How to Use the LSAT Percentile Calculator
- 1. Enter your score. LSAT scores are whole numbers from 120 to 180.
- 2. Read the percentile. The calculator gives the percent of scores below yours to two decimals, LSAC's rounded whole-number percentile, and the share at or above.
- 3. Compare if you are retaking. Type a second score to see the gap in percentage points between the two.
- 4. Work backward. Enter the share of test takers you want to outscore, from 1 to 99, to see the lowest score that does it.
What LSAC's Percentile Means
LSAC defines the percentile rank for a score as the percentage of test scores that are lower than that scaled score. A 160 has 71.06 percent of scores below it, which LSAC prints as 71 percent in whole numbers. The percent at or above the score is the remainder, 28.94 percent. It describes where a score sits among everyone who tested, not how many questions you answered correctly.
The table covers the 2023-2024, 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 testing years (LSAC, LSAT Percentiles, retrieved October 2026). LSAC publishes a new table as testing years accrue, so the same score can move by a point or two. If you need to compare with an older score report, use the table for that period.
| LSAT score | Percent below | Whole number |
|---|---|---|
| 175 | 98.72% | 99% |
| 170 | 94.48% | 94% |
| 165 | 85.17% | 85% |
| 160 | 71.06% | 71% |
| 155 | 54.03% | 54% |
| 150 | 36.56% | 37% |
| 145 | 21.48% | 21% |

Reading the Table Carefully
LSAC prints three versions of each percentile, and they do not always agree when you read them quickly. A 167 has 89.53 percent of scores below it, which rounds to 90 in the whole-number column. If you want a score that beats at least 90 percent of test takers, strictly, the answer is 168, at 91.36 percent. The calculator's backward lookup uses the exact figure, and says which score it found.
Gaps are uneven across the scale. From 150 to 160 the percentile rises by about 34.5 points, so ten points of LSAT score move a candidate a long way. From 170 to 175 it rises by only about 4.2 points, because the top of the distribution is crowded with few test takers. A 120 is the lowest possible score, so LSAC lists no scores below it and the table shows 0.00 percent.
Worked Example
A test taker scores 160 and retakes the exam for a 165. The table puts the 160 at 71.06 percent below and the 165 at 85.17 percent, a gap of 14.11 percentage points. Wanting to beat 90 percent of test takers, they would need a 168, which sits at 91.36 percent.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What LSAT score is the 90th percentile?
- On LSAC's table for the 2023–2026 testing years, a 168 has 91.36 percent of scores below it and is the lowest score that clears 90 percent. A 167 has 89.53 percent below it, which LSAC prints as 90 in its whole-number column, so check which version a source is quoting.
- What is the 50th percentile on the LSAT?
- A 154 has 50.43 percent of scores below it, so it is just above the middle of the distribution. A 153 is at 46.93 percent. The middle of the scale from 120 to 180 is 150, but the typical score is higher than that.
- What percentile is a 170 on the LSAT?
- A 170 has 94.48 percent of scores below it in LSAC's 2023–2026 table, which LSAC prints as 94 percent in whole numbers. About 5.52 percent of scores were 170 or higher.
- What does percent below mean?
- It is the percentage of test scores lower than a given score. Percent below is not the same as the percent of questions you answered correctly, and it is not the same as the percent at or above your score, which is the remainder to 100.
- Do LSAT percentiles change?
- Yes. LSAC bases the table on three testing years of scores and publishes a new one as the years move on. The current table covers 2023-2024, 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, so a score may sit a little higher or lower than it did on an older table.
- Is the LSAT percentile the same as my score out of 100?
- No. The LSAT is scored from 120 to 180, and a percentile ranks that score against others. A 160 is the 71st percentile, not a 71 percent score.
