The LSAT is not a computerized test like other graduate school entrance exams (GRE and GMAT), so it takes about four weeks to get your scores back. Believe you, me, these four weeks will be the longest in your entire life.
If you signed up for the LSAT online through LSAC, you will receive an e-mail at the end of the month in which you took the test. Otherwise, you will get a letter in the mail detailing your scores. I suggest signing up online since most test-takers get their scores quicker via e-mail than snail mail.
As I mentioned previously, your score is based on how many you answer correctly (this is your raw score). Your raw score is then converted on a scale from 120 to 180. 120 is the lowest possible score, and 180 is the highest. This is done through a procedure known as equating, which adjusts for minor differences in diffculty between tests.
When you receive your scores, you will be given your raw scaled score (score band) plus a precentile rank. Schools often look at the score band and percentile rank to determine candidacy and scholarship eligibility.
With your score you'll also receive a copy of your answer sheet and answer key. If you are unhappy with your score, study your mistakes and learn from them. You can always retake the test 2 more times in a 2 year period.
