Hi All,
To be brief, I’m a philosophy PhD student looking for people on the same boat: is in graduate school, studying for the LSAT, plans to go to law school.
If you’re interested, please DM me or leave a comment on this post. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Looking forward to hearing from y’all!
P.S. thanks to JD who encouraged me to write this post.
It's a process. Take breaks when needed, but always try to come back to it. Try treating the LSAT like a marathon, not a sprint. Reach out to other test-takers for emotional support when needed :)
Hi All,
Hopefully you clicked because you also want someone who can help you stay on track with LSAT studying. My PT average is in the 160s, so I'm hoping to find someone who's scoring within that range or better. I'm open to partnering with someone averaging lower, though!
Me:
-Grad student in philosophy.
-My timezone is EST.
-My loosely planned test date is August 2021.
-Current PT average: Mid-160s.
The general plan:
-We do 1 timed PT a week and we discuss the answers we got wrong.
-We can meet over zoom or discord.
-We can meet once first and see how it goes from there.
Shoot me a DM or leave a message. Thanks!
I'm interested. Please send me a DM to explain how the study group meetings will occur. Thanks!
Hello 7Sage community,
I hope this message finds you well on your LSAT journey :)
I wanted to take a moment to share my own experience, as it may resonate with some of you who are navigating significant life changes alongside LSAT preparation.
I embarked on this LSAT journey with dedication, allocating countless hours to studying for the test. I've benefited immensely from the tools and support offered by 7Sage, and I want to express my gratitude for that. The skills I've honed during this process are invaluable and will serve me well in life.
However, life doesn't always follow a straight path. Major career shifts, housing challenges, and relationship changes have shifted my focus and priorities. I decided to put the LSAT on hold to navigate these transitions effectively.
I'm sharing this not to discourage anyone but to contribute my own story and data point to the wide array of LSAT preparation experiences out there. The LSAT journey can take a holistic toll – financially, emotionally, and professionally. I wish I had come across posts like this earlier to help me evaluate my preparation choices within the context of my life circumstances.
I'm not closing the door on the LSAT. It's a journey I may return to when it aligns with my life circumstances. For now, I'm focusing on adapting to the changes life has presented.
I wish each and every one of you a happy and successful learning journey. Cherish the skills you're developing; they'll serve you well beyond the LSAT.
Practice, practice, practice!
Congrats to Nicholas and all :)
Hope you're feeling better! As someone who's been studying for a while, it can be a little disappointing at times. I suggest finding some study buddies to help keep you motivated.
Chiming in to say that the drills seem to be working for me as of 5:00 pm EST, June 6!
Congrats, that's a phenomenal score. How did you decide to go to law school as a non-traditional applicant?
I chose (C) and I think it's wrong because passage B doesn't cite any authorities. But I take issue with the correct answer being (A) because it says that passage A "[doesn't] provide details," which I think it does. Doesn't citing what might be necessary requirements for a principle of rectification count as "details"?
Any help and clarification would be much appreciated.

A sea of comments suggesting a year is inevitably going to fuck with peoples head, and I'm basically saying don't let it.
@ said:
Whoever says a year is fucking with you.
The above two statements seem to be inconsistent. The first one suggests it's the possibly negative effect(s) of a comment that says it took a year to perfect LG that's problematic. The second statement suggests it's the person making the comment that's problematic. Thank you for clarifying that it's the first statement that you meant.
Still, I'm afraid I have to disagree that a group of comments saying it took the individual users a year to perfect LG will "inevitably [mess] with peoples heads (sic)." Even if you didn't intend to accuse people, your statement attributes some negative effect to some people's honest disclosure that it took them a year to perfect LG.
I think telling people it honestly took a lot of other LSAT students a whole year to get good at LG can be a good thing. It's comforting and encouraging for students to read the persistence it took for some of these commenters to achieve their goals. At least that's what it meant for me when I read about other users persisting over long periods.

Awesome! Is this AI-powered like the LSAT Demon's drilling feature where you're given questions based on your strengths and weaknesses with past questions?
This would be awesome. I like the Demon's drilling feature a lot but I have used 7Sage for over a year and don't want to build new analytics from scratch on another software.

If the LSAT Demon hasn't already patented their drilling software, I hope 7Sage can consider adding its own drilling software based on a user's question history.

I took a year to master the LG section and I'm not being cavalier about it: It really did take me a good year's work of LG drills to consistently score low enough with the official timing conditions.
For some of us, LG is something we're completely unfamiliar with—I didn't grow up doing logic puzzles or anything remotely close to the LG section, so it makes sense that I'd probably have to practice longer to get used to it?
I read your comment as demeaning, accusatory, and ignorant.
Great post! I'd love to read about any other "academic pitfalls" you think incoming law students should avoid. I think the emphasis that everyone in law school is just as confused as you are, especially when analyzing archaic cases with Latin words thrown in there, is really helpful.
This post has got me thinking about the value of law school and practicing law. I'm studying for the LSAT and I love it. It's a fun test. I'm not sure if this will be my experience in law school, though. Reading your post puts things into perspective for me!

Hi! Congratulations on getting into uOttawa and Osgoode. Your law school journey sounds like it will be an exciting and successful one regardless of which school you go to. At the end of the day, I want to emphasize that choosing which law school you go to should be a choice you make for yourself - while internet strangers can be helpful, there are still limitations to other people's opinions and personal research.
With that being said, I would consider your values: Do your finances matter? Can you afford to go to a more expensive school if that means better quality in some other regards? Do you value the school's general culture more than educational experience? Do you care about prestige? What area of law are you thinking of practicing in and which school has the best programs in terms of employment placements for those areas (I know you mentioned government and international development, so I'd research into those)?
Ultimately, the school you go to should reflect your values and current practical circumstance to ensure that you're in the program that will truly serve your goals and meet your needs.
Best of luck on your law school journey.
I'm interested. Feel free to DM me the discord link.
