Taking the LSAT exam Date

underdog_9-1-1-1-1

Hi All,

I was thinking of taking the November exam, but I am early into my prep. Going through the fundamentals at the moment. I ideally want to study until December so I can get the highest score possible - optimistic about the study process. However, taking January will push out my apps so they are late in the admissions process. Wanted to see if anyone had some advice in terms of the timeline, and if its worth the risk taking the latter so I can score to my potential. My goal is to hit a 170 and my initial diagnostic was a 150 (with half the exam left blank because of time constraints).

As always, I am open to any studying advice or any other knowledge someone may want to shed! Thanks for reading!
