This is going to be awesome.  \nyou: Hi. You’re excited I’m reading an LSAT prep book? I have an unnerving mix of fear and anxiety.  \nme: No, really I am so excited! There is not one thing I wish I could be doing other than helping you with the LSAT.  \nI could have done a ton of other things; I’m helping you with the LSAT because I freaking love it. you: You love the LSAT? But that’s like physically impossible. Who are you?  \nme: Well, first, my name is Ellen Cassidy, and I was kind of crafted in a lab to teach the LSAT. I studied language at Stanford University and Oxford University. At 23, I was one of the youngest lecturers in the history of the Rutgers University English Department. I love two things: words and teaching, mostly teaching about words. I  \neven spent a few years as an actor and creative writer, so I can write stuff that’s (hopefully) fun to read. you: How’d you end up taking the LSAT then?  \nme: I decided to take the LSAT super randomly. My friend dragged me to a party where I heard a funny story about being a public defender. I was so deep in my quarter-life crisis that I started researching LSAT prep methodologies on my phone before I even left the party. As soon as I started prepping, I felt more mentally alive than I had in my entire life. I loved working with the test for those two months; it felt like someone was finally speaking to me in my native language. As I got into the car after taking the LSAT, I  \nliterally said out loud,“I wish I could just do the LSAT forever.”you: Did you ending up going to law school?  \nme: After I got the score, I figured,“This is a pretty awesome score. I guess I might as well apply to law school?”(This is not a good reason to apply to law school.) I was admitted to Harvard Law School and deferred three times before turning them down. I taught my first LSAT class shortly after I was admitted to Harvard, and I immediately knew I loved helping people learn to reason far more than I could ever love being a lawyer.  \nyou: Dangggggg. That’s crazy. But wait, this is a standardized test, not something actually fun. Seriously, what’s so great about the LSAT?  \nme: What isn’t great about the LSAT? But since this is a Logical Reasoning book, let’s start there first. I love the skills that Logical Reasoning tests, and I believe our world would be better off if more people had those skills regardless of whether they go to law school.  \nyou: What skills does Logical Reasoning test?  \nme: Logical Reasoning tests your ability to do two things:  \nRead You have to pay attention to every word. If you don’t really understand what you’re reading,  \nintently you can’t answer the question. The LSAT is the incorruptible skimming police.  \nQuestion authority  \nYou have to question the claims the author makes in Logical Reasoning. Many students just say,“Sounds good…” after they’re done reading because the LSAT is intimidating. Don’t be such a pushover! Get critical. Get mean. Get your nitpick on.  \nThose two skills are the core of Logical Reasoning. And they’re the two things you’re going to be rocking out  \non by the end of this book.  \nyou: What’s different about this book versus all the other LSAT prep solutions out there? There are a lot of choices  \nand I just want whatever’s going to get me the highest score.  \nme: I want you to get the highest score possible too. That’s why I spent five years perfecting the new techniques  \noutlined in this book.  \nExperts do Logical Reasoning entirely differently than what’s typically taught in courses and written in books.  \nWe do the questions intuitively. This is a book designed to lead you —from wherever you happen to be  \nstarting — into doing Logical Reasoning like an expert, like the mythical “naturals.” Some people are lucky  \nenough to come into LSAT preparation with the critical intuition the expert has —the inclination toward  \nskepticism, side eye, and Loopholes. I’m one of those peo","cbCaifFrrqtQsXv3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifFrrqtQsXv3","pdf",219186,"English","# Introduction\n## Why Ellen Cassidy Loves the LSAT\n## Core Skills: Read and Question Authority\n## How This Book Differs\n## The System: Critical Intuition and Drills\n## Book Structure: Chapters 1-12","[{\"question\":\"Who is Ellen Cassidy in the context of this LSAT book?\",\"answer\":\"Ellen Cassidy is presented as the creator and teacher of the LSAT prep program.
