What a percentile means
A percentile rank answers one question: out of everyone who took the LSAT in a certain period, what share scored lower than you? LSAC, the organization that writes the LSAT, describes its percentile rank as the percentage of test scores that are lower than the given scaled score. The higher the percentile, the more of the scores in LSAC's table fell below yours.
The calculator above does one thing. It looks up the score you type in the table LSAC publishes and shows you the matching row. It does not estimate, smooth or fill in anything. The source link, the testing years and the date we last compared the numbers with LSAC's page are printed under every result so you can check them yourself.
What a percentile is not
A percentile describes a group of test takers, not you. It does not forecast the score you will earn next, and it says nothing about how fast you can improve. Two people with the same diagnostic score can finish their prep in very different places, depending on time, method and starting habits.
It is also not an admissions chance. Law schools look at the score together with your GPA, your application and their own medians. To see how a score and GPA compare with the schools you are considering, use the school-chances calculator, which is built on official ABA data.

Why the numbers move a little each year
LSAC's table pools three testing years, and it is refreshed as the newest year is added and the oldest drops off. Because the group of test takers changes, the percentile attached to a given score can shift by a small amount from one edition of the table to the next. That is why this page shows the testing years it covers and the date it was last checked, and why you should open LSAC's page if you need the very latest figures.
LSAC publishes three columns: percent below to the hundredth, to the tenth and as a whole number. We show the tenths as the main figure and LSAC's whole-number column beside it. LSAC does its own rounding, so the whole number is not always what ordinary rounding would give. We copy the columns exactly as published.
How to use it well
The most useful thing a percentile can do is give you a picture of where a score sits, so a number like 158 stops being abstract. Use it that way: look up your most recent official-style practice score, then look up the score you are aiming for, and notice how far apart they are.
Then put the number down and go back to the work. A practice score is only worth something if you review the questions you missed and work out why the wrong answers were tempting. This tool does not convert a count of correct answers into a scaled score; scoring a practice test is done on LawHub, LSAC's practice platform, which scores official PrepTests for you. Its free tier includes a few official PrepTests; check LSAC's page for what is included now.
