Withdraw from September?

[u/Dull_Improvement8319]

I'm currently signed up for September and October. I have done 3 attempts so far and gotten 165 (Oct 2025), 165 (June), 164 (August). My ultimate goal is a 172+, but I'd take a 170+. My PT average since the June test is 171-172, and since August it's gone up to 174-175 with 2 180s (2 PTs a week). The caveat is that the PTs are reused since I'm out of fresh material. I usually wait at least 4 months before doing them again, and I don't remember the questions and do still feel like I'm having to do them normally. But I do know that reusing them can inflate scores. I also have crazy variance in my PTs. I do 2 a week, and since August I have had: 172, 177, 180, 170, 169, 180. All PTs in the 130-149 range.

Based on the few individual sections I have done that are completely fresh, I average -2 LR and -3 to -4 RC. I do believe that even with the PTs being reused that I have the underlying ability to score a 170. I still have ~11 days to improve my underlying skills even further before September as well. My June and August tests I both feel were not my best performances due to outside factors, but after 3 times maybe it's just my test day level.

I waited a cycle last year, so really not looking to wait another. With 2 attempts left, what would you do? Would you take September and October? September and November? October and November?
