Should i turn down federal gov fellowship to study for LSAT?

Not sure if I could do both at the same time - my gut says that my LSAT score would suffer.. but maybe having a 9-5 would help me stay sharp for studying?
dep of state/treasury/EPA fellowship is 6 months, pays well (but i dont need the money). also spoke to a alumni of fellowship and heard that it doesnt transition into a job in same agency very well. would definitely be good to fill gap in resume though, I went to school for the kind of work i'd be doing - i also have no work experience (just internships) so could help for getting a legal job after law school. fellowship would be from may to september - making it hard to study for june and oct LSATS.
LSAT practice is going OK but im hovering around 165 right now on practice tests - want to hit >172. if i didnt do the fellowship i could devote myself fully to studying over the next two months to take in JUNE, then have Oct if i mess up.
