A few general tips for the LSAT, in no particular order:
1) Be very sure to write down the time you started at the top of each section. You don't want to have to rely on being able to see the official clock.
2) On practice exams, don't be too worried about timing them carefully at the very beginning. Sometimes it's better to just do some tests without worrying about time constraints so you can learn the format of the questions. Obviously, you have to do a lot of tightly timed tests before the real thing, but early on in your practice, doing untimed tests is fine.
3) Take as many tests as humanly possible. There are dozens of released ones. Do them all, seriously. Nothing else you can do will help your score as much, in my experience. And, of course, go over the wrong answers.
4) Take practice tests in noisy areas like coffee shops rather than in tomb-like libraries. That way if, on test day, someone's coughing or make a lot of noise, you'll be used to taking the LSAT under those conditions.
5) Remember that all questions, hard or easy, are worth 1 point. This means taking an inordinate amount of time on any one question (if it causes you to rush or not complete other questions) is a bad idea.
6) Try to "cut time" on sections as you get more practice. Take, say, 30 minutes on a games section rather than the allotted 35. This will make you so fast that, on test day, you'll have no trouble getting done in time. Of course, this isn't something you do on your first practice tests.
