📊 Your estimated LSAC GPA (CAS)

Total quality points: 0 | Total credits (semester hrs): 0

LSAC note: This tool replicates LSAC’s official calculation: A+=4.33, A=4.0, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.0, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.0, C-=1.67, D+=1.33, D=1.0, D-=0.67, F=0.0. All credits (including repeated courses) are counted. Quarter credits are converted to semester hours (divide by 1.5). Not official — always verify with your LSAC Academic Summary Report.

LSAC Grading Scale & Quality Points

Letter Grade	Quality Points	Letter Grade	Quality Points
A+	4.33	C+	2.33
A	4.00	C	2.00
A-	3.67	C-	1.67
B+	3.33	D+	1.33
B	3.00	D	1.00
B-	2.67	D-	0.67
F / WF		0.00

Key rule: LSAC includes all undergraduate courses from regionally accredited institutions, including repeated classes (both original and retake grades count), summer sessions, and any transfer credits. Pass/Fail courses are excluded from GPA unless they carry a letter grade equivalent. Graduate/professional coursework is not factored into your LSAC GPA.

How to calculate your LSAC GPA (2026)

1. Gather transcripts
Collect all undergraduate transcripts (even withdrawals, repeated courses).

2. Enter each course
Add each course with credits & grade. LSAC uses +/- scale.

3. Quarter conversion
Toggle quarter → semester conversion if applicable.

4. Review summary
Your LSAC CAS GPA = total grade points ÷ total semester credits.

🎓 Why LSAC GPA differs from your institutional GPA

Many colleges apply “academic renewal” or grade forgiveness for repeats, but LSAC does not. Both original and repeated grades appear in the LSAC calculation. Also, LSAC converts all credits to semester hours: if your school uses quarter units, divide by 1.5 (multiply by 0.667). Plus, LSAC includes all undergraduate coursework, including failed classes, even if your school excluded them. Our calculator precisely mirrors these rules.

Exclusive tip — LSAC GPA checklist 2026: Request official transcripts at least 8 weeks before your application deadline. Use your Academic Summary Report to verify every course. If you attended multiple institutions, all are included. AP/IB credits with a grade of "CR" are not counted unless they appear as letter grades. Foreign transcripts may need a LSAC evaluation.

📌 Quick timeline for law school applicants

✔️ 12–18 months before enrollment: Use LSAC GPA calculator to set target LSAT score.
✔️ 9 months prior: Register for Credential Assembly Service (CAS).
✔️ 6 months prior: Submit transcripts to LSAC; monitor your CAS GPA.
✔️ Rolling basis: Recheck after fall/spring grades if still in school.

LSAC GPA Calculation: Real-world examples

📘 Repeated course scenario

Original: Calculus I – 3 credits, D (1.0) → 3.0 grade points.
Repeat: Calculus I – 3 credits, B (3.0) → 9.0 grade points.
Total credits = 6, total points = 12.0 → LSAC GPA = 2.00 (whereas your university may only count B).

📗 Quarter vs semester conversion

Suppose you have 12 quarter credits with a total of 36 grade points (quarter). LSAC converts: 12 × 0.667 = 8.004 semester credits, grade points remain 36 → GPA = 4.50 (semester basis). Our tool handles it automatically.

⚖️ How does LSAC treat AP/IB or CLEP?

If your transcript shows letter grade equivalents for AP or IB (e.g., "A" granted for AP exam), LSAC will include that grade. If only "CR" or transfer credits without grade, they are excluded from GPA calculation but count toward degree requirements. Use the calculator only for graded college-level courses.

Pro insight: Some law schools also consider GPA trends; LSAC provides year-by-year breakdowns. Keep upward trends strong.

Frequently asked questions: LSAC GPA

❓ How does LSAC calculate GPA for repeated courses?
LSAC counts every attempt, both original and repeated grades, and includes all credits and quality points. There is no "grade forgiveness".

❓ Does LSAC include graduate school grades?
No, the LSAC CAS GPA only uses undergraduate coursework (bachelor’s degree–level courses, including community college, summer, and post-baccalaureate undergrad courses).

❓ What if my transcript uses quarter hours? How do I calculate LSAC GPA?
LSAC converts quarter hours to semester hours by multiplying by ⅔ (0.667). Our calculator has a quarter-system toggle to automate this conversion.

❓ Are withdrawal (W) or incomplete (I) courses counted?
Withdrawals (W) do not carry grade points, so they are not included. Incompletes that later convert to a letter grade will be factored in when final grades are posted.

❓ How accurate is the 7sage LSAC GPA calculator compared to yours?
Both follow the same LSAC methodology: semester conversion and LSAC quality points. Our calculator also supports quarter/semester switch and unlimited course rows, making it comprehensive for 2026.

❓ How do I find my official LSAC GPA?
After you submit all transcripts to LSAC and purchase CAS, your Academic Summary Report will show the official LSAC-calculated GPA. This tool gives you a precise estimate before that step.

❓ Does LSAC include AP test scores that appear as credits with no grade?
No. Only courses with standard letter grades (A–F) are included. “CR” or “P” credits without letter grades are excluded from GPA.
