A 148 is a completely normal diagnostic score. I would work through the course over the matter of a month or two and reassess then. It's very possible to reach a reasonable score by October if you take studying seriously. It really depends on what law schools you are applying for too. Unless you have a T14 goal, I wouldn't stress out too much.
Remember, you don't have to submit applications until early Spring for most schools. You have time to retake in between then if you don't do as well as you'd like on the October test.
Best of luck :)
Wishing all of you the best of luck! I know so many of us have spent many late nights preparing for (and stressing about) this test. All of this hard work and dedication will pay off! :)

@ Amazing! I hope that will be me soon. I haven't done a wrong answer journal. Do you do it for both RC & LR? What pieces of information do you find useful when documenting the wrong answers?
Yes I do use a wrong answer journal for both.
I use a Google doc and have a table split into four columns with the stimulus (a screenshot of the passage and answer choices for LR and just the test number and passage for RC), wrong answer, right answer and explanation. Every single explanation uses the same structure: "The right answer choice is right because..." and, "The wrong answer choice is wrong because..." The explanation videos are beyond helpful for this.
Before, I would just watch the videos and move on. Actually writing down what I did wrong has been the best for improvement.
Hope this helps. :)

What I had wished I had done for my first LSAT was study only slightly the week leading up to my test. I studied as if I was cramming for a large final exam which made me score much worse than my normal PT score. I would recommend doing little bits and pieces to stay fresh and focus on being relaxed.
I agree!!! Taking it easy this week is your best option. Short drilling and lightly reviewing materials.
Hey! I think this is totally doable with the appropriate amount of effort. I was scoring around the same as you two weeks ago and improved 5 points by doing a thorough wrong answer journal. Good luck :)
You missed Q19!
