Answer 1

It would be extremely difficult for anyone in high school or middle school to understand the questions on the LSAT.  You need several years of college to develop critical thinking skills, speed reading skills, and other skills in order to start studying for that exam.  You also need a large body of knowledge regarding the law.  I would suggest heading to your local book store and reading through one of the test prep booklets for the LSAT ... there are tons (Cliffs Notes, Barons, Princeton Review, etc.).  See what types of questions are asked and if you can understand them.  I would suggest taking these tests one at a time.  First study for the PSAT (sophomore year), then the SAT (junior year), and after you've been in college for 2 or 3 years start thinking about the LSAT.  In order to prepare for all of these exams the best thing you could do right now is to take a speed reading course.  This will teach you how to read large quantities of material, retain the information, and apply it when needed.  Start practicing these techniques with your school work now and you'll be a pro by the time you reach the LSAT.  Good luck!

Answer 2

honestly you shouldn't be thinking about the LSAT at this point. focus on your school work and the SAT for now. start preparing for the LSAT during your sophomore year in college would be sufficient enough, a lot of people take the LSAT at the end of their junior year in college.

if you just want to get familiar with the LSAT, like the material you will be tested on and the test format, etc., there are plenty of books you could check out at your local bookstore.

also, you really don't need any knowledge in law in order to take the LSAT. the LSAT simply tests your ability to read critically, use your logic to solve problems (Logic games), and logical reasoning. It's all about LOGIC!!! so it would be good to start practicing your skills to read critically, be an active reader is very important for a good LSAT test taker.

also a lot of college students who later go to law school are political science majors, but there are also business, econ, philosophy, sociology, communication (almost any major in the humanities and social science categories) students who pursue a law degree after college. so what you want to major in is something you could think about for now. but I still suggest you to focus on high school and the SAT, LSAT is something you should worry about later when you are in college.
