On the LSAT how should we interpret the word several?

Some; more than one.

EDIT: Ooh interesting-- just found a definition on Powerscore.

"By definition, several means three or more (but often less than many, which we will cover next.) So, if several party-goers out of a group of nine were intoxicated, several could correctly be translated as three or four. If five party-goers were intoxicated, that would usually be stated as most."

Howdy, Stranger!
