The LSAT is not a test you can "study for". It does not test your knowledge about a specific subject. Unlike the MCAT, which requires an extensive background in biology, there is no prerequisite course of study for the LSAT. The LSAT tests your ability to think analytically and logically. You can only practice for it.

The LSAT is five 35 minute multiple-choice sections with a 10-15 minute break between sections 3 and 4. These five sections are followed by an unscored 30 minute essay question. There are three types of questions: Reading Comprehension, Logical Reasoning, and Analytical Reasoning. There will be two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension Section, and one Analytical Reasoning section that will be scored. The fifth section is not scored and is used to test questions for future use. However, this section is mixed among the scored sections and could be any one of the three types of questions. You never know which section is the experimental section until after the test!

Here are some sample questions of each section types with the answer and an explanation.

There are several expensive private tutors and test prep companies such as Kaplan and The Princeton Review, however, I found the best method to prepare for the LSAT was to take several old tests in test conditions (timed in a library).
