I am only a 1/3 done with the CC at this point and am really concerned I won't be prepared for the June LSAT.
However, since this is the first year the July LSAT is being administered, and it is a non-disclosed test, I am also weary of taking my chances on a completely "experimental" test date. At the same time, I am unsure about the September LSAT cutting it too close to the early decision deadline for my top law school in November. This will also be my first time taking the LSAT.
I want to score really well for scholarships and I fully intend to apply this fall for SY 2019 (I went straight to my Masters after UG and graduated last spring and worked on a fellowship since. I am ready to move on in my career and go to law school so I can finally practice what I've been studying for).
Should I just go for June and retake in September if needed, or prepare longer and take my chances in July or September?
Looking forward to hearing your opinions!

I'm considering taking July as a last chance scenario.
If I get 175+, I'll reapply next year. If not, I'll go ahead with my plans to matriculate to one of my safety schools this year (barring the unlikely outcome that I get accepted to one of my dream schools this cycle, late in the game).
I wouldn't be too scared of delaying until September if I were you, @ . You will have the potential to score much higher by then, and if need be you could retake in November (which is still not late—just not early). I think rescheduling June for September is the right call. Don't take July. You'll kick yourself for taking a non-disclosed administration if you don't get the score you want.
Also (and I know I'm providing unsolicited advice here—sorry), ED is usually a bad decision unless it is NU, WUSTL, or BU where ED = full ride scholarship. Otherwise, you're just ruining your chances at significant financial aid.
Fair advice, thank you! I really am torn between spending more time prepping or leaving the September as a back up open. I'm apprehensive about the undisclosed nature of the July LSAT, which I agree might be a source of frustration if I don't get the outcome I want.
Also, I'm considering early decision for this school because it's my dream school and I really don't know if I have a shot at it otherwise. They do offer full-ride scholarships for it / any outstanding applicant in general. Some forums had a consensus that these lucky recipients typically have a certain GPA and LSAT, and as I have the GPA, my goal is to get my LSAT score to meet that criteria as well.
