CLIR Drills (Loophole)?

mooooooo00mooooooo00 Free Trial Member

Can anyone explain to me what CLIR is and how I can apply the technique on my own when I drill/review LR?
I've been looking for the Loophole, but it's still not available to buy/ship to my area.

I would highly appreciate any tips!

    CLIR is a term in Ellen Cassidy's book titled 'The LSAT Loophole Logical reasoning. It is the best LR book I have read and I have read most of the major titles. I would highly recommend her book. I got a 177 this past June and her book and her tutoring were key. Her CLIR ( which stands for Controversy, Loophole, Inference, Resolution )approach teaches you how to approach LR questions in a systematic way. She breaks down LR questions into 4 basic types. 1. a debate (2 person dialog) where you are figuring out the Controversy 2. arguments: where you try to figure out a Loophole 3. Fact based questions (mbt, mss): where you figure out inferences 4. paradox questions: where you find a Resolution. Her book does a great job of teaching you how to use this system to prephrase better. Using her system I went from being able to prephrase 20% of the time to being able to do it well at least 70-80% of the time in LR. Feel free to message me if you want more details.
