Last Minute LSAT Tips + LSAT Mug Shots
T-2 days until the December LSAT. For those of you who are going to take the plunge, we’ve got some last minute tips for you. There are many great nuggets of advice in that article, so definitely check it out if you’re wondering what the best use of your final hours might be.
This post, however, focuses on a very specific piece of advice for your LSAT day. We’ve written in the past about the relatively new LSAC policy which requires test takers to present photo ID upon entering their testing center.
Amazingly, LSAC has posted a litany of unintentionally hilarious photos on their website as example of what type of photo is NOT acceptable on test day. How is one to resist poking some fun at this?!
Here are my favorites of the unacceptable photos:
“Head too big” is the heading on this one. If only the LSAC really did deny test takers who suffered from an inflated ego – or people with mustaches.
Artistic types need not apply.
Phillies fans are out of luck..
The family portrait is frowned upon as well. Save it for the Holiday card!
All kidding aside, here’s the nitty gritty in terms of what you need to have with you on test day in terms of photo identification:
- The photograph must be clear enough so there is no doubt about your identity.
- It must be no larger than 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 cm) and no smaller than 1 x 1 inch (3 x 3 cm).
- Your face in the photograph must show you as you look on the day of the test (for example, with or without a beard).
Good luck on Saturday!
