Phew! Glad to hear that, I think it will be a lot less stress being black and white rather than have to worry about color saturation and the like. This is going to get worse before it gets better lol

Haha yeah, to be honest what I'm going to do is take the passport photo that I scanned on test day and just have it in my bag. Just in case, but I don't think I will have a problem and if I do then RIP.

When I took the LSAT last October I was able to email them my picture beforehand to see if it was acceptable or not. They mentioned you could do this on their website. Is LSAC no longer offering this courtesy photo-check?

I thought I read something on here that says they can't. I will have to look into that, because if possible, that would relieve a great deal of unnecessary stress. Thank you, Jordan!

I tried emailing my picture to them to ask and they said they couldn't verify it, it's up to the proctor lol

That's what scares me the most, getting an A hole of a proctor that fucks with how your picture is. :?

You can print either in colour or b&w. It says right on the admission ticket that colour is not necessary. My shit comes out 100x more grainy if I print in b&w lol.

And yes, potentially getting an A-hole proctor who doesn't understand the quality of my printer is beyond my control, is what I'm worried about.

Is June 2016 the first time they require digital uploads? I didn't have to do this for February.

Mehhh

Ljfl. It doesn't even matter if we get turned away at the test center. Everyone ITT (including myself) is going to get so supremely screwed on RC that the test won't even be worth taking anyway.

I'm referring to the ridiculous lack of RC skills which we are displaying by being confused by this simple photo thing.

Oh, haha. I mean to be fair, I feel like someone has the right to feel anxious about the photo requirement since it's a new thing, and we really don't know if our proctors will give us trouble even if we do everything right. But yeah, we're gonna get wrecked by RC, ha.

That's what I would do. Granted, Im not taking the test till September, but I would bring the ticket, the actual passport photo you took and used to upload from CVS, my actual passport and driver's license. If the proctor gave you issues with all those verifications I would tell him to go fuck himself. You guys should be fine. Just bring an additional form

Yes, I just had mine scanned as well. I will make sure the actual photo is 2x2.

Thanks..

Goodluck!! :)
Wait where are you guys seeing this 2x2 thing?

I don't see it in the lsac emails or on the website
It used to say it in the requirements. Maybe they assume you know a passport photo size is 2x2. That's what you need to bring in the day of the test.

Truth: Kids who debate whether their 2x2 pic is acceptable or not will NEVER earn a 168+.

There was not a single rejection at my test center. And attendees brought phones.
