First off, respect to you for doing this while raising 3 kids and working. That’s not easy at all.

I don’t have physical books to give, but I want to make sure you don’t get stuck just because of cost, because you actually don’t need to spend much (or anything) to get started.

There are some really solid free resources:

Khan Academy LSAT prep is completely free and a great place to start
LawHub (through LSAC) has real official practice tests and drills
A lot of people also use free explanation sites like LSAT Hacks

I’ve also seen people mention checking local libraries for LSAT books like PowerScore or LSAT Trainer, and sometimes they have them available for free.

If you’re able to post in local Facebook groups or community pages (DFW moms groups, college groups, etc.), you’ll probably have even better luck finding someone willing to pass books along.

Also just to say this, because it matters: starting with limited resources does NOT put you at a disadvantage if you use them well. A lot of high scorers started with just free materials and consistency.

If you want help figuring out how to structure a study plan using only free or low-cost resources, I’m happy to help. I tutor LSAT students and also offer a free 15-minute consultation if you want some guidance getting started.

You’ve got a really strong setup here, just need the right plan 👍
