It's not mandatory but it really helps to spend less money; you'll be sending all your original papers once (and without official translations). LSAC is not perfect, but it works ok, if you have any problem you can reach them and they'll solve it..
Regarding the grading system, it depends on each country. In my case, where the scale is from 0 to 20, they do apply a reasonble standard to qualify you as a "superior", "above average", etc.. student.
Good luck!

do they really help to spend less money ?!?!?
what do you mean when you said....you don't need official translation ?! can I translate all the documents by myself ? can I send them copies of the originals ?!?
thanks :D

You can translate them by yourself and send it with the originals. LSAC asks for 1 single set of originals (not copies).
So, instead of sending for example 5 original, legalized and translated sets of documents to 5 unis.. you only send 1 original set to LSAC and that's it.
In my case every extra set of original documents from my university cost, and every extra translation and legalization also costs... so by avoiding such extra sets of documents, translations and legalizations I REALLY spent less money!
I don't know how it works in your country though..

To the question "Is LSAC worth it" ?
Well :
1 to 3 applications : No need for LSAC, you can do it yourself
4, 5 or more : LSAC very useful !
(In my case : 12 applications, couldn't do that without LSAC)
