Meet Ellen Cassidy.

Ellen wrote the book, literally. The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning is recommended across r/LSAT and has shipped tens of thousands of copies.

But Ellen isn't just an author. She still tutors students 4-10 hours a day, but there's only one of her. She built Loophole Online so every student could get her complete methodology, not just the few who can book her calendar. Same strategies, same frameworks, same results, now at scale.

Her mission: teach the world to read and think.

Frequently Asked Questions

Loophole Online is the complete LSAT prep platform built on the Loophole method. Both LR and RC, 400+ video lessons, 87 workouts, 60 homework routines, a 5-stage prep map, and review tools like Camo and the Wrong Answer Journal that exist nowhere else.

No, not at all. You can dive into Loophole Online and start right away. The book is a wonderful starting point for the foundational Logical Reasoning methodology, but the course takes you so much further: it covers both LR and RC, packs in hundreds of video lessons, and walks you through all five prep stages, right up to test day. I do reference the book throughout the course, so it's worth keeping a copy on hand, but you definitely don't need to finish it before you begin. Wherever you're starting from, I'll meet you there and guide you all the way to test day.

Most platforms are a question bank with video explanations. That is the Learn phase, and it is where they stop. Loophole Online teaches a different way to read the test, then takes you through Translation, Accuracy, Speed, and Perform, with tools like Camo Review and CLIR answer keys you will not find anywhere else.

Plans start at $69.99 every 4 weeks. Book readers also get a free Book Portal tier.

No free trial. The first 4 weeks are the trial: sign up, do the work, and if it is not for you, cancel from your account settings.

Yes! You can sign up any time at new.theloophole.com and get instant access to the full platform. Already have an account? Sign in there too.

Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel anytime from your account settings. Your access continues through the end of your current paid period. No partial refunds, but you won't lose any time you've already paid for.

Cancellation via account settings takes effect right away. Note that if you email to cancel it will take a little longer to go through, so it's not your best bet if your renewal is coming up soon.

Both Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. The book was mostly LR. The platform covers RC just as deeply.

Yes, absolutely. Every timed exercise on the platform runs on your accommodated time, not just the standard 35 minutes. Sections and full practice tests all have one-tap presets for 35, 53, and 70 minutes, and you can type in a custom time for any other accommodation you've been approved for. You can also save your test day timing in Account Settings, so every PT loads with your accommodated time already set instead of you resetting it each time. And your analytics are measured against your own accommodated time and your own past performance, never against a standard-time curve, so your pacing data reflects your test day.
