So, I've been studying for the LSAT since February but only got 7Sage in mid-April. While I've seen massive improvement, I just hit an all-time high this past weekend (FINALLY breaking the 170 barrier!) and I think with another month or so I could score that on the actual exam.
I'm scheduled to take the July LSAT-flex this coming week, and the deadline for August is July 15. I don't want to take the October since I'm hoping to be getting my applications out by then. I guess I'm wondering if there's a disadvantage to prematurely signing up for the August test? If I score my highest I would try and back out of the exam unless, for some reason, that's a huge "no" to schools. I've been super anxious about it and feel like having the August as a safety net would help but am worried of any unanticipated consequences I may not be thinking of.

To my knowledge, there's no penalty for signing up for the August test and backing out if you get a good score from the July Flex. Well, the penalty is the $200 you won't get back, but in the big picture of things, for piece of mind I would go ahead and sign up for it. That's what I did
I don't even think law schools know if you withdraw. I believe law schools only know if you cancel a score, or if you signed up, did not withdraw, and you didn't show up.
