Think of it as Total Test Questions minus the Curve. Then the scale starts there.

101-12, or whatever.
To clarify, the -x is how many it takes to get a 170
So let's say the four scored sections total 101 questions. And I answer 86 of them right, meaning 15 are wrong. The conversion number I would use to get the LSAT score would be what?
Since we won't find out the actual curve until they release the scores, the best we can do is try to predict the curve. This is done by people comparing how difficult they thought it was to the difficulty of past practice tests they took. For instance, if I've taken 30 practice tests and have gotten pretty good at predicting how well I fared and how difficult each test was, then when I take this test and think well it was way easier than average/ slightly easier than average/ harder than average etc, I can sort of map out my prediction of which raw scores will lead to which scaled scores.

Since I think this was about an average difficulty test, and the average curve is -11/-12, I'd place the curve at about -12. From there I can look at past raw score to scaled score conversions for preptests that had a -12 as a 170 and go based off of that for raw scores higher or lower than 89 (-12). If I thought I got about 15 wrong/86 right, I'd predict that that would place my score at about a 167/168 (like lawpro82 said), since traditionally an average difficulty test/ a test with a -12 curve scaled an 86 raw score to a 167 or 168.

People just call the amount of wrong answers allowed to still get a 170 the curve because that's the main goal of most of the people obsessed with the LSAT enough to care about curves etc.
What do you figure the curve will be for a 180? It seems less predictable than the curve for 170, but I feel like it could be -3 (although now I'm going to miss like 20 for having the nerve to even ask this)

I remember the good ol' curve discussions.

The most important thing to know about the curve is that talking about the curve is dumb.

The second most important thing to know is that you'll do it anyway.

Nah, it'll be -1, maybe -2, but the curve won't be greater than -10 or -11 so I don't expect it to be terribly lenient at the top.
