Ok-I will be in the minority here..
But i think you should plan to retake- but apply anyway..I assume you are set on going to a top 25 or so school, but there are MANY good t3/t4 schools out there with your numbers.. Do not assume that you have no chance..I've said this alot on here, but getting into a top ls does not guarantee anything..Yes, it's pretigious, but i know many t4 grads who run their own firms...
If you apply, and get rejected, at least you will be ready for the LSAT..HTH..

Well, pretty much the only thing that is holding me back from ls is the LSAT.. I know I can do better than i test (146)....I've been out of school for quite a while, so I find it's hard to get get into "test mode" if that makes sense...I look at the other attempts as practice...

You're an inspiration, blonde. I support your cause 100%. Study hard! You can certainly do better. And don't hesitate to ask questions - whenever you have them.
thanks! Everyone has been unbelievably supportive on here- I am so glad I found this site!!  I consider this my LSAT family ...You guys can all "relate", whereas my friends have no real clue about the LSAT hell (all they know is, "it's a test- just study" LOL-- we here at LSD know what the LSAT is all about..

With a 3.3 and a 155+ on your next test, you can probably get into an ABA approved law school. I am sure you will be fine. Seriously consider going to a school that is not ABA approved. It's not as if you can't find work in that state. If I remember correctly, California has like 17 of them. Best of luck!
I apologize in advance, I'm not trying to pick on just one person here. However, these types of sentiments seem to be coming up a lot on this board. There is NOTHING wrong with a 3.3 and a 155. These are decent numbers that will get you into plenty of (ABA approved!) law schools. The OP with a 142 may have to do some out of state searching, but if it's REALLY a dream there's no reason you can't make it happen.
This board is not representative of applicants, a lot of the people here have scored exceptionally well. Please do not get discouraged and think you can no longer go to law school because you don't have a 3.8 with a 170. Please do not think that you can't practice law unless you go to a T25 school!!! I have many friends that went to T3 and T4 schools and they have great jobs and great lives.
Well said!

thanks everyone:).. I just couldn't live with myself if i didn't give it one more shot.. I don't believe 146 is the best i can do...And at least i will know after the 3rd time that i would have to stop.. But hopefully my school will admit me to their spring term so I don't have to retake .. Either way, I have a plan..

I've decided to re-take the October LSAT while my spring application is pending for a local t4 school..
I am either really committed to being a lawyer, or am a massachist.. I haven't decided yet..
I also have to keep this secret from my family/roommate/friends, as they have begged me not to do this again...(That's why I am telling people on here)
This time I am going to get those bibles everyone talks about on here, and I may check out testmasters180..
Let the games begin!!

Thanks for all the feedback. My gpa is 3.3 amd I went to Rutgers. I do have anxiety problems with standardize exams but I know I'm not stupid. You can say someone is stupid just because they scored low on a silly test. I got into grad school, so I cant be dumb. I did well on the GRE. I think I put too much pressue on myself with this test. I took a powerscore full prep course and was scoring in the 150s on the practice exams. I know I can improve, I think it was bad timing and anxiety.
I think anyone with an average level of intelligence can score at least in the high 150s if he/she has studied properly. Maybe ADDs are an exception.
I don't know if I necessarily agree with that..I took several IQ tests over the years, and I always scored between 118-120 (which from what I was told was higher than average IQ), and unfortunately never scored past a 146 (with tons of prep) That's not to say though that I chose the right route of LSAT prep (I took Kaplan).
