Would it be ok if took the January test for the upcoming August admission? Will I still get a chance at scholarship money? I was scheduled to take the exam next month and apply next month but I don't think I will make the score that I want in that time. Currently I have a 3.8 undergrad GPA and I'm guessing that if I take the test in Nov I will make around a 155. If I take it in January that will give me an extra 2 months to study although not sure how much higher I will make if I wait.

Make sure you confirm with each school what the latest LSAT test they accept is, they usually say this in the application instructions. Also check the regular admission deadlines. I think if you're applying really close to the deadline you may be at a disadvantage. SMU deadline is 3/1. A&M is 5/31. Houston is 3/15.
Personally, I think if the deadline is in March, Feb is cutting it a bit close. But if the deadline is in May or later, you'll probably be okay.
You may want to take the November test and see what happens - and then if you're not happy with the score - you can still submit your application and note that you'll be taking a future examination - then they'll put a hold on your application until the new score comes in. This way you'll at least have your apps in relatively early.
Law school numbers has a new feature where you can see time-based acceptances to schools (only for students registered though which seems a small % in light of the total number of applicants.)

This is really helpful, thank you.
