I loved her the moment she said "Hi!!!!!!!". Energetic people rock!

I absolutely love how excited and passionate she is about the LSAT, I have her book and it's so informative and has helped me so much!

great suppliment for the book. Thanks for this!!

Wow I just purchased her book two days ago! Her personality matches how much fun her book is to read. Definitely helps!!

You guys are really giving me hope... I could not believe there are geeks out there for the LSAT like this !!!! I thank God for you guys... THERE IS HOPE FOR ME!!

I'm going to dedicate a full month to this book. This is the biggest blessing that I think is going to help me jump in my score. I've been wondering why when I review lr the entire passage was something completely different than what I was understanding. Thank you for this video. Thank you thank you

Her personality really comes through in her book

Ellen's book has been tremendously helpful for me in my LSAT journey. I highly recommend the book!

Thanks for all these videos boss! I love your channel

I ordered her book. I admire her passion for the LSAT and this interview she gives is extremely helpful. Thank you both!

Awesome conversation! I do not have her book YET but after hearing this interview I'm convinced that it will do me great use to learn about her strategies and apply them. It sounds like it's exactly what I am having trouble with and was on the lookout for a good LR resource. Thanks Steve!

Definitely agree with what she said at around 14:13. Ive heard some people recommend reading the question stem first and I can’t say I agree, tho obviously not everyone tests/learns the same. I find that reading the Stem first interrupts the process of coming up with a natural presupposition. Coming up with good presuppositions is probably the most important skill in LR, as it essentially allows you to answer questions accurately within the time limits. I think that when you already have the question stem in mind before you read, you read the stimulus in a “discriminatory” way that interrupts the active reading process. Instead of reading the stimulus for what it is and reacting to/challenging the text, you’re essentially scanning for specific ideas to hopefully answer the question. I think this is particularly troubling for defender assumption questions, find the principle, and weakening types

I just bought Ellen's book.....hope it really helps me....LR is the bane of my existence. LOL

Ellen is a shining star in a world of dark(i.e.) Pandemic.

Thank you so much for this. This helped me out a lot

First- thanks for these interviews! Truly appreciate the dedication and love for the sport of LSAT. Wondering if there is an average recommended time it takes to complete Ellen's book? Trying to figure out my study schedule asap. Thank you!

awww i love her energy

22:40 I noticed that a lot of the logical reasoning can sometimes seem to have the silly logic that you find in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I try to remind myself that the logic in the LSAT is from a fantasy world, but the 'rules' of logic are still mostly the same in that fantasy world.

Steve, how many of Ellen's recommendations, i.e., meditation, cutting out the fluff, reading better, did you apply when you took the LSAT? By the way, Steve, what was your score?

Steve do you recommend diagramming every conditional statement and quantifier statements, should we memorize these rules ?

One of the issues that I seldom see addressed is how to develop an intuition to answer questions in light of the fact that to do well you have to average ~1:20 mins per question. There's no time to do a systemic analysis of the stem and the stimulus - it has to become obvious which, in my opinion, its akin to developing an intuition about what is right and wrong about the question.

Switching to stem first has allowed me to save a couple minutes on invaluable time. That alone is worth it imo

I wish I had known about this book before!

I love this.

I got her method but disagree on reading the stimuli first before the Q stem. It's a waste of time and brainpower to freaking analyze the argument and finding the "loopholes" only to later realize it's a MP Q. It's simply bad strategy for folks who aren't masters like her, which, i presume are the majority.

I need her LG book and I need it now

Did she say she had another book she was working on, a games book? Thanks

ellen Cassidy is the GOAT!!!!!

Hi, I took two diagnostic tests, one timed and one that wasn't. What I found was while I understood the questions and got the answers right i was very, very slow, also i have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to the logic games. I've been seeing your video chats with other test takers popping up but I finally decided to look into your resources after watching a prep test review by Kels Tels. I just ordered the book on Amazon and noticed it mentions a cd, how do i get it and what does it cover? I'm an auditory learner and would much prefer a cd i can listen to for some areas of the course/ test.

Got it ( The Book ).

How can I get in contact with her 😫

I’ve now had a look at the book TOC. My approach to LR has been about the same as Cassidy’s for years now; you need to analyze the stimulus, be familar with argument structure, and more or less teach of the 250 formal and informal fallacies, the ones that most commonly appear in LR stimuli. My only criticism is, if you’re quoting Aristotle Sophistical Refutations, at least give a footnote.

She looks exactly like Mary Louise Parker

Is this old she is given recommendation and Steve you said she hasn’t taken it

she got so excited about LG that the vein in her head started bulging

God Ellen is such a thirst trap. Love her.

If you’ve studied logic and philosophy at harvard, and you were a big time debater, as i was, lsats are trivial. i’ve been teaching them for 35 years plus.

Of course, that’s easy for me to say. i have my harvard degree.

Super painful to read, especially the first 30 pages

She’s not mentally stable.
