Question about different test dates.

Is there any advantage in taking the LSAT on a particular date?
For example, is the September LSAT most popular?

What are peoples thoughts (Law School Admissions alike) on individuals who take the LSAT in December as opposed to September?

Does this make sense? LOL. Hope it does! Ask for clarification if needed....

February is slightly worse since you don't get a copy of the test to review answers.

June is at like 12:30 I think. Or something. The rest start in the morning.

The June test is in the afternoon on a Monday. The other tests are on Saturday mornings. I took June because I'm not a morning person.

September is popular because it allows early applications or a December retake, if necessary. If you bomb December you either have to retake in Feb and apply super late (some schools won't review your application until they get the Feb score) when schools have already filled a large portion of their class/given out scholarships or sit out a cycle.

Take September if you're ready, if not wait until December but realize it comes with the above explained risk.
