Thank you so much for sharing this! I have been browsing this site for some while now but your post makes me feel the need to say something. I too have taken the Sep test and underperformed significantly, getting a 170 despite an average PT score around 175. Before anyone says anything, I will admit: this is already a great score that many people dream of, and it's not even that much of an underperformance. Nevertheless it feels difficult to deal with, especially since (a) this is already my second take and I will not have time to prepare and take another round of LSAT this year, perhaps never. (b) all my co-LSAT-taking friends have worse scores than mine, so I can't exactly go around whining and crying in front of them. While I appreciate your courage (and that of many people here) to retake in Dec., personally I have decided to not let my scores define me and apply for my dream schools anyway.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: you are not alone in underperforming, and even if you don't get a higher score, this doesn't get to define who you are or what you will achieve later, with respect to professional career or not.
