The problem in the WS is getting your work graded. Finding sample prompts is very easy. On the AAMC MCAT webpage, they actually provide sample prompts for practice.

Unfortunately, right now they're updating the page so they don't have them up.

Kaplans was fine for me...we went over it once in class and did like one for practice...and that was all i did to prepare for the writing sample...ever. And i ended up fine (50th percentile, nothing great but i dont think it matters anyway).
I don't think theres much to know for it except just to get used to the format (the three objectives), and know that you can use hypotheticals if you cant figure out a real example.
I dont think US med schools really care anyway, so unless your from Canada, dont use too much of your time to prepare for the writing sample.
