I know I'm in a tough spot. I decide to take my first lsat without much study while I was in undergrad and scored in the 140s. After that, I decided to work for a few years post-under grad and I improved decently. 160>164>164. My most recent retake in June 2018 was supposed to be my very last one--I was hoping to score in the range of 167-171 which is the average range of my practice tests. At this point, I've been studying for the LSAT on and off for 1.5 years. My goal is to reach 170 but I'm wondering whether I've actually hit my limitations with my test.

I know this type of situation is unconventional on 7sage since most people on here are usually scoring high consistently and only need a few takes to reach their goal. I feel incredibly defeated and wonder if I should just settle for a regional school rather than aiming for T-20s. I'm not applying until next cycle, so I can potentially retake but I'd love to hear honest advice regarding my situation. I've studied with almost every practice test there is so there's also the question of having fresh study material in the event that I do decide to retake a fifth time.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you can offer!
