Opinions on testing centers filling up

Somebody is probably also in this boat. I took the November test and feel pretty ok that I got a goal score. But who knows? I want to register for the January test to secure a good testing site (live in NYC...:some are dreadful), but I don’t want to burn 150$ if I drop out because I got a plenty good enough score for my goals. (Also, LSAC isn’t offering a 100% refund for November test takers like they have in the past)). So here’s the question: anyone have experience with a good testing center closing on them? I called LSAC today and they said the testing center I want (Queens College) has 300 seats left. I’m guessing that enrollment is going to skyrocket the day scores come out. Anybody else monitoring January testing centers?

I wasn't able to test where I wanted for the September test. I had to drive to a city a little more than an hour away. I was lucky enough to have a friend who lived there and was also taking the LSAT, but it could have really sucked. I think that if you were PTing consistently in your goal score range and you feel good about test day, it's probably okay to not register. If it would give you a lot of peace of mind to register, I think it's worth the potential of losing the money (because it's not really lost- it gave you that peace of mind).
