What is a scaled score?
Your LSAT─India scaled score is based on the number of questions you answered correctly (your raw score) and is an estimate of your actual proficiency in the skills tested. As there are slight differences in the difficulty of different versions of the LSAT─India across test administrations, raw scores are not directly comparable. For this reason, your raw score is converted to an LSAT─India scaled score that ranges from 420 to 480, with 420 being the lowest possible score and 480 being the highest possible score. LSAT─India scaled scores can be directly compared across different administrations and testing years.

What is a score band?
LSAT─India scaled scores are reported along with a score band because the estimate of proficiency provided by a given LSAT─India scaled score is not perfectly accurate. Your actual proficiency in the skills tested on the LSAT─India may be slightly higher or slightly lower than that reflected by the score you received. The score band indicates a range of scores, including scores slightly higher and slightly lower than the score you received. Your actual proficiency in the skills measured by the LSAT─India is likely to fall within this range.

What is a percent below value?
To aid you in interpreting your LSAT—India scaled score, a percent below value for your scaled score is also reported. The percent below reflects the percentage of candidates for your programme whose scores were lower than yours. For example, a percent below value of 79.66% indicates that 79.66% of other test takers for your programme who took the LSAT—India within the same administration scored lower than you. Note that the percent below values of test takers seeking entrance to a 5-year LL.B. programme cannot be compared to the percent below values of those seeking entrance to a 3-year LL.B programme or an LL.M programme.

Can percentile rankings of different candidate groups (LL.B vs. LL.M) be compared?
No, percentile rankings are only comparable to other ranks within the same candidate group.

Under what circumstances can my score be cancelled?
Any failure to follow invigilator instructions, violation of the terms and conditions, or cheating are grounds for cancellation of scores. Scores may be cancelled if, during post-test analysis, there is evidence of cheating. Scores may be cancelled without an offer of a retest.

Can I request that my score or answer sheet be rechecked?
Yes. There will be a fee of INR 1500 to recheck scores or answer sheets, regardless of the reason for the request or the outcome of the recheck.

How long are LSAT─India scores valid?
Starting in 2019, an LSAT─India score became valid for 5 years. However, you should check with any law college you are considering about whether they will accept a score received during a prior year.

If my score is cancelled, will I be offered a retest?
Your score may be cancelled without the offer of a retest.

What activities count as ‘misconduct’ on the test day?
The following describes some forms of misconduct and is grounds for dismissal and cancellation of your score. This list is for illustration purposes only and is NOT an exhaustive list.

• Providing other test takers with test answers or information about the test
