Worked Example: Benchmark Scenario: LSAC Law School Index
Combine LSAT score and LSAC 4.33-scale GPA into a standardized admission index.
- Enter your raw test counts, credit hours, or schedule parameters.
- Evaluate the formula: LSAC_GPA = (StandardQualityPoints + A_Plus_Credits × 0.33) / TotalCredits; Index = 0.60·((LSAT−120)/60)×100 + 0.40·(GPA/4.0)×100.
- Inspect the primary score/duration, supporting metrics, and 3 SVG graphs.
Result: Computes LSAC Law School Index via LSAC_GPA = (StandardQualityPoints + A_Plus_Credits × 0.33) / TotalCredits; Index = 0.60·((LSAT−120)/60)×100 + 0.40·(GPA/4.0)×100.

Law School LSAC CAS GPA (4.33 A+ Scale) & Admission Index Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Combine LSAT score and LSAC 4.33-scale GPA into a standardized admission index.
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Institutional Gpa4 Scale: Undergraduate GPA on standard 4.00 scale.
- Total Graded Credits: Total undergraduate graded semester hours.
- A Plus Credit Hours: Credit hours earned with an A+ grade (+0.33 LSAC bonus per credit).
- Lsat Score120to180: Highest official LSAT score (120 to 180).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, LSAC CAS Adjusted GPA (4.33 Scale) is 3.83 CAS GPA. The calculation follows LSAC Law School Index Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Institutional Gpa4 Scale from 3.78 GPA to 4.16 GPA changes LSAC CAS Adjusted GPA (4.33 Scale) from 3.83 CAS GPA to 4.21 CAS GPA. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses official published scoring scales, Carnegie unit conventions, and ISO calendar rules.
- Official standardized test equating curves vary slightly by test form administration date.
Scope: Global Academic, Psychometric & ISO 8601 Time Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
