Percentiles Score Conversion Charts
Help!
Does anyone have or link to the LSAT score conversion chart for all Ptests............I really need the Percentile sheet rather than the conversion sheet.
Thank You!

Thank You, but is there any chance you have post-2002? Looking for all PTests. Would really appreciate it.

Re: Percentiles Score Conversion Charts
The conversion chart goes all the way to the most recent test (PT 69 - June 2013 (LinkRemoved)); scroll to the right to see the newer ones.CMoreBusiness wrote:Thank You, but is there any chance you have post-2002? Looking for all PTests. Would really appreciate it.

Re: Percentiles Score Conversion Charts
Sorry, I think I'm being unclear. I'm looking for the percentile table. So the link you have for the LSAT Percentile Table shows me everything from 2002 to Current. I was hoping to get 1991 to Current. I am trying to analyze what a scaled score corresponded to when it was actually taken, in terms of the percentiles.
I've been unable to find this and would buy you a drink (if you're in NY) if you can help me with this.
Thank You

Re: Percentiles Score Conversion Charts
Since the percentile rank chart is updated each year to reflect all the data including the three previous testing years results you'd have to find somebody that received and archived the chart each year from 1991 forward other than LSAC. There are only a few people still in the LSAT prep biz that have been since 1991 that could even have had the opportunity to get that data each year when it was published in order to archive all of it, so I doubt you will find someone that collected and put all of it together.CMoreBusiness wrote:Sorry, I think I'm being unclear.

Why do you want or need that data anyway? The percentile rank for each scaled score hasn't changed very much over the years and only the current and recent data is relevant for modern day admissions analysis purposes anyway. The law school admissions climate was totally different back in the 90s so I don't see how the old data would be useful to prospective applicants in the current era. If you really want that data per year, I'd suggest asking LSAC to see if they are willing to share.

Thanks, I understand your points, I've found a few folks who've referenced the charts in their analysis so I'm reaching out where possible. Haven't tried LSAC directly, but we'll see what they say. Why? I'm in the process of building a tool that tracks performance, and hoping to run some analysis on Test difficulty. It's an impossible task to begin with, but this data would be a little bit more helpful and add a small degree of additional accuracy than the conversion chart alone. All the reasons you state regarding the testing environment back then vs. now is exactly why I want this data. Any noise that can be parsed out will be helpful. But all your points are supremely valid.

Re: Percentiles Score Conversion Charts
You might get lucky if you ask LSAC nicely and give them a good reason why you want it in order to persuade them to dig it up. You never know, LSAC can be pretty helpful with some things when asked. Otherwise you'll probably only have a chance of getting it all by finding pieces of it from various different people that have the charts for certain years but not others to collect all of it up.CMoreBusiness wrote:Jeffort wrote:Since the percentile rank chart is updated each year to reflect all the data including the three previous testing years results you'd have to find somebody that received and archived the chart each year from 1991 forward other than LSAC.

As you've probably already realized, there is only so far you can get trying to use that data for test difficulty related analysis since you cannot calculate exact performance volume data per score per test or per year from it. To do a meaningful analysis of test difficulty and performance levels over the years you would need the specific data about how many people achieved each scaled score per year and per test form. You can only come up with rough estimates of the quantity of test takers that achieved each scaled score per year since the percentile chart represents the percentages for each scaled score across the previous three years of tests administered, not for each discrete year, nor for each discrete test-form.
You've probably thought of all this already... Good luck though, it is an interesting idea and I'm always into new analysis of LSAT data.

Re: Percentiles Score Conversion Charts
Yeah it's not going to be exact. I'm going to use some assumptions and weight a few factors.

Re: Percentiles Score Conversion Charts
OP doesn't even know the difference between "post" and "pre". You should be brushing up on grammar/the English language instead of worrying about percentiles at this point.CMoreBusiness wrote:Thank You, but is there any chance you have post-2002? Looking for all PTests. Would really appreciate it.

Thank You for pointing that out. Yes I meant pre-2002. Did you have the tables by any chance? No?altoid99 wrote:OP doesn't even know the difference between "post" and "pre".
