Loophole Online is a comprehensive LSAT prep platform created by Ellen Cassidy, author of The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning. The platform covers both Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension through 400+ video lessons, 87 proprietary workouts, 60 homework routines, and a 5-stage prep map that takes students from foundation to test-day readiness. Most LSAT prep platforms stop at the Learn phase. Loophole Online is the only platform that goes beyond into Translation, Accuracy, Speed, and Perform stages, with features including CAMO review, a wrong answer journal, and CLIR answer keys. The platform is priced at $49.99 every 4 weeks, and every Loophole book comes with a code for a free 7-day trial. Among tutoring students who reported their scores, 67% scored 170+ and 95% scored 160+, with an average score improvement of +20 points.

We Get It
The LSAT can feel impossible. It's not.
You've read every Reddit thread. You've tried the tricks. You've stared at a logical reasoning question wondering why none of the answer choices make sense.
Here's what nobody tells you: the LSAT isn't testing how smart you are. It's testing whether you know how to read — really read — and think through arguments with precision.
That's a skill. And skills can be learned.
I'm not here to lure you in with the promise of quick and easy test prep tricks. I'm here to teach you to read and think at a level that will serve you for the rest of your life. You might fall off a few times, but once you get it, it sticks.
The Loophole gives you the conceptual framework — how to read arguments, spot the loophole, and think like the test makers.
87 proprietary workouts, 400+ training videos, and a 5-stage prep map turn methodology into mastery.
Students don't just learn tricks they forget. They build skills that raise their score — and stay with them for life.
The Method
Not tricks. Not shortcuts. A real methodology.
The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning changed how people think about the LSAT. Recommended by students on every corner of r/LSAT, it introduced a fundamentally different approach: instead of memorizing question types and applying tricks, you learn to actually understand what you're reading.
Loophole Online takes everything in the book — and goes further. It covers both Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension through a structured, 5-stage platform that takes you from building your foundation to performing on test day.

Inside the Platform
Built different. On purpose.
Not generic practice sets. Each workout is a proprietary exercise I developed through years of 1-on-1 tutoring — designed to feel like desirable objects, not homework.
Organized into training blocks and mini-camps. Watch me break down every concept with the clarity that made The Loophole a phenomenon.
My proprietary review method. Wrong answers come back mixed with decoys — you can't just cross off the wrong one. It forces real understanding.
Every LSAT question, personally tagged by me. Filter by type, difficulty, and the CLIR framework. No other platform has this.
Looks like an email inbox. For every miss: write why you got it wrong and what you'll do differently. "Girl I don't know" sends it to The Island for daily review.
Track your progress across every stage. See exactly where you're strong, where you're leaking points, and what to work on next.
What readers are saying
Success Stories from our Students
“I just got into my dream law school!”
The Loophole's mentality was incredibly refreshing. I was no longer focused on a goal score, but just doing the best I could! You armed me with better strategies and gave me the much-needed confidence boost to pull through when I retook the LSAT! It really felt like I had a friend cheering me on. Because of your book, I just got into my dream law school, UNC, with an amazing scholarship!
“I knew my LSAT journey was approaching its end”
Before I finished reading Chapter 1 of The Loophole, I knew two things: 1) I need to find Ellen, and 2) my LSAT studying journey is approaching its end.
“I took the April LSAT and got a 175!”
I often felt like other test materials were implicitly brushing me off when I didn't understand answers or why I'd missed a question, and often had awkward or forced understandings of the LSAT, whereas your book felt like you'd engaged deeply with the test and students' challenges to offer strategies, frameworks, and common failure modes.
“THIS IS WAY FREAKING BETTER!!!”
I have used the LSAT Trainer, 7Sage, Powerscore, and Blueprint. Per the headline, my LSAT journey has, until 2 weeks ago, sucked. I am only on Chapter 8 out of 12 and I have already seen a huge improvement in my LR score. I was missing 12-15 before reading it and I'm already down to a -6. If you're struggling with LR, READ. THIS. BOOK.
“No guesswork — just results”
Using The Loophole has been the first time, I think ever, that I feel as though I'm working through an actual, comprehensive, no-guesswork-involved approach that guarantees results, rather than aspires for them.
“PUT YOUR TIME HERE!”
I paid $950 for Princeton Review and it felt like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. THIS is so easy to understand and already has taught me more in 25 pages than the Princeton Review did in 3 months. Her systems of translation and the CLIR have REALLY helped me understand what it is I'm reading. If you're struggling with LR, READ. THIS. BOOK.
“She made me believe I could do it”
It is truly a remarkable book, not only for its strategies but also because your tone and delivery make the reader believe that they can beat the test — at least, you made me believe that I could do it.
