I took the June test and scored a 170. I've decided to retake because I lost 4 points due to test center craziness (we had to move mid-section and I didn't finish that section).
I want to do more preparation for the October LSAT so I don't lose my edge. But ick, I've run out of prep materials. I did every test you can buy, plus all the difficult games & questions from Cambridge LSAT. I've started working through the ATLAS free logic games, but is there anywhere else online I can get free materials? Or what test service company (e.g. Kaplan, Princeton Review) best mimics the newest LSAT tests with their materials? I'm on a tight budget, so won't be taking any LSAT courses.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Going up from a 170
Amazon is cheaper for buying the individual preptests. 4 for the price of 3.
I took June and am retaking in October - decided to reinvest and buy Next 10, Powerscore books and about 16 preptests.
If you're gonna retake you want to make sure...

Re: Going up from a 170
Be sure to review and redo what you've already done (a la Pithypike).
Also, I've written some of my own LSAT-style Logic Games (LinkRemoved). Here's a list of the most recent PTs on Amazon.
The old GRE exams (back when they featured LG) have some linear/ordering/sequencing games that are very similar to LSAT games.
Some of the books that claim to have non-LSAC games either actually contain real games with the topics changed (so you wouldn't actually be seeing anything new) OR they are non-LSAC games that are unrealistic/error-ridden. Might be worth doing the unrealistic/error-ridden ones. If you've done every real game, you'll probably have no trouble spotting the errors while getting additional practice.
Also, you might want to write some of your own games. It's fun, and you learn a lot.
