Need Help.

Little background on situation:
I've taken five full LSAT tests in my time. 3 PT's and 2 actual registered exams.
Received a 159 last february. Just took the June 2012 test. Don't really know how to describe how I feel about it. Breakdown like this- 25% I did worse, 50% chance I performed very similar to first test, 25% chance I performed better. Again, these are very rough estimates. I plan on applying to schools like Temple, Villanova, Pitt. Maybe a few "reaches" as well.
But I need help on what I should do with this June exam. Would a score any lower than a 159 seriously (actually by any degree) hurt my chances at these regional schools? Would you cancel or roll the dice on this second attempt?
Secondary question- I plan on applying early September to all of my schools. Would taking the December exam be a good idea since I could possibly leverage a higher score to the schools who have accepted me...schools that I am wait listed, denied?
I'm sorry about all of these questions. My family/friends know nothing about law schools and the admission process. TLS is probably my single biggest resource for all things law school.
