I am booked for my first test date six weeks from now. While I hope to score 720+, I plan to take it a second time if I don't score as well as I'd like. That said, I have a very particular test date in mind (three weeks after my first test) because my calendar gets very busy after that and I know I won't be able to commit the time I need to keep up the studying momentum. Am I allowed to book a second test date before I take it the first time? Are there any downsides to doing so (aside from the $250 test fee and cancellation/rescheduling fees if I don't go through with it)? I just want to have it on the calendar since I expect it will be a popular test date (a Saturday).
And to be clear, if I score much below my target score on my first try, I will reschedule the second test to a later date; if I almost meet my target score and think I can do better with a little bit of studying, I will keep the second test; and if I meet/exceed my target score, I will cancel it.
Just want to make sure there isn't anything I'm missing. Thanks!
