I took a couple of practice tests and my score improved 3 points there wasn't a whole lot of room left though
With regard to curricula, there's basically a whole "branch" of LSAT courses that descend from Testmasters. Both Powerscore and Blueprint are former Testmasters and having read PS books and gone through instructor training with the other two I can vouch for their approaches all being very similar. I think BP's games book is better than the PS games book, but BP doesn't have materials for arguments and PS does (I don't think TM sells their stuff standalone yet). Or you could ask around and see whose local instructor comes recommended , since it might be worth getting a few hours of tutoring in lieu of a class (which has all the pitfalls mentioned above).
The LSAT reading comp and GRE reading comp are similar, but the arguments and especially the games are their own animals so you can't rely on GRE experience.
Also, I know you already rejected these replies, but don't go to law school. (If you can break 170, do teach the LSAT, it's a fun job and I wish I'd done it longer).
