What prep book would you recommend in order for me to make this jump?

I have already gone through the mcgraw hill lsat prep, LR bible, and am half way through the LG bible.
LG Bible is going to give you the biggest boost most likely, depending on how many you are usually missing on each section. How many LG questions do you usually miss a test?

Grab a bible and pray?

Honestly if you've gone through LG and LR bible and since the difference between 169 and a 170 is usually only 1-2 questions, I would say it comes down to not making a few stupid mistakes...

You could easily boost your score by 2 to 5 points then. Drill LG like your life depends on it until your consistently scoring -0.

I have no experience with it, so I can't comment. But I can say that if you haven't finished the Powerscore LG Bible, that is by far the #1 thing you can do, in my opinion, to boost your score from 169 into the 170's.

I'm in a similar situation, only I'm getting -1 on lg, -4 on lr and -6/7 on rc.

I've read the LR and LG bible, and I've done about 13 PTs. Besides doing a thorough review of all the questions I got wrong, what else can I do to improve on LR and RC? I'm finding it especially difficult to improve on RC

Once you finish the LG bible you will have learned all of the techniques that you need to help you, it's just a matter of doing sections to drill them into your head and then tons and tons of PTs. I don't think you need another full study book.
