The very best preparation for the LSAT is to practice on actual tests previously administered. The publications through LSAC, such as this one, provide actual exams and answers.

To anyone studying for the LSAT, I would give the following advice: don't fall prey to the fears about the LSAT. You could spend two thousand bucks or more taking courses and buying prep materials. Instead, buy several different LSAT prep books that are reasonably priced. After practicing with them, buy real LSATs and practice on them under timed conditions.

I read about four different prep books that cost less than $20 each. Then I worked through about eight or ten real, recent LSATs under test conditions. I had been out of school for more than two years and was happy with an LSAT score above the 90th percentile. Should you find yourself struggling with the prep books and real LSATs, perhaps a course or individual instruction is right for you. The LSAT score is critical, and if good enough you can land a scholarship from a top tier school. Don't assume, however, that you must spend $1500 in preparation because "everyone else is doing it" and you are already behind. Law school will be demanding and require much study, so get used to it and put in the time requried to score well on the LSAT.

The triple prep and the three or four most recent LSATs available are your best bet, once you understand how the test is structured and have practiced a few strategies (including DIAGRAMS).
