Demon Team Mar 27, 2024Bye Bye, Bar Exam

Oregon and Washington state no longer require the bar exam. Ben and Nathan think that more states should follow suit.

Demon Team Mar 26, 2024Without a Graeme of Evidence

Two weeks ago, Ben and Nathan revealed a shadow ban targeting LSAT Demon on Reddit. The sole moderator of the r/LSAT subreddit, Graeme Blake from LSAT Hacks, responded with personal attacks and false accusations of “sockpuppeting.” He then banned LSAT Demon entirely. This week, Nathan and Ben recap the strange saga and question Graeme’s motives for attempting to silence LSAT Demon and its supporters. Later, the guys offer advice to a student who’s missing too many easy questions in Logical Reasoning. Nathan and Ben instruct Lawrence to slow down and avoid making sloppy mistakes. Logic Games are an opportunity, not an obstacle. Ben and Nathan advise an anonymous listener on how to master LG in time for the June LSAT. Listener Lauren has a stellar GPA and LSAT score, yet she was waitlisted at every school in the T14. The guys blame a combination of yield protection and bad luck. They encourage Lauren to write letters of continued interest and to reapply next year. Ben and Nathan invite you to join the waitlist for their law school admissions course. Word of the Week: Inchoate

Demon Team Mar 18, 2024Are LSAT Accommodations Unfair?

Testing accommodations are meant to give students with documented disabilities a fair shot. But recent LSAT scoring data suggests that the current time-and-a-half minimum might not level the playing field—it might give an unfair advantage to people with accommodations. Ben and Nathan discuss the problematic state of LSAT accommodations and what it means for students.  Later, the guys weigh the costs and benefits of taking the test five times. Does it matter to law schools how many times you've taken the LSAT? Your highest LSAT score is all that matters to law schools as it's the only score that law schools report. Then they draft a short character and fitness addendum for another listener. If you need more help writing addendums, contact editor Leslie Blodgett.  Finally, they urge students to avoid the comparison trap. Do what you can control and stop comparing yourself and your circumstances to anyone else.  Word of the Week: Obscurantism

Demon Team Mar 16, 2024Be Excited to Study

Brayden joins Erik to share his LSAT success story. Over two and a half years of LSAT study, Brayden refused to settle for less than his best. He stayed true to himself and his journey regardless of the situation or circumstances of his life. He delayed his applications, took the LSAT five times, and increased his score by 30 points. 

Demon Team Mar 11, 2024About that r/LSAT Shadow Ban

  Update (Mar 25, 2024): Cofounders Ben Olson and Nathan Fox discuss the continued censorship and lack of response from the moderator of r/LSAT, Graeme Blake. While providing flimsy evidence and baseless reasons to continue LSAT Demon’s limitations, the moderator neglected to address the shadow ban. LSAT Demon students have also had popular threads mentioning the shadow ban locked. Users, including the one below, have been banned from r/LSAT and r/lawschooladmissions, which conveniently share the same moderator. LSAT Demon team members, including Ben, Chris, Reggie, and Abigail, have been permanently banned from the subreddit without clear cause. After requesting explanation, no one has received a response.   Update (Mar 19, 2024): Cofounder Ben Olson has addressed some of the discussions happening on Reddit. For a deeper understanding of our perspective, check out LSAT Demon’s Stance. Many of us at LSAT Demon started just like you—on r/LSAT.  Unfortunately, our students haven’t been able to fully contribute to this community for almost a year. Their posts and comments about the Demon are secretly banned. If you search for “Demon,” you won’t find any image posts for the last year. This void started shortly after a moderator posted About those Demon Bots - New Policy. We’ve never used bots. And the two staff members mentioned didn’t mean any harm. Since then, we’ve told every team member to make it clear that they work for LSAT Demon if they decide to post anything. Demon cofounder Ben Olson responded. After that, we let it go. Let Reddit be Reddit. But about a year ago, we sensed that something was wrong after several of our students showed us posts and comments that were later removed or shadow-banned. What Is Shadow-Banning? A shadow-banned post appears normal to the poster but invisible to other users.  Below are some examples of posts that Reddit users have shared with us. Comments mentioning LSAT Demon are visible from the poster’s perspective (left) but hidden from everyone else (right). Here are several more examples: This post is now removed with several shadow-banned comments. This post is removed with shadow-banned comments. This post is removed. This post is removed with shadow-banned comments. This post about 7Sage has a single shadow-banned comment when the poster mentioned LSAT Demon. This post is not removed but has shadow-banned comments. This post is not removed but has shadow-banned comments from users who were not the poster. Attempted Outreach and Next Steps Writing this blog was not our first choice. We contacted r/LSAT moderators 10 months ago through Reddit to figure things out. We later sent emails to members of the moderator team seeking clarification. No response.  We believe that r/LSAT should be an open community where students are free to share their experiences—good or bad—free from secret censorship. Bots and disingenuous posts suck! That’s why we’ve never used them. We hope that the secret ban will end, allowing r/LSAT users to discuss our tools openly.
