My understanding regarding the difficulty of the tests is that from the older tests to the newer ones RC got harder, LG became more structured in terms of game types, and LR has less conditional logic.

I'm a little confused by the best way to do this as well. I bought all of the LR questions organized by type and difficulty from tests 1-38, but I really can't figure out how to time them. I like Jerrald de Guzman's strategy for the medium difficulty questions, but the hard ones are expected to take longer and the easier ones shorter right?

I think it's safe to say that everyone progresses in their LSAT PT scores a little bit differently, so it may or may not be enough time. My last 3 PT scores were 164, 166 and 167 and my highest ever (about 2 weeks ago) was a 171. My goal is a 172 and I'm a little unsure if I can hit that by October.
From my understanding, the general consensus is that if you're trying to hit that 99th Percentile, don't take the test until you're already PTing there consistently.
Admittedly, I am bad at RC relative to my other sections. In fact I missed out on the mid 170s on my two previous PTs because of bad RC scores. I say this not so that you will ignore my input on this matter, but so that know this is coming from a person who is striving to improve his own RC scores as well.
It is probably a mistake to read the questions first. I don't think you will find any value in doing this with the exception of questions that ask for something explicitly stated (the ones that say something like "each of the following was given as a reason that A is better than B EXCEPT...). Once you do a good number of PTs or RC drills, you will be able to predict what most of the questions will ask anyway. You will probably be asked about the main point, the author's purpose/view, and what someone would most likely agree/disagree with, on the vast majority of passages. The thing is, knowing that you will be asked these questions doesn't really benefit you because you need to understand all of these aspects anyway. Other than that, you will see questions that reference a particular word or phrase, but those questions give you a line number to find the word easily. It might be helpful to know which key words to look for during your first reading, but I still think that you will come out of that with the same answer and less time.
