Calculate your LSAC GPA free online. Estimate your Law School Admission Council GPA using LSAC's official grade conversion grid — includes all undergraduate grades and repeated courses.
The LSAC GPA Calculator estimates your Law School Admission Council GPA using LSAC's official grade-point conversion grid. LSAC recalculates GPA from all undergraduate transcripts, including every institution attended, repeated courses (both attempts are counted), and courses taken after graduation. LSAC uses a different grade-point scale from most schools: A+ = 4.33, A = 4.00, A− = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.00, down to F = 0.00. Enter all your undergraduate courses and credit hours to get an estimated LSAC GPA and see how it aligns with law school admissions benchmarks before your official CAS report is processed.
The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) independently recalculates your GPA using its Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Unlike your college or university GPA — which may apply grade forgiveness, exclude certain courses, or use institutional rounding — the LSAC GPA includes every undergraduate course from every institution you attended, applies LSAC's own grade conversion grid, and counts both original and repeated course grades. The most significant difference is the grade-point scale: LSAC assigns A+ a value of 4.33, making it possible to have an LSAC GPA above 4.0. All other grades are also slightly different at the A− and B+ level. The calculation itself is a standard weighted average: multiply each course's LSAC grade points by its credit hours to get quality points, sum all quality points, and divide by total credit hours. This LSAC GPA calculator applies that exact grid so you can estimate your CAS GPA before your official report is processed.
Formula
LSAC Quality Points = LSAC Grade Points × Credit Hours LSAC GPA = Σ(Quality Points) ÷ Σ(Credit Hours) LSAC Grade Points: A+ = 4.33, A = 4.00, A− = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.00, B− = 2.67, C+ = 2.33, C = 2.00, C− = 1.67, D+ = 1.33, D = 1.00, D− = 0.67, F = 0.00
The key difference from standard GPA is the 4.33 ceiling for A+ and the slightly different mid-tier values. LSAC uses 3.67 for A− (vs. 3.7) and 3.33 for B+ (vs. 3.3) — small differences that compound across many courses. Both the original and repeated course grades must be entered because LSAC counts both.
Example: estimating LSAC GPA with a repeated course
✓ Result: LSAC GPA = 3.33 for this example — 0.34 points lower than the school GPA because LSAC counts the original C+ that the school forgave.
