Good advice all around. There are lots of options. Personally I took about two months to study a couple hours a day (I was laid off for the winter, so I had tons of time) and did as many practice tests as possible. It's important to do the actual LSAT tests, not the imitation ones, if you want a good idea of where you stand.
One thing I would really recommend before you go to law school is to take a realistic look at what you want to get out of a law degree. If you have thoughts of working for the top dollars at the top firms you need to realize it's a very small percentage of lawyers who are in that position. If you're considering going to the US you pretty much have to be at a top 10 law school or at the top of your class at a lower ranked school to even get an interview. I was a bit naive about the whole thing before I went to law school, things have worked out for me but it's not as simple as many people think it is.
BTW, I found one of the most important things about writing the LSAT was going into the exam relaxed and with confidence. A lot of people beat themselves by cracking under the pressure.
