  I'm aiming for December but I'm going to take the October anyway. Maybe I'll have a good day. I'm only applying this cycle, so I figure I might as well use my opportunities to take it.

  Taking in October and get a shitty score
  

  Sounds like you don't want to take it yet and you want some encouragement
  
  December is ok!!!!!
  
  Take it easy ... No reason to torture yourself over this.

  Depends on if the schools you plan on applying for take the average or take all of your LSAT marks into consideration. If just the highest, I don't think it'll hurt you to go for October. But, if you genuinely don't feel confident to write in October, then don't. There's no pressure to!

  When is it too late to reschedule to December? I was just looking and more schools than I thought consider average test scores. I'm really not going to be "Ready" in October. I figured there wasn't much harm in trying, though...

  Hey, I feel you Zrkaren... completely. June was my "October" for you, I definitely wasn't ready and just wanted to see what I would get. The school I want to go to has rolling admission and doesn't take the average, so I'm debating on whether I want to torture myself and drag it out until December, or start taking care of myself now, sleeping, not stressing as much, and see if that makes a difference.

  I was also thinking of taking it in October, but it really doesn't make sense to waste an attempt like that. I'll take it in December when I'm ready, and if the sky is falling that day and I mess it all up, I'll have two more shots next year. I don't wanna have to deal with the pressure of being on my last attempt next year just cause I felt it would be cool to try out October.

  I almost considered chickening out but I realized I missed the date to reschedule to december so I might as well at least try my october date and luckily my top school looks at your best lsat score if you take it twice and only begins averaging scores if you take it 3 or more times.
