Double down on LSAT registration?

Does anyone know whether you can signup for BOTH June and October or do you have to cancel one before you can register for the other?

I'm asking because I'm currently registered for June but it seems unlikely I'll be scoring in my desired range by then. DC area testing centers fill up fast so I want to reserve October, if possible, right now. I'll see if I'm scoring in my desired range by May 10. If not then I'll cancel June and do it in October.

Also, I believe I have to cancel the June test by May 15 at the latest or it will be counted against me? Do schools know if you cancel the test? Any advice appreciated.

Don't take it if you're not ready, but yes you can register for both at the same time. I got a LSAC fee waiver and registered for the same ones as you. Best case scenario you can cancel your registration for October if you get a good score in June.

Sweet, how did you get the LSAC fee waiver?

This. It is difficult to get, but if you do it is definitely worth it.

You can qualify by income and send in last years tax return.

Yep, this is exactly what I did. Signed up for both October and December. The area I write in fills up quickly (3-4 months before the actual date), so it was necessary.

You only get a partial refund, but it's totally worth it.
