  The only downside is that you'd be blowing one of your three takes. Many people retake once or twice, so you might end up regretting that blown test.
  
  I found that taking practice tests with a study group really helped prepare me for test day. You might consider doing this instead of taking a real test!

  taking with other people does definitely give a different atmosphere than a PT alone somewhere even if theres people around... though the only downside is blowing a take it is a huge one as you never know ur future... theres countless stories of people doing not so great on first take, same/barely better/worse on 2nd and killed a 3rd... in ur case u would not have that third option while knowing ur first has no chance at a score u want

  So glad you asked instead of just going for it. Please, for the love of all good things, don't do this!!
  
  There is another detail about February that hasn't been identified yet: it isn't disclosed. Whereas for the June, Fall, and Winter tests you get to see your test questions, your answer sheet, and all the rest of the LSAT goodies, if you take in February, you get nada!! You get your score and a receipt! How can you even know which sections you need to focus on if you don't get any data? Were you nervous and blew the first section? Tired and blew the last section? Had to pee and lost yourself towards the end of section 3? Did you mis-bubble...or do you just seriously suck at XYZ section?
  
  You can't answer any of these questions from February! Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the reason I was told never to take February.
  
  June is a short 6 months away. I can guarantee you that about a month and a half in, somewhere around Valentine's day, you'll start to think that even June might be too soon. Just keep your head in it and you'll kill it. No need to rush the pain
  
  Have fun studying and good luck!

  Kaplan does them... while I would not study Kaplan's material even if I were paid to do it, I think there isn't any harm in sitting a free test... locate a Kaplan center near you and ask them about this.
