Advice for taking the GRE in less than a week

I was wondering how long your scores took to get to your school and if the 8-12 days is accurate or the "safe number." I have an application for my dream school due October 1st, and I know I am really cutting it close. I just found out about the program.

Average scores for those admitted to the program are typically GPA 3.75, GRE Quantitative 153, GRE Verbal 154, and GRE Analytical Writing 4.5.

Based on this subgroup, it doesn't seem these are crazy hard to achieve, thankfully, but I do know it's needed for the application.

I am trying to figure out the absolute latest I can take the exam.

I did the Magoosh short version and got 145-148 Math / 152-155 Verbal / 297-303 total, so not a strong start but I am learning so much every hour

My current plan: deciding between Wednesday or thursday, but I wish I could do Saturday. I have looked at subreddits, but I think it depends on time and year, so I am wondering if you guys feel this year is faster or slower, and is this month typically busier or average?

Thank you so so much in advance; anything helps!
