Hello! I am looking to apply this fall for the Fall 2023 cycle, ideally in October as suggested by a lot of discussions. I am planning on taking the LSAT in either September or October, or both. I started studying at the beginning of May and have seen hopeful progress!

I would like some advice—do I take the LSAT in September and sign up for October just in case, or do I wait until October to sign up for the first time and sign up for November just in case?

I’m thinking of signing up for 2 just because I want to have my application in as soon as possible and if I don’t do so well on the first one (though positive thinking—I’m gonna kill it), I can take the second one and still apply during the earlier part of the application cycles.
