Hi all; I am hoping to write the test in June 2018 but if I am not PTing where I want by May, I was going to wait until September. How quickly do testing centers fill up? Should I go ahead and book my seat now just in case or can I wait until closer to my tentative testing date to see if I am anywhere near PTing at my goal?
Note: I am just finishing up the CC and am going to move on to phase 2 but am afraid I won't be ready by June because I work full time and can only dedicate around 12 hours a week to studying. A part of me feels like I should book it so I can have more motivation to try and put in more study hours to make it to June but the other part of me doesn't want to rush the process.

I'd be happy to discuss them as well.
me too! I have like 4 hours left in CC (not counting post CC review). I have watched that webinar a few times...but it is still not clear how much PTing to do initially...you have to do at least some because moving to the next phase is based on your BR score...but how much I am not sure to do. I know that I will initially need to improve allot on RC...and so that is where I plan on spending allot of my time in the beginning.

hi - i took mine in Dallas too for December & i think i only registered 2 weeks before the deadline and it was fine. i think you can just keep an eye on it too to see how you feel!! especially if you have flexibility for the testing center
Good to know! Thanks!

I'll probably replay Josh's webinar about next steps after the CC and do what makes sense for my situation at that point. How about you?
same; i think there are a couple other old threads about what to do next as well that I'm going to scope out ... . i was actually looking for that webinar .. do you mind sending me the link if you've found it? :)

@tristandesinor505, I'm also a fan of meal rewards. :) Hoping to be done in the next 2 or 2.5 weeks.

You could check to see whats available now for the February test and that might give you an idea of how booked up June will get. Big cities tend to completely fill up but it’s been pretty back and forth here in Seattle. I once booked around a month before the deadline and the closest Center was around 70 miles away from me. There was technically one within 30 miles but you have to take a ferry to it! Haha. LSAC only guarantees that you’ll get a test site within 90 miles or so (or maybe it’s 70) but you don’t want to end up in that situation. I personally paid a registration, then a test center change, then 2 date changes before finally taking haha. December test cost me a looooot of money by the time I actually took it! But no regrets because I wasn’t ready earlier.
That's a great idea! I'll check that this week.

I'm also in a similar situation. I don't want to rush the process and am a NT student, but I also want a test center to be available when the time is right to take the exam, but I don't want to lose money if possible. Maybe we can figure out some way to collectively celebrate "graduating" from the CC phase to the next phase?
haha! I love celebrations! My husband and I find any excuse to celebrate stuff lol .. our last one was a nice steak dinner downtown at the one year mark of him quitting a job he hated :-P
I digress... when do you finish? I'm aiming to be done by 1/1

They're strict too. I registered late for the Dec test, and the only test center open was 30 miles away in San Francisco so I booked it. The next day a seat opened at the test center I wanted to test at and they charged me $100 to transfer. I called and asked about it but they stuck by their guns. I paid the $100 because it moved the test center 25 miles closer to me but it sucked!!
I planned to take mine at UNH but the location nearest to me was Suffolk University in Boston, MA. I rented a hotel for the night before because that morning commute is something like an hour and fifteen minutes with traffic. It was fun but expensive and sort of overwhelming. My bedroom was practically a closet.
I was pretty cozy in there, though. lol best part is it was a 2-minute walk from testing center.
Sorry to hear yours sucked haha

Im in the same boat as you! Hoping to test in june but finding the time to finish the CC and start pting is hard, thanks everyone for the suggestions! Im in a smaller city so i was going to wait until March to make the decision, or until i hit a score i want!
I totally feel you; working full time is not helping. We have several days off this week since the department didn't give us raises this year they felt guilty and let everyone have the week off lol so I'm spending 8 hours a day finishing up the last bit of the CC. If it wasn't for that, I'd still be behind on my goal of finishing by January.

aww man! good to know ... i might as well go ahead and book. I already have it in my mind to take the test more than once so if I schedule June maybe it'll give me the extra oomph to squeeze in more study hours to try and be PTing at my goal by then. My only hesitancy is the LG fool proofing. I suspect this to take many months which is why I am nervous I won't be ready by June.
