I took the Princeton Review but it is expensive. If you can get your hands on old Princeton Review materials that would be more well rounded than looking at Kaplan alone. Study from past LSAT tests. They are testing a way of thinking, logic games alone do not test this.
Learn the wrong answer types, because if you know what the wrong answers are it’s as good as knowing why the right answer is right. See http://www.testsherpa.com for some stuff on reading comprehension for the LSAT test. There are only a few types of wrong answers and many have to do with tone or scope (for example, extreme language). So if you can eliminate them, it makes it a lot easier to narrow it down to the right answer. Besides, with no guessing penalty, if you can toss out 3 wrong answers, you’re sure to get half of the points even if you have to toss a coin.
Typically wrong answer for the LSAT Reading comp section are:
Bad tone words and extreme language
Distortions (connecting a couple of things in a way the author did not)
Not in the passage, or from another paragraph
Outright ontradictions
When you practice, focus on how the questions and answers are written, not on how the passages are written. The LSAT is a sport — you’re there to show your thinking skills not to learn new stuff from reading passages.
