MAKE SURE YOUR LSAC PICTURES ARE UP AND CORRECT!!!

also does it matter if my eyes aren't looking at the camera?? lol

I hope not....

I mean I'm looking straight, it's just not into the camera lens. Is that how yours is?

Yeah.
I took it with an iphone. Looking directly at the camera on selfies is a skill I haven't mastered. But facing the camera and all that.

ok I'm just gonna leave it. I'm like 99.9999999% sure that doesn't matter haha.

Yea,h I think it should be okay. I mean provided you're facing the camera and the pictures clear and all that, you've met all their specifications.

I've still got tests 61-78 to take so there won't be much spacing. I think the week of the exam I'm only going to do three or four though.

I've got a lot left as well. I'm not even gonna try to squeeze them all in since it's not gonna happen. I guess having some fresh material if I need to retake wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

you have been Pting the recent pts for a while now, so how you have many left?

If you have done 74, how did you find its lr?

I think 12. 13 but I had to use a part of 54 for experimental the other day. and I don't think I've seen some of the earlier ones - 51, 40 and 39. So I guess 15.
eta: just of the more recent ones - 66, 67, 69, 70, 76, 77, and 78. so seven.
I didn't find it too bad. There was one question I struggled with, circled, and got wrong, (still have to look at it) but that was the only one.

which one?

i thought lr2.9 was devious as eff.

4.21
Assuming you mean the about the anecdotes, yeah that was a weird question.

i had 4.21 circled too.

with questions like #9 i tend to run out of time.
did you notice something unique about #24 in the same section?

lol yeah, the proctors are pretty lax, even though the wording of LSAC's emails would suggest otherwise.

[proteinshake]

holy crap we're gonna get our scores by 10/20. I had to wait so much longer for my score for the December test.

And you get 170+s... who are you people?

Transcript updated. I forgot that I took 152/120 credits in undergrad... I guess I got my moneys worth?

Picture is good to go.

Also... June 2010 [PT 60]...LR2 #18

[+] Spoiler

is [A] wrong because, conceivably, some safety features in his car could pose a risk of fatality to others ... i.e. maybe a reverse cam? Kinda crappy question IMO... killed way too much time trying to fight between A & C

#24 I was fairly flustered by too... I think it was a bit of a time crunch. I assume that the correct answer is since it is the one that best encompasses both sides of the statement.

Oddly enough, I only got one level five difficulty question wrong on the PT60 LR. (The answer for Question 13 from the first LR just didn't make sense at the time).

[+] Spoiler

I figured A was wrong because it didn't specifically indicate a risk to life as the conditional does.

[appind]

Haha, guess you just got the email. Just go to the LSAT section on the LSAC website and you'll see an option to view photo.

does your's also display one in color and on in gray?

Yep!

cool, and does your photo fill the whole black box? mine has white space on the right and left sides.

White spacing all around. I used my photo for June and didn't have any problems so you're good to go.

can one use the one used for dec'15 test?

that's the only passport photo i have and it seems like the deadline is in a few hours.

You should be okay as long as its uploaded on LSAC and as long as it still looks like you. Hair is the same, etc etc

it looks the same but i have used it for dec like 11 months ago. i remember seeing a 6-month deadline somewhere but can't seem to find it now

ANYONE IN THE SAME BOAT?

#13 was kind of nasty. I think I spent a minute parsing between the most picked and the correct answer choice. I had originally eliminated the right one, and I've kind of noticed whenever I 'uneliminate' an answer, it's usually the right one. Yeah ... I dunno...

[+] Spoiler

I feel like not updating the safety features on your car is quite reasonably something that could risk your life. I get that C has better wording but I just don't like leaving something kind of wishy washy b/c that kind of crap is what kills me timewise on the test.

It says the photo shouldn't be older than 6 months IIRC but idk how they'd know that.

It says the photo shouldn't be older than 6 months IIRC but idk how they'd know that.

where does it say that? if someone used the same photo in an administration a year ago, then they'd know

hm I thought I saw that on the requirement page but it isn't there.

[appind]

when i go to "view or change photo" page, it shows 1 b/w and 1 color

which one will it be?

It's just there because you can print it either way. you're good.

[Torres1893]

Is the picture supposed to be side ways? I remember when I uploaded it a while back I had to change the size of the photo or crop something.

What @appind said... haha "uploaded July 11th 2012" hmmm...

And, I can't relocate where that requirement is, but it definitely said that in signup

I think the point of it is they want current pictures because they compare your current look (in person) to your driver's license to your LSAT ticket. Some people change/mature so much so I guess that they couldn't tell? Idk. I got a new driver's license just in-case because I was 16 when I got the photo taken and even sometimes at bars they question me because it doesn't entirely look like me...

[Torres1893]

ehh...I re-uploaded a smaller version of the photo just be safe. That seemed to correct the issue.

[appind]

so i didn't much change the picture and kept the same.

don't see any issues, as i don't see the 6 month requirement anymore on the photo req web page

nice..

i took this test on sunday after taking it for real in dec. lr2 was definitely harder than lr1, but i can't believe the kind of questions i missed in lr2 on the real test, almost all from rushing, and one from changing a right to wrong at the last second.

Yeah, I feel like I'm better at LR towards the beginning of the test. I'm going to start drinking some coffee during the 10 min break to combat fatigue.

PT 39 tonight, -1 LR, -1 RC, -1 extra RC, 180. I took a six minute phone call during the LR and tried to pay attention to my friend and the test at the same time, which didn't really work. The one I missed on LR was one that I had circled to come back and look at more closely, but I ended up not having time. I'm getting closer to happy with my reading comp. It's definitely still the hardest section for me, but I'm getting through in pretty good shape.
