Need advice on retake and apply at the same time

I got a 168 in Oct. For the past two months, all my PTs are above 171, so I think I may have a chance to improve my score in Dec. However, I am not confident about that, and I do want start my application as soon as possible.

Provided that I use my current score to to apply for some low T14 school, and complete these applications before the mid Nov, then I take the Dec LSAT.
1. If I get a lower score, will it hurt the applications that already been completed? Will they know my second score?
2. If I get a higher score, can I submit it to the schools that I already applied? Will it help?

Thx!

The Schools will know you scheduled another LSAT date and will not review your application until after you take it. If you get a lower score it will not matter much. If you get a higher score it will help. That is why most of TLS recommends retaking.
