Answer 1

Start studying now for the test. You can't cram for this type of exam, so you will want to spread you studying out over months, a couple of hours every other day.

The Princeton books are ok. Personally, I preferred these three books:

1. Powerscore Logic Games Bible

2. Powerscore Logical Reasoning Bible

3. Kaplan LSAT 180

The two Powerscore books are expensive but more than worth it, and they will help you a lot.

You will also need actual tests to practice with, so get them from Law Services (the people who make the test and who are behind LSAT.com). These are the three cheapest ones, each is $30 US:

4. The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests

5. 10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests

6. 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests

If you work through the first three books and the books you have, you would be in pretty good shape in terms of strategies, and then do a ton of the tests from the second group of books. Try to take at least one test a week if you can.
