Jewish boys prepare for Bar Mitzvah by getting ready to be adults and fulfill all of the 613 commandments that Jewish adults need to do.
Since their parents have been training them for years to do this, what is left is those things that only adults can do - and not boys under the age of Bar Mitzvah.
Practically speaking they usually learn to chant a Torah reading portion in public, learn to say the blessing when being called up to the Torah and learn to put on Tefillin, 2 black boxes worn on the left arm.
They will also prepare a short discourse to say at the festive Bar Mitzvah meal.
Joke: The stress should be on the Mitzvah, not the bar. (Actually, Bar means "son of" and Mitzvahis the commandments - referring to the kid becoming responsible for his own Mitzvah observation.)
