MATERIALS
1) The Real LSATs Forget tests 7-30. They're way too old (and easy).

	ii) The Official LSAT PrepTests 40 – 54.
2) The Power Score Books

3) I've heard good things about this website which covers the basics. I haven't had the time to check it out so I can't say if it's any good. But you can find out for yourself. If it contradicts what's in your notes, then it's no good.
4) Often, discussion forums will have posts about particular questions. www.autoadmit.com is decent. You can just do a Google search for the question that you're stuck on. Though, nothing works better than sitting there and grinding out the right answer yourself.
So, in summary, definitely get (1). Get (2) if you think you need additional instruction on the approach the games and logical reasoning. Check out (3) since it's free, but I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information on the site. And instead of (4), join the Facebook group "PreProBono" and get together with your fellow like-minded-public-service- inclined students to study together.
STUDY TACTICS – Do the following as often as you can manage (3 times a week would be optimal).
1) Take an LSAT. Start with the older LSATs (Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests).Begin in the morning (do 3 sections, take a 10 minute break, then do the final section). As you're working against the clock, circle all questions which you are unsure about. This means the only questions uncircled are the ones who’s answers you are 100% certain about. Timing Details: It’s good to work with a stop watch and mark the times at the end of each Game/Reading Passage. This allows you to get a sense for which Games/Passages are harder and take longer for you. For Logical Reasoning, for both sections, you should mark your time at the end of Question 10, the end of Question 20 and lastly, at the end of the section. I bench marked my time to under 10 minutes for questions 1 - 10, about 16 – 18 minutes for questions 11 – 20 and the reminder of the time for questions 21 - end.
2) Take a break.
3) Go through both Logical Reasoning sections and scan just the question stems and try to identify them as quickly as you can (e.g. marking "Method of Reasoning","Flaw" or “Weakening”, etc. next to the stems). You should work your way down to less than 1 second per question stem. Go back and slowly check that what you marked was correct.
4) Get something good to eat.
5) Take as much time as you need to go through all the questions you circled. Do not look at the right answers. The point here is to give yourself as much time as you need to figure out each question that you weren't sure about. I mean actually think really hard about each question until you understand them. After this second time through, you may check the answers against your choices. Keep a record of both your first choice answer (under timed conditions) and your second time answer, though they may not necessarily differ.
6) Lastly, go over the questions where your first answer choice disagreed with your second answer. Figure out why you chose different answers. This step is very important because this is where you reveal to yourself which traps you fell for and why.
7) Check your answers and score your exam.
Do this 2-3 times a week, i.e. take 2-3 LSATs a week. That would be ideal. Of course, you may adjust this process to fit your schedule. The underlying point behind this exercise is to force you to get the right answer choices for the right reasons. If you aren't hard on yourself in making sure that you really understand the choices you make (why you chose the right answers and why you chose the wrong answers), then you're just cheating yourself.
