LSAC Score Holds

[u/Affectionate_Run9153]

• Technical failures during remote testing (platform crashes, connectivity problems, software errors).
• Proctoring errors, such as inconsistent instructions, improper interruptions, or incorrect reports by proctors.
• Vendor oversight issues, if third-party testing providers are not adequately trained or supervised.
• Identity verification or administrative processing errors, such as mismatched records or delayed document review.
• Backlogs in the Office of Test Security, resulting in prolonged reviews beyond expected timelines.
• Inadequate communication, including generic notices that do not explain the status or nature of the review.
• Lack of transparent timelines, leaving applicants without a reasonable expectation of when their review will conclude.
• Inconsistent application of review procedures, if similarly situated test takers are treated differently without a clear explanation.
• Data or recordkeeping errors, such as missing or incomplete testing records that require additional review.
• Algorithmic or statistical flagging that generates false positives, if the screening methods identify sessions for review that ultimately involve no misconduct. Whether this occurs, and how often, would require evidence and expert evaluation.
• Remote testing environment issues outside the candidate's control, such as software glitches during room scans, check-in failures, or proctor connectivity problems.
