LSAT score is measured on the scale of 120 to180. Although the average
LSAT score is about 150, to get admission into any of the top law
schools, a score of 160 and above is required. There is no passing score
in LSAT. Different law schools make different cutoff for admission into
their schools. Get informed about all these basic information either by
reading through the brochure of the school or through the official
website of the particular law school. In addition to a good LSAT score,
most of the law schools follow different criteria for admitting the
candidates.
A good GPA (Graded Point Average) and a good LSAT score is required for
admission in some schools. Some schools weigh LSAT and GPA in the ratio
70:30 or 75:25 etc, for the admission. The other admission factors like
references, application essays also count in some schools. The
application essays are not necessarily reflective of the academic
ability and personality of the aspirant. Many admission consulting
programs help students in writing essays. In addition, admissions
departments do not have enough staff to read all the application essays.
If your LSAT score and GPA are far below the norm, your application
essay may never even be read. LSAT is a test that can give you definite
success and you can increase your score by 20 or 30 percentile, if you
learn the ideal approach and devote ample time during preparation.
