M$1. Find a prep course with a good reputation. There are literally hundreds of LSAT prep courses available, some of which have stellar records for improving scores and others which are nothing more than online money-making schemes. Before paying for a course, read reviews and ratings, browse online materials, talk to previous students and research instructor credentials.
2. Choose a class format that best suits your needs. You can take an LSAT prep course in a traditional classroom setting, online or in the form of customized one-on-one tutoring. Which method you choose depends on your learning style, study habits, schedule and skill level.
3. Familiarize yourself with the structure and content of the test. The LSAT is comprised of two logical reasoning sections; an analytical reasoning section; reading comprehension; a writing section; and an unscored experimental section. Unlike most other standardized tests, the LSAT is skills-based and primarily measures critical thinking skills rather than knowledge about specific topics. You will be expected to organize thoughts; solve logic games through deductive reasoning; determine the purpose and point of scholarly reading passages; analyze arguments; and process seemingly disparate facts simultaneously while determining how they're interrelated.
4. Take a practice test before the class to establish a baseline and determine where you need the most work. Don't panic if your score is low. The point of the prep course is to raise your score by providing you with knowledge and tactics for answering questions correctly and writing persuasive essays.
5. Utilize all resources available. Attend classes or make-up sessions if you miss, do all homework, participate in classroom discussion, take every practice test you can get your hands on and ask questions.

M$So I guess what you're saying is that you do not have first hand experience.
According to a forum at top-law-schools.com by Ken, there are three names that consistently on top when it comes to LSAT preparation, this are Testmasters, Princeton Review, and Blueprint. He further emphasized the Testmasters has excellent instructors and rigorous programs.

That site looks terrible. I really wouldn't trust them to give me the best help possible. Do you have any first hand experience with these type of companies? Why this one over any other?
the curriculum was great. you get every single released lsat spread over 5 very thick books. we learned the lsat in and out to the point where you know how to approach anything and everything the test throws at you. there are about 25 classes of 4 hours each, and there are a numbered of proctored exams on top of that. there are also question/answer sessions before each class to go over homework. and they have a ton of resources on their members-only website. markups for nearly every game and reading comp ever released, and tons of audio and/or video explanations for logical reasoning problems. if you miss a class, they have audio lessons that you can do to make it up.
my teacher was hilarious, and really vulgar. it worked great to keep everyone interested and working, but there were like two people who were really offended, so if you are routinely offended you might want to go with one of the more white bread companies. they pay their instructors really well, so apparently they're all pretty damn good.
they're only in california and ny though. they have a streaming video course that people seem really satsified with, so you could do that remotely, but I can't speak to it first-hand. as for the other companies, and this is all hearsay, what i've heard is that people are generally satisfied with testmasters and powerscore. princeton review is supposedly better than it used to be (which was apparently just awful), but they're still sort of overpriced and subpar. everyone I've met who took kaplan says avoid it like the plague. but like I said none of that is firsthand
if you can, you should def take blueprint, imho

M$This test is one of the critical factors in law school admissions. Because of that, one of the most important tips anyone can give you is "study." Admissions committees place a lot of emphasis on the test and it is next to impossible to get into a top-rated law school with a low LSAT score.
