I don't think so, you can take it in August if you are ready too, I think October can be a good backup option since the score would be release at the end of October, so if you can submit your application between the end of October and before thanksgiving I think you should be fine!

You have 3 months to improve so don't let the anxiety get into you, be patient with yourself. If you are at 148, I think maybe your foundation knowledge isn't completely strong yet. You might want to focus on accuracy first, I think as your accuracy increase, it will take less cognitive strength for your brain to process the questions, which will allowed you to do it faster. Then you can focus on time. Maybe try untimed drill more and add in some timed drill after. I'm still struggling with timing but I noticed when I'm not under time constraint, it's way easier for me to understand the questions so I'm trying to give myself grace to catch up with that (otherwise I would just feel discouraging to even practice more haha). I think what worked for me personally is a mix between my weakness and a lot of drillings (like a lot of drilling haha), and a lot of reviewing why I chose the wrong questions so I can avoid in the future. I think my understanding increase significantly when I understood why each answer is wrong, so I also suggest try to think why the other answers are wrong instead of focus solely on why the correct answer is right. Hope this helps! I will also take the test in August so I hope we both will do well!

@LSATDemon Well, we are trying to prove that copyright sometimes go beyond its sole purpose, which means it do more than encourage author to circulate their works through financial reasons. B stated that some authors do that without financial reason doesn't prove that copyright "go beyond" encouraging idea circulation.

@dbellonz well, I think there were more thefts back then but they tend to abandon the car before owner notice compared to nowadays, which make its harder to catch them, resulting in less conviction.
