Well those scores correspond to the 99th percentile. Which theortically means 1% of all test takers. If 100,000 people took the LSAT last year, then 1000 got those scores. Thats my guess. I dont have specific numbers if thats what you were looking for. Sorry. Check the LSAC site.

I read somewhere online that 189 people had a 175 (and that 30 had a 180).

Don't remember where I dug that out....probably LSAC.

Last year (June'09 to Feb'10), 171,514 LSATs were administered. According to my LSAT book, a 172 is 98.6th percentile, and a 175 is 99.4. Comparing those percentiles to that of the next highest score, and multiplying by the total number of tests, gives 686 scores of 172 and 343 scores of 175. I'd view those numbers as approximations.

All right! I was close.

Ha. I was an engineering physics major. If you show your work and you're within an order of magnitude with your answer, the answer is credited. A!
