You just took another soil test and you're excited to compare the results to your previous tests to see how much progress you have made since your last soil test and you notice the results haven't changed all that much. Do NOT panic!
Essentially, what you need to know is that it can take years to build up nutrient levels in your soil. You have to remember you soil has been around for a long time so to completely change it's nutrient composition is going to take time. The reason you don't see drastic change in those results is because your lawn was eating what you were feeding it! It seems counterintuitive, but this is a good thing that means you lawn was making use of all that fert you threw down. Your hard work did not go to waste!
What matters most is how did your lawn look last year? Was it green, thick, dominating? How often were you applying fert? If it was every 36 days following the app then feel free to push those applications a little closer and aim for 30 days. Trust the process and keep following that custom soil test program.
Here is a podcast that Allyn, the Lawn Care Nut, did with the MySoil soil testing team that goes over this in more detail:
