You should without a doubt take the test again. I have never heard of this "sciarc" place, but any self-respecting institute of higher education would surely be concerned by such a poor performance.

The schools where I visited generally stated something along the lines of 600 and above being a basic benchmark, but they don't have a set minimum and would consider lower GRE scores with a combination of strong portfolio, gpa, letters, essay, etc.

One institution mentioned that anything under 450 would "raise eyebrows" but wouldn't necessarily be a death knell. That said, with scores in the 300s, yes I think it would be good to retake the GRE and get some of those test prep books with CD-ROMs and online practice tests.
