LSAT Scoring

JY,
Just finished today's LSAT, and left several answers blank..I know that it doesn't hurt me to answer all questions..but I am wondering how the LSAT is scored with blank answers? Is it curved to the answers that I did put in? Will I be penalized for leaving a certain number of questions blank?
Thank you,
John

Sadly yes, you are penalized for blank answers. For those who are taking in December take note, guess if you don't know. -1 is -1, doesn't matter if you got it wrong or just plain guessed. Same goes for +1. That's why the LSAT score is not an exact score, but rather a representation of your range. On any given test you could be expected, statistically speaking, to go +-4 raw points.
