Yeah I'm in a similar situation, definitely retake. Just having the time pressure and taking the tests again will keep you in the flow of the test. Aside from that I would drill any weaknesses you've noticed along the way. Whether it be a whole section or a question type making small gains makes a big difference.
That's what I did. Retake. For me I found that it did not affect LR scores at all (and I got a lot of the same questions wrong!), it seemed to help somewhat for RC (the passages were easier and faster to read) and helped a lot for some LG, but none for other games. I think that on average it helped my score by 1-2 scaled points per test. And I was shocked by how little I remembered!
Just retake then starting with the tests you took longest ago... Ignore the scores completely and just focus on the learning process... And make sure you do an excellent clean copy BR and get your BR scores up to 177 plus or minus 3.
For scoring, don't count questions you remember answers to, multiply the number you got wrong by 50% and subtract that number from the # questions in the PT. Might result in a slightly lower score than your usual average though.
I would just retake them. Make a note on the questions that you remember the answer to, and adjust your final score based on how you see fit. I usually subtract 2 or 3 points from my retake score, depending on how many questions I remembered
Retakes. Take the score with a grain of salt, but it's still excellent practice.

You'll also have PT76 to work with in a few weeks! I would do retakes now and save the 3 fresh ones for closer to test day.

Awesome. Thanks guys.

Edit: I meant add 50%
