A tool designed to convert the number of correct answers achieved on a Law School Admission Test (LSAT) into a preliminary, unscaled score. This score reflects performance before statistical equating and standardization processes are applied by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) to generate the official score used for law school admissions. For example, correctly answering 70 out of approximately 100 scored questions would result in a specific initial value based on the assessment’s scoring key.
This conversion mechanism is beneficial for test-takers engaged in practice assessments. It offers an immediate indication of performance and allows for tracking progress over time. Historically, aspiring law students relied on manual scoring methods or approximations to gauge their likely standing. The availability of these instruments provides greater efficiency and objectivity in self-assessment. The unscaled number allows test takers to evaluate their strengths and weakness in specific areas.
