No harm in taking 4th time but prepare well before taking. Without preparation the score range will remain the same. Admissions know very well people come from various backgrounds ; some self prepare like yourself, some get private tutoring and score high in one attempt, and some others even get extended time. Most colleges simply take the highest score and care less how many times one attempts. It’s highly unlikely you will be penalized for scoring high (or even low) in your fourth attempt. In any case make best use of your time.
