Should I cancel my score?

Hi,
I think I might have posted in this in the wrong section b4 so reposting here:
Graduated from Georgetown in 2008 as a transfer, Degree Granting GPA - 3.67, Major GPA 3.85, Cumulative GPA (including prior transfer credits) 3.9.
When I was in College I signed up for the LSAT but in the middle of working, RA, finals/senior thesis ect. didn't go through with it and didn't cancel and received an absence (regret that a lot!).
Since then I've had 2 years of work experience on political campaigns (press), at a political consulting firm and in corporate philanthropy/political affairs.
I live in LA now and would like to stay in California - my top schools are UCLA and Boalt.
I am planning on also applying to USC, Hastings, UVA, Stanford, NYU, Columbia, Georgetown, George Washington (wanted to give myself a range of reach schools/safeties ect.)
Took an LSAT class and felt pretty good about reading comprehension and LR but consistently had a very tough time with logic games. On my last four practice tests I got 165, 165, 168 and 166. On most of those tests I missed 5-10 on games and 0-4 on each of the other sections.
On test day I feel like I had a very bad games section - I misdiagramed a rule on a seven question game (as a result I think I got most or even all questions wrong on that game) and rushed the others (not sure if I mostly got those or mostly didn't). The other sections felt about the same as normal.
I feel like there is a definite possibility this score will be beneath all 4 of my recent practice tests. Then again I am usually hard on myself.
I am assuming I will be retaking it in October.
So here is my question -knowing what I know - with the schools I am looking at - should I cancel this score this weekend or let it ride and take it again in October?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
