LSAT prep courses are the bomb! First, they teach you how to master the different types of logic games. When I started studying, logic games were my worst section on the LAST. When I took the exam, I only missed a couple of questions in the whole section. I attribute that to a great teacher, terrific course, and my love of studying them.
Second, there are a lot of tricks in reading comprehension that can improve your timing and your results.
Finally, the best way to improve your score is practice, practice, practice, in a test like setting. I took Kaplan and they had a study room where I went for a few hours each day when I wasn't in class or working. It was nice b/c it wasn't as social as my university library.
As far as poli-sci goes, I don't think it is important at all. After thinking through all of my friends in law school, I can only think of a handful at most who majored or took poli-sci classes. Take something that interests you or is associated with what you want to do in life. My friend was a biochemistry major and is now a patent attorney. She loves her job, loved her major and did very well in law school even though she had a science background and wasn't used to the essay format of the tests. If you are majoring in something in the sciences, make sure you save GE's in the liberal arts to take essay classes.
Good luck!
Edit to add p.s.: I met my boyfriend who I dated for my senior year of college and all through law school in my LSAT class. Look out for those hotties!
