Addendum LSAT Question

I am not sure if this question is even necessary but I'd like to know what people think.
I am taking the LSAT one more time next week (January). I expect about a 152-154. This would be an improvement from a previous try of a 146 (I took this test in a difficult environment). I secured a hotel room for this exam so I am confident now.
My LSAC GPA is a 3.66. I am not targeting the highest schools but I want to attend this Fall.
I enrolled in a ABA Paralegal Certificate program last year in January because I am interested in it as well as wanting more exposure to law and if law school would be something I wanted to pursue. Within a few short weeks, I knew this was what I wanted. It's been in my mind for many years but I never felt ready to pull the trigger until a few years of work post-college. Anyways... the question...
If I scored a 152 for example, would I be able to write an addendum. The reason I ask is because I began my studies right after the first semester (the program is basically two - 15 credit/5 classes per semesters). Obviously during my studies for the LSAT, I was also doing the full time course work. I completed the certificate last month.
Could I write an addendum for a slightly lower LSAT score due to the conflict of juggling both? I have a solid undergraduate GPA of 3.66 and received a 4.0 GPA for the paralegal certificate. (10 classes, all A grades).
I ask this because honestly, the LSAT is not my strongest attribute, however in a more real world setting involving actual cases, legal research, documentation, case briefs, memorandums, etc I clearly excelled. It was not easy to balance the full course load, the assignments and projects, with the studying overall - though I did it!, but is this a worthy addendum? I believe it is but idk. I know I have a solid foundation with legal information already but idk how addendums work.
Sorry for the long "sob" story but I really would appreciate any advice. I have uploaded the transcript of the certificate classes to the CAS system as well already. Thank you in advance!
