166 in Sep --> 172 in Feb --> 171 in April.

I'm bummed because my average score (around 13 PTs since my Feb test) was a 177, with multiple scores hitting 180 and only hitting below 174 once. I was so confident going into April, but I feel test day nerves got the best of me - I had one LR section I didn't even have time to review flags for, when I usually have 10 minutes.

What do I do here? Does retaking again and keeping a plateaued score send adcoms a message that I'm just trying my luck regardless of a lack of progress? Would a 173-174 score be meaningful atp? Can I expect to overcome whatever test-day problems I have with a June retake?

I have my registration paid for (after a panic from that very nasty April exam), so I have 24 hours to decide. WWYD??

    What was different on test day? Were you surprised to get your scores or did you know when you took it that you weren't doing well? Do you have a plan to avoid the same issues that occurred on the test? I can't speak to admissions (I don't do adcon, just the actual LSAT) but do you need higher than 172 for your schools?
