Experienced September LSAT takers, should I cancel?

Already have a 165 from Oct 2013. Was retaking for a 168+, mainly a 168 and was averaging about a 169 up until the test. For instance I got a 169 on the preptest from last June.
And all was going well......
UNTIL I HAD TO GUESS ON 4-5 QUESTIONS ON THE LAST BOUQUET LOGIC GAME WHICH WAS MY LAST SECTION OF THE TEST.
I know I did good on both logical reasoning sections, possibly 24/25 and 23/26
Reading comp is a total gamble no lower than 21/27, maybe 25/27
And logic games, I felt great on everything until last game where I could only get the first question based on deducting answers that violated the rules.
Yet I could be totally wrong about the way im reading things, which is always a possibility.
So should I cancel and take the 165 and run? Or should I take a gamble and hope that some of the answers to the last logic game were D (my guess answer lol).

nah if this is how you're feeling about the individual sections you may well have picked up a couple of points, and even if you didn't you probably didn't do much worse than your previous score, in which case it doesn't matter

I wouldn't recommend it, you never know what the curve will be, so there is no real reason to cancel your score. Law schools pretty much just look at your highest score, so you should be fine either way. You stand to gain if it is an increase and nothing is really lost if it's a decrease, so I would just wait and see what happens.

All right. That's kind of what I'm thinking. Thanks.

Don't cancel. There's nothing to lose here, and a lot to gain.

Can I ask how do you know that those are the two logical reasoning sections that are counted? How do you know that it is not the 2 25 question sections?

Based off a lot of replies I've seen on tls, quite a few people were guessing on the last few bouquet questions. I would keep the score.

Keep it. I didn't know how to LG 4 on the June test and blindly guessed on 4-5 questions. I ended up only missing one. You never know how your luck will play out!
