This post is about LSAT test dates for the 2012-2013 admission cycle (PDF) (June 2012 - February 2013).The October 2012 LSAT is the first Saturday in October once again.
The December 2012 LSAT is the first Saturday in December once again.
The February 2013 LSAT is the second Saturday in February once again.
Below, I've included some thoughts about what a late February LSAT test date means for you - whether you're taking it the February 2012 LSAT or February 2013 LSAT.

For February Test-Takers
Taking the LSAT this late in the cycle was less than ideal already, so you really didn't need it to be a week later. When the LSAT test date moving a week later, the score release date also moves a week later. The February 2012 LSAT's scheduled score release date is March 7th, 2012. Even though LSAC generally releases scores a few days early, they don't release February LSAT scores a full week early.
The especially-bad news - some law schools have March 1st application deadlines.
This means a February 2012 LSAT or February 2013 LSAT score won't do you any good for that cycle if your desired law school has a March 1st deadline. You need to look into your particular law school's application deadlines to determine this sooner rather than later.
If you're set on applying in the upcoming cycle (and especially if your school has a March 1st deadline), I'd recommend taking the LSAT in June or October to give yourself another test (October or December, respectively) to fall back on.
