As you have asked about the overall scores details of the Law School Admission test (LSAT), I am giving you information about it

Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a type of standardized test for admissions to Juris Doctor (JD) programs of law schools in USA, Canada, Australia and some other countries.
LSAT is designed to assess reading comprehension, logical, and verbal reasoning proficiencies

Score / grade range
120 to 180, in 1 point increments.

The LSAT is a standardized test in that LSAC adjusts raw scores to fit an
expected norm.

Normalized scores are distributed on a scale with a low of 120 to a high of
180.

The LSAT system of scoring is predetermined and does not reflect test
takers' percentile, unlike the SAT.

The relationship between raw questions answered correctly (the "raw score")
and scaled score is determined before the test is administered, through a
process called equating.

This means that the conversion standard is set beforehand, and the
distribution of percentiles can vary during the scoring of any particular LSAT.

Adjusted scores lie in a bell curve, tapering off at the extremes and
concentrating near the median.

Although the exact percentile of a given score will vary slightly between
examinations, there tends to be little variance.

The 50th percentile is typically a score of about 151; the 90th percentile is
around 165 and the 99th is about 173.

A 178 or better usually places the examinee in the 99.9th percentile.
