4th LSAT in two years

Had no idea the three-tests-in-two-years bar was a thing, and ran full speed into it when I tried to register for a fourth test this October. I know that people on this site are of the opinion that enough is enough, but in the six months since my last test everything has changed for me. I was careless with my other tests, I had no idea that you could study toward a 180, whereas I've been working my ass off and studying in a completely different way ever since I found out.

I really, really had my heart set on taking the test again in October and applying this year. I already applied for an exemption and was denied. Is there anything else I can do? Does it work to create a new LSAC account?

No, either wait another year, or apply with the numbers you have.

This is a terrible course of action. If you register indicating you're the same person, then you already have your answer from LSAC: You can't take the test again this October. If you register somehow trying to cloud your identity, well then that's just another can of worms...

Wait another year. June 2014 you should be okay.

Nothing to do but wait, breh.

Two full cycles of LSATs from the time of your first LSAT.
