“I'd use the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy to start with, it should cover all the fundamental topics.”
“I'm only on page 85, but I already feel a bit more knowledgeable and confident.”
“I didn't think I could ever achieve a -0 on a Logical Reasoning section on a practice test. When I first began studying, my diagnostic LR sections were about -10 each and would pretty much stay around a -7/-8 even after doing 7Sage's LR curriculum. Something wasn't working.”
“This book has been helpful in the sense that it makes me want to study.”
“This book is truly amazing for Logical Reasoning prep!!!”
“Hi all! I wanted to provide some positive encouragement and advice to Elemental students who are currently in the midst of their LSAT preparation, including those of you who have non-traditional backgrounds and have been out of college for some time.”
“Thank you for the Loophole book it feels like it was written For The Girls in a way that I really needed. I'm smart but like JFC @ conditional reasoning & I hate having a man explain things to me.”
“I actually bought The Loophole back in 2021 — I have the older one, with the old cover, and I love it. Then I tried something else: before graduating undergrad I did an internship in banking, and that didn't go well. So I thought, I need to go back to that goal I had of doing law school, sit down, and read it.”
“The best LSAT book I have ever consulted.”
“I am SO THANKFUL! It's fun, interactive, and SUPER helpful. The best money you'll spend on any lsat prep!!!”
“Your book is pretty awesome, I gotta say.”
“Ellen's passion bleeds through this book.”
“Thank you for writing The Loophole. Your book has been a great help.”
“I will cut STRAIGHT to the chase -- The Loophole has changed my approach.”
“Loophole took me from 149 range to low 160s.”
“Clear and concise. It made me excited to do the LSAT which is a huge feat.”
“Hi Everyone! I'm following up on Sofiane's awesome post to share some of my story, lessons learned, and my gratitude for this community. I scored a 177 on the September test and undoubtably couldn't have done it without you all. This post is a bit long, but there is a lot I'd like to share!”
“Your program has been truly life-changing. I jumped from a 143 to a 169 in just 14 months following The Loophole.”
“It matches the vibe of the book, which I found to be very enjoyable and helpful.”
“This is the best LSAT book I found BY FAR. Get it!!! I'm so grateful to have found it. I studied for 3-4 months using other materials and found that the more I studied, the worse my score got?? This was confusing and demoralizing, and I was considering canceling my scheduled test.”
“I am so excited to continue to dive into my new Loophole book! I am a recovering skimmer.”
“Thank you to this subreddit for introducing me to Loophole in LR. Went from consistent 156 to breaking through.”
“Your book has been a lifesaver for me.”
“Three months into using the Loophole and wow it has been eye-opening and beyond helpful.”
“The Loophole Online is possibly the best thing to have ever happened to me, second, maybe, only to seeing Lady Gaga live.”
“I've never been so comfortable around a teacher/tutor! I wasn't scared to sound dumb or make mistakes, which is important. You can't be uncomfortable because it impedes the learning.”
“I read your book and it was an amazing guide!”
“The Loophole is leagues and bounds greater than 7Sage (for me at least).”
“I ended up just ordering another book because literally... this thing is my lifeboat for the LSAT.”
“It has single handedly broken down what seemed like a wall with LR.”
