They check your lisence though. Or passport or whichever you use. Does this ID have the same name written as your ticket? The short version?

it has to match exactly or else you may be screwed.. like Kewl said, does your form of ID have your name shortened? if so, def call them

Hey guys thank you again.

@rijudev4485 I have taken the LSAT already though and I have my 2 scores, so there's not checking of passport/license. They checked my license with my longer version and they let me in (twice).

@eitamasaki236 my form of ID has the longer version. I am just concerned about if there may be problems with my CAS report when I apply to schools. And yeah, I will just call Tuesday.

Call them on Tuesday and ask but if your name appears even slightly different on ID versus the ticket you're pooped.

Thank you. The thing is, the name on my past tickets and on my LSAC account/ID are exactly same though. That's why they let me take the LSAT.

I'm just concerned because they're both a shortened version of my full name.

LSAC/LSAT First Name Concern!

Hi everyone.

I am quite concerned at the moment.

So my full first name is "Michael Jonathan". However, I just realized that my name is displayed as a shortened version: "Michael Jon" on my LSAC account and on my LSAT score reports. I believe when I made my LSAC account, I was not able to insert my whole first name.

Should I be concerned about this when I submit my law applications or do you guys think it is ok as they will match my LSAC account #? Also, should I submit a name change form to LSAC?

Thank you.
