Should I retake?

I just got my scores back for the August exam and scored :
Chem/Phys 127 (79%)
CARS: 125 (58%)
Bio/Biochem: 126 (67%)
Psych/Soc: 128 (86%)
overall: 506 (71%)

I have a 3.8 overall gpa, and 3.8 science gpa. I have a bunch of hospital volunteering, I have a lab research position, and I'll be a certified EMT by the time I apply. Do you think I should retake it? I'm applying for the 2017 cycle in June so I could either retake it in January or May but it's my senior year, and I am very busy and don't think I'll study as much as I did the first time 🙁

The true answer is that it depends on your state of residence, your application profile, and the schools you are targeting. There is no way to make that choices without more information. But you can answer this for yourself: "Would you have repeated with a 28 or 29 on the old exam?"
