Materials:
Powerscore LG Bible
Powerscore LR Bible
SuperPrep
PT 1-65; these exams I have purchased from Cambridge LSAT.
Manhattan LSAT Reaching Comprehension Guide
June 2007 LSAT (PDF)
LSAT Itemwise (Disclosed Feb. exam from the late 1990s)

Process:
1. Comb through PS LG Bible and do un-timed drilling of game types using exams from 1991 to 2001. Review & dissect questions and answer choices.
2. Review PS LR Bible and do un-timed practice by question types from 1991 to 2001. Review & dissect questions and answer choices.
3. Read and study Manhattan LSAT Reading Comprehension guides. Devise question types templates and practice RC passages from 1991 to 2001. Review & dissect questions and answer choices.
4. Begin time practice of exams 2002 to 2005. Write out explanation's for both right and wrong answers, and aim for 33 min. time limit per section.
5. Begin fully simulated exams, 2006 to 2011, with strict 33 min. time limit and additional experimental section. Redo all games, reading comprehension passages, and Logical Reasoning from this time period until scores are flawless.
6. Will be reading dense academic journals two hours to an hour a day to ensure I won't be blindside with awkward RC passage types and will be using a dictionary to learn any words that are unfamiliar to me in passages.

Make sure you don't burn out; some high scorers improve their numbers after easing off of a grueling schedule. Track your progress and alter your routine as necessary. If you find areas of weakness, don't hesitate to toss out the schedule for a few days so you can target specific areas.

I neglected to note that I am sitting for the October 2012 exam. I am not taking the June exam.

Yeah...he's got all of the right materials, although I would recommend that he also peek at Kaplain Advanced early in his study. Op should additionally know that the earlier tests won't be as useful for the test he will be takking, so he should practice with those early in the game and then make sure that his last 20+ practice tests are the most recent ones: 43-67.
