Hi everyone. I've been prepping for the October LSAT as diligently as I can (I work full time as well) and am concerned that I may not be ready to hit my peak by the time October 5th comes around but am not certain. I've started to entertain thoughts about taking the LSAT in December. A few questions though:

1) I have a LSAC fee waiver, so if I were to register for the October 5th LSAT, does anyone know if I were to withdraw by the withdrawal deadline of September 13, how that would work? Do I still have my full fee waiver for an exam then?

2) Has anybody with a fee waiver used it to change their test date when they haven't felt ready? Did you need to pay extra?

3) Opinions on if my concerns are normal, legitimate, or a bit far reaching as I still have some time before the exam.

4) How badly is my application off I were to use the December LSAT score?

Any help or feedback would be appreciated.

4) According to Law School Expert, Ann K. Levine it won't matter as long as you apply early January and no later. Even XO poasters impart this prescient advice: "the added points will be more important." Lastly, if you are thinking Yale Law School, they don't care.
