honestly Kim, in this short space, all I can tell you is to spend a lot of time on it. Focus. Do all the Bibles and as many of the PTs as you possibly can under testing conditions, do every practice LG book you can (whereas with RC and LR you don't need to do anything but the BIble sand the PTs and maybe one LSAT 180 book or seomthing)
give yourself a lot of time to practice and retake if you need to. DO NOT underestimate the value of being familiar with your testing center. Take it at your school if you can. Otherwise check out the place A LOT before you take the test. See if you can even get in there to take an LSAT the weekend before.
And once you get down to -2 or -3 RC after you read the RC Bible (and only then) --> throw out everything you just learned that you can (some knowledge will be subconsicous now and that's what you need) and just read VERY SLOWLY so that you will barely need to look at the passage again.
Going slowly is the key to owning the LSAT. Go slowly on LG setup, read LR passages slowly and definitely read INTENSELY and SLOWLY on RC passages.
Also, while you're studying try to read things outside of your usual reading list (scientific american, financial times, and maybe some social science magazine if you can). Take a philosophy class if you're about a year before your test now.
Take in June.
