Is it worth taking the LSAT if I expect to score in the mid 150s?

Hi - I'm scheduled for this week's LSAT, but I'm not scoring where I want to. I'm targeting 165, and though I've gotten close on a PT (163), my average is more like 157. I can't decide if I should withdraw or just give it a shot.

I have a good job that I like, but I am worried about the future. So, I definitely don't need to apply this year.

My question is, since I pretty much know that I won't be applying this Fall, is it better to withdraw seeing as I am expecting to score in the mid 150s, about 10 points below where I want to be? Or is that a decent enough score that I should just give it a shot?

I certainly don't expect to end up with one of the big law firms or anything - just hoping to be able to establish a solid career for myself.

Either way, I'm planning to take the November LSAT to see if I can improve.

Hope this type of question is allowed here!
