scores are considered by others. Raw scores are the basis for both flex scores and scaled scores. Therefore, it is essential to know about LSAT flex score conversion.

How to Study for the LSAT (according to a 176 scorer) Part One: Take a Dang LSAT

Start Studying, Step One: 

Find about three hours you can spend alone in a quiet-ish room and take a timed LSAT at home. Here’s how you do that: 

1. Either go to the digital LSAT tool or print out the June 2007 LSAT. 

I highly suggest using the June 2007 LSAT, especially if you’re going to work with me, because it’s a really familiar starting point for me to help you with! A lot of those questions have become iconic in their own way because so many people have taken this same test.

2. Set a timer for 35 minutes per section, and stop when time is up. No cheating - you’d only hurt yourself.

If you do the digital version, you’ll just need to follow instructions - it’s already timed.

3. Add up your “raw score,” which is the total number of questions you got correct. 

You’ll have to check your answers on the paper test (the answer key is at the end of the document), while the digital LSAT will automatically total your score for you.

4. Compare your “raw score” to the “scaled score” on the chart for the PrepTest you took. 

Each test gets its own “scaled score,” or SS, because some are slightly easier or harder than others. Because of this, you can’t just say, “Okay, great, I got 75 right, which is a 158.” On some tests, 75 correct answers might get you a higher or lower SS than 158. The July 2007 LSAT has the score conversion chart right at the end of the document, as with any book of past PrepTests you buy. You’ll can also Google the score conversion chart for the PrepTest you took.

5. Don’t freak out, don’t get too excited, don’t give up, don’t decide you’re a genius - just take your starting point for what it is: the very first data point in your LSAT Domination (insert flexing motions here).

You can find tons of people who will tell you what the ideal starting score is (I guess probably a 180, right?), but I think that’s all baloney. 

I started out with a 163 in March-ish of 2019, and I ended with a 176 in September 2019. A 13-point increase is quite a bit, and I was really happy with it - but I had to work hard! If you start much lower or higher than 163, though, that doesn’t mean you can’t go up by a bunch.

It all depends on how long you’re willing to study, how much time you’re willing to put in per day, and how quality you’re going to make your study time. If you started with a 120 but were willing to work at it long enough, you could get there eventually. Some folks like to make themselves feel elite by pretending there’s a cutoff score below which you shouldn’t even try to study for the LSAT - and that sounds like someone who is either a jagweed or a crappy teacher. 

Let’s be clear: there could certainly be students who might need years to get to a very high score. If you don’t have that kind of time, we’ll have to make a different plan and goal. But if you understand that this is a learnable test, not just some magical roulette wheel, you’ll see why I believe everyone can make it eventually.
