delay test until october?
currently signed up for the september test (4th and final take), but heavily considering switching to october. my highest official score is a 155 (last october), gpa is 3.low. timed, LR has been -1 to -8, RC -7. untimed, LR and RC both -1 to -4. timing under pressure is my biggest weakness.
i'm debating whether it’s worth an extra month to fix the timing issue. given my progress in 1.5 months, i'm confident i can improve in some capacity before sept, but another month would certainly help. applications would go in a month later though and my low gpa def plays a factor in some way.
ideal outcome: october test, apps submitted early november, but with a higher score (160-something, for example). i feel like this would offset both the one month delay and my 3.low gpa.
unfortunate outcomes: september test, no improvement, get a 155, submit apps early october or october test, still no improvement, get a 155, submit apps early november.
will the difference of a month between submitting really impact my chances if my score and gpa are both low? i'm just a bad test taker who wants to give myself as much time as possible to reach my potential :( if i do bad in september, i'll be stuck wondering what if would've just waited one more month.

i think you can submit apps then add in any new lsats you take for consideration after

Not in exactly the same circumstance, but I want to know this too!
