Should I wait to take the LSAT

So I have been studying for the June 2022 LSAT for roughly 6 months during school and have not been able to dedicate as much time as I would like. I am aiming to get above a 170+. I spend most of my time drilling sections, not taking as many PTS. I have gotten a 173 as my highest score on a PT (only once) and have broken into the 170+ range two others times both 172. Right now I typically get the anywhere between a 165-170 on my PTS. Should I wait to take the LSAT in August to try improving my score and using the summer to study? Or should I go for the June test and use my one time look ahead for a score cancellation for first time test takers? I am conflicted because I feel like I am right on he cusp of getting where I want to be and I have three more weeks until the June 11 test. Just wondering what anyone else's thoughts were on this! Thanks!

Ex: today on average more expensive new trucks are bought than new smaller cars which means the average prices paid for new cars is higher than it was 25 years ago when this was not the case. When we say individuals make up a smaller portion of people buying cars (E) we are recognizing that individuals are not the ones making the more expensive car purchases. Thus, individuals might not be spending more relative to their income.

never mind I see the mistake was failing to recognize that "average price paid for new cars increased" did not mean average price of all new cars increased. Therefore, there could be some new cars that are still the same price they were 25 years ago that individuals could be buying.

I am still having problems understanding why E is correct because if it is saying the average price of a car is increasing relative to income, wouldn't that mean that individuals, even if they constitute a small majority, are still paying more than they were 25 years ago? I chose A because if there are individuals in households with more than one wage earner than individuals might be given money from that other wage earner to spend on a car which would ruin the argument that they are spending more relative to their income.
