Self-study
Are there any other people who are taking this test one and done or with a significant gap in between? As someone who is lower income, spending $600 back-to-back is not feasible for me. Is this going to put me at a significant disadvantage? I am planning to take my first attempt at this test in August and have been studying since January. Should I push back my original test date? Would a huge gap between LSATs look bad on me? Needing advice!

This won't look bad! A gap between tests is typical, especially if you're taking the time in between to study. As long as you take it when you feel ready, your score is more likely to reflect the effort you've put in, which is what really matters in the end!
Apply for the fee waiver through LSAC with that you can give get 7Sage for $2 a month . if you’re practice exam is where you want it to be then take it also depends how early you want to apply in the cycle . All in all everything will work out
@FutureESQ Unfortunately, I do not qualify for the waiver. But thank you!
The LSAT was traditionally a 1 and done test, its since online administration occurred I think that there's been this push to the extreme number of takes. You should take it when you're repeatedly PT'ing in the range you want so you don't have waste money to take it again!!!!
@maydhak This is reassuring because I assumed it was one-and-done, but have been seeing lots of people planning for a second take before their first one. Thank you!
This is not going to put you at a disadvantage, significant or otherwise, and there's absolutely nothing that looks bad about a significant gap between takes! You're probably already aware of this, so forgive me if I'm repeating something you already know, but you can apply for fee waivers for the test here.
@PhoebeHopp Unfortunately did not qualify but thank you!
