I bought the Princeton Review book before I took the GRE and did way better than I did on the SAT (for which I did not prepare). If you are taking the June LSAT, you might find their LSAT book helpful. The only thing it lacks is practice tests...you might want to get some more of those. I can't stress enough the importance of preparation. Simply being familiar with the test format and types of questions asked will help. You can be sure that most others taking the test with you will have prepared. Don't be naive like I was with the SAT and assume that you can't really "study" for these tests.
Beyond that, if you do have a disorder that needs treatment, (i.e., depression, ADHD), you should definitely take care of that now. It will make a big difference for you. I'm not sure that you can do much to improve concentration and reasoning in a person with no known disorders.
