Default Re: Is It Hard To Get A 170 On The Lsat

A good score on Law School Admission Test LSAT, is viewed by many to be the most important part of getting into a top-tier law school.

It's designed to measure and project your ability to excel in law school.

The maximum score for the test is 180, but a score of 170 usually puts you in the 98th percentile.

The LSAT is not a test of academic knowledge, such as legal history, taking the right classes can help polish the mental skills the LSAT tries to measure

The test is broken into five separate sections: analytical reasoning, two logical reasoning sections, reading comprehension, and a writing section.

The writing section is unscored, but it's provided to each law school to which a given student applies.

The other sections are each 35 minutes long and contain 24 to 28 questions.

On a typical college test, you are barely passing if you get 65% of the questions correct. On the LSAT, however, that score would put you in the 75th percentile! To put things in perspective for you:

You don’t need to respond correctly to every question to attain a “perfect” score of 180. In fact, you can get 2 or 3 questions wrong.

If you get 75% of the LSAT questions correct, you will score higher than 90% of all test takers.

If you get 50% of the LSAT questions correct, you will score higher than 40% of all test takers.
