it depends on what you mean by on and off studying, and how much of the foundation you already have under your belt. if you haven't done much drilling before, 2 months is probably not enough. it takes time to internalize the foundations and then get good enough to execute them consistently and under timed conditions. it also depends on how much of a score increase you're looking to achieve. if you started with a 155 for example and you're looking for a 170, September is not enough time, November is likely too soon as well. but it all depends on the individual and how fast they pick up the right strategies and concepts.

I have all the foundations for lR and RC down I'm trying to get my LG together.
i am currently studying 9 hours a day. I can push it to January but i feel like my chances for duke will be pretty slim since it's so close to their deadline. I got a 148 on my test.

you might want to consider delaying by a year to get your score up then. Duke is rather competitive so to get within their LSAT range, I think you'll need more time. Also, I would analyze how you study because 9 hours a day is a lot, you're going to burn out. It sounds cheesy but quality over quantity is crucial when studying.
