I'll be taking the Oct. LSAT and prepping over the summer, so I know the feeling. It's nerve-wracking. But you've got a decent amount of time before the test. If you're going to take the Oct. 2012 LSAT, then you ought to register early to get the test review center you want.
I don't know how long you've lurked through the boards, but here's some of the advice that I've gleaned (and when you prep, take a look at TLS resources like Pithypike's lsat study schedule).
Generally, the ideal study schedule ought to emphasize different things at different times: (i) accuracy, (ii) speed, and then (iii) endurance. So the first step is actually being accurate in answering questions. This means reading through the PowerScore Logic Games Bible and the PowerScore Logical Reasoning Bible. Read through it. Do all the question sets. And then drill through the question types. But don't worry about time constraints. Just shoot for accuracy. For example, after studying logic games, try practicing a bunch of questions that are "basic linear games" (don't worry if you don't understand the lingo now, you will later).
After you've gone through question types for logic games, logical reasoning, and reading comprehension, you'll want to go for speed. So take timed sections of logic games or timed sections of logical reasoning or reading comprehension.
And then endurance means taking actual LSAT PrepTests (which you can buy off of Amazon as well). Do at least 10 PrepTests for good measure.
BUT YOU MUST REVIEW ALL YOUR MISTAKES. To review your mistakes, write down why you picked the wrong choice, why that choice was wrong, and why the right answer choice was right. Review is so important for all of this.
Hope that helped a bit!
