Reddit reviews The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning

Hey u/wowmuchinfo, don't worry too much about previous knowledge of the law! The LSAT is a test of analytical, reading, and logic skills. There's tons of helpful information in this sub's sidebar, including this Intro to the LSAT,

What system of studying makes most sense will depend on what your style of learning is. Given that the test is now administered on a digital tablet, I would recommend some kind of online study course (I used 7sage and personally loved it, but other programs out there include the LSAT demon, and some others discussed on this past post). There are also free prep tests and resources from LSAC and Khan Academy. And I've seen great things about tutors posted in the sub, there's this (fairly old) directory, plus some searches could probably steer you towards someone.

I didn't buy any books, so truly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but I've seen people here rave about loophole, the powerscore logic games bible, and the LSAT trainer. Lots of posts here recommend buying physical books of prep tests (see below) but I would not do that, as with the switch to the digital format, practicing the test on paper won't set you up as well for the real deal.

Studying for the test is generally broken down into three activities: curriculum (reviewing the test structure and questions), drilling or sections (doing sections of the test, timed or untimed), and prep tests (taking practice tests under timed conditions, followed by review.) Generally, the first thing you'll want to take a diagnostic test to see where you are now. Usually, people use the test from June 2007 as their diagnostic. Here's the PDF, but if you buy any of the programs, a digital tester should be included, and you might want to wait and do that. What you do from there will depend on what program you're focused on. Once you've taken your diagnostic, you might want to visit 7sage's predictor to see what your target score is based on your top school. My last tip: save as many of the most recent tests (i.e. those numbered in the 70s and 80s) for later in your studying. They are likely more similar to what your test will be like.

The LSAT is a sticky wicket, but with time and practice, it's conquerable. Good luck!

Interesting. Trying to drive up demand through scarcity, perhaps? Maybe the book isn't selling as well as all the reviews would suggest...or maybe it's selling TOO well.

I gave it a 4-star review on Amazon if you're interested.

TLDR; it's solid, but suspiciously overhyped.

I could only find it available for purchase on the American amazon website. https://www.amazon.com/Loophole-LSAT-Logical-Reasoning/dp/1732749000/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=loophole+lsat&qid=1567657711&s=gateway&sprefix=loophole+&sr=8-1
