LSAT - Average Score

Interpreting your Score

The score sent to you by the authorities is not the finalized score , that is it need to be  converted to a "scaled" score of between 120 and 180, depending on the difficulty of the LSAT you took.
 Your scaled score is grouped into  a "score band", which is a statistical grouping of your scaled score plus or minus three points with a 68% level of confidence. This means, for example, that a person with a scaled score of 150 will score between 147 and 153 about 68% of the time.

The average LSAT scaled score is around 151, more than 50% score between 145 and 159.
A  scaled score of 160 to 165 puts you in very good company, & you are in an elite group with a scaled score of 166 or better. Your scaled score will be ranked in a percentile, which is the percentage of test takers that you outscored. For example, a 75th percentile score means that you outscored 75% of the test takers, and that 25% outscored you.
On the LSAT, a handful of correct answers can make a huge percentile difference. The difference between the 50th percentile and the 75th percentile is around three questions per section; the difference between the 90th and the 95th percentiles is less than two questions per section.
