Do I recommend Official LSAT Prep Materials over the non-official variety? The answer is YES unless your choice is, as it may be at some point, between an official LSAT with no solution available or a non-official variety with a solutions available; I would give the one with a solution a try.

The LSAC publication (Also on the internet) The ABA-LSAC Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools ($26.00)
is sine qua non for anyone attempting to do a serious search for an appropriate law school. Purchase the edition that comes out sometime during the summer before you apply to law school.
It seems that every year, this publication comes out later and later. I can remember when this publication was promised in May and delivered in June. This year (2012), LSAC is saying end of August or beginning of September. I am not a gambler but I am putting my money on September (not necessary the beginning of September). This book has time value and should come out by late spring not lat summer.

Producer of the LSAT. The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) are the producers of the law school LSAT test. The only fully reliable LSAT prep materials for the LSAT are the publications of the LSAC. These publications include previously-given LSATs Tests. Consider non-LSAC LSAT prep material only if the problems in this material seem similar to the problems in previously-given LSATs and understandable explanations are provided for these problems.
Keep a detailed record of your progress with previously-given LSATs Tests. This includes the date you took the test, the date LSAC gave the test, your score (a number between 120 and 180) and, for each section indicate the amount of time you spent (at least thirty-five minutes) and the number you did correctly. Also keep a running total of the average of your last five tests taken under LSAT test conditions. Very likely your "real" LSAT test score will be several points lower than this running total.
For all LSAT-type problems that you attempt, if you do not obtain the correct answer or if you obtain the correct answer with a lucky guess (for example, you narrowed down the possible answers to two), attempt (with no time limit) to do the problem correctly.
PREPARING FOR THE LSAT is familiarize themselves with test directions and question types, practice on sample tests, and study the information available on test-taking techniques and strategies. Although it is difficult to say when examiness are sufficiently prepared, very few people achieve their full potential without some preparation.
You should be so familiar with the instructions and question types that nothing you see on the test can delay or distract you from thinking about how to answer a question. As a first step, you should review the descriptions of the question types in the and in the test preparation section of this website. Also simulate the day of the test by taking a practice test under actual time constraints. Taking a practice test under timed conditions helps you to estimate the amount of time you can afford to spend on each question in a section and to determine the question types for which you may need additional practice.
The University of Kentucky College of Law wisely recommends making good use of the copies of actual, previously administered LSATs sold by LSAC. The University of Kentucky says: "Prepare for the LSAT by taking practice questions over and over again until you are familiar with the types of questions asked in each LSAT section. Start by reading the sample questions in the LSAT booklet [See the next topic below] for the three LSAT question types (logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension) and the explanations for the correct answers. Then take the complete sample LSAT in the booklet without timing yourself. Grading the sample test will give you an idea of which sections will give you the most difficulty on the actual test. Then take sample questions over and over again, comparing your answers with the correct ones until you have a sense of the logic behind the test and how to approach each question type. Follow that up by taking individual test sections under timed conditions. We recommend that you get to a point where you can complete a section, in the comfort of your own home, in 30 minutes or less (you will have 35 minutes per section on the test). This will give you some additional time to use when taking the LSAT to get over your nerves, ... , etc. In the weeks right before the test, take complete LSATs under timed conditions to build endurance. The LSAT is like an Olympics for your brain - only careful, strenuous preparation over a long period of time will train your brain for the rigors of the LSAT." The recommendation to get to a point where you can complete a section in 30 minutes or fewer will be overly ambitious for many.
Southern Methodist University Pre-Law makes the well stated statement, "During practice sessions you must get used to working faster than you are comfortable in order to become comfortable working faster--approximating actual conditions is exceedingly important."
