Will pushing back DAT a week affect my application?

[SSONG_324]

Hi, I know it's already kind of late to take DAT, but I'm considering pushing back a week :/
I'm supposed to be taking it on August 17th (which is about a week from now).
But I feel like having another week will be really really helpful, and luckily there's spots available on 8/21, 24, and 27.
Would pushing back a week make a lot of difference in terms of application/chance? (I have LORs, transcript, PS ready / 3.62 gpa)
I know it's better to take it early as possible but I noticed some schools are accepting unofficial scores.

No one really knows how this cycle is gonna go. But, you should not take it until you feel READY. If you don’t feel ready, then don’t take it. It’s better to have a later better score than an earlier worse score.

Probably not a big deal, an increase in dat score by one or two points will be a big deal however, good luck!
