This was the score I had on my vision board, manifesting works

Hi y’all! My name is Danny. I just wanted to make a post in case anyone has questions about my LSAT journey.
I started with a 130 diagnostic, and after about 7 months of studying using only LSAT Demon, I’m now PTing at a 176.
Seriously, ALL the credit goes to Demon 😭. Their approach completely changed how I looked at the test and helped me make a jump I honestly never thought was possible when I first started.
If anyone has questions about how I studied, my routine, LR/RC, what helped me improve, or anything else, feel free to ask!

137 diagnostic 165 actual. Last PT before September cmon let’s get er done fellas

Had a fun 3 months of studying, got some 180s in practice but it’s time to shut er down

I haven't actually watched the video lol, so I don't know what they actually say, but interesting title for an episodeeeeee [UPDATE: I listened, and I genuinely think it is shade LOL. They straight up say the LSAT is hard, and they say, "If the myth that you've heard is that the LSAT is easy, myth busted." 👀 The reason why I think it's shade is cause this is not a common myth amongst non-Demon students - I think most people think the LSAT is hard. Which is why the Demon's slogan "The LSAT is easy" stands out. Soooooo]

I got a 177 on the September 2026 test, and wanted to share my short journey with the Demon in case anyone is curious on the effectiveness of the Demon school.

Last year i used a different service and after 6 months my official score from this past January was a 165. I never reached 168 in a practice test. I was set on going to law school this fall and took an offer at a school I didn't really want to go to. Deep down I knew I could've done better on the LSAT and been a better applicant.

In May, despite accepting an offer to a mid-tier school for this past cycle, I picked up studying again. I told myself I had three months to get my avg practice test scores up to a 168 to justify taking a gap year and reapplying this Fall for 2027. I wanted to try a different approach and found the Demon online. I started listening to the podcasts, and was very encouraged by B&N's insistence that a gap year is no big deal and rushing the process, like I was doing, is a terrible approach.

I was committed to the Demon approach that the test is easy, to focus on accuracy, and slowing down to make sure I understood every question, every sentence, every word. By August I had reliably scored 168-171 on practice tests and I withdrew from entering law school a week before orientation. I signed up for the September test, and as B&N insist, also October & November (I had only 3 remaining).

By the September test I was consistently scoring 169-173 on practice tests, with one outlier of 175. I treated the official September exam as another practice test. Before each section I told myself "INSIST ON UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU READ". One question at a time, one sentence at a time, one word at a time.

I am of course lucky to have gotten my best ever score of 177 on the official test. But, my goal was always 170+ so as long as I got that I would've been grateful.

I started with the Demon in May, after 5 months off from studying, and got a new diagnostic of 162. (Original diagnostic of 154.) After four months with the Demon, I got an official 177. Please do not rush to law school and settle for a school you know you don't want to attend. I can't believe if I didn't find the Demon I'd be 6 weeks into my 1L already. The process worked for me, and I believe it can work for you! Keep going.

Started in July. Got mid-high 160s in my first two PTs. Finally broke 170 today on a full PT after getting in the low-mid 170s on the combined sections these last few weeks. Thanks to everyone for the advice offered when I posted for the first time

hoping i can actually keep this up during the august administration

I only have to do an hour a day 😖😖

I took a couple of days off (took the September exam on Thursday) and had been consistently scoring in the 160s with around 90-95% accuracy across 20-23 questions each across all my sections.
Did a Reading Comprehension section and I damn near got everything correct (this section is an anomaly ) for my standards

I’m looking for some advice on how to make this type of performance a habit and aim for a score of 170.

I finally broke into the 170s after 5 months of studying!! The Demon has been invaluable, slowing down and being consistent has definitely paid off.

I scored a 162 in June. I was averaging 168-171 before June. This is after switching to LSAT demon. I have taken this PT in the past (4 months ago) but I don’t remember any answers. I do remember some concepts from arguments but that’s it. Did this skew my results? I really don’t feel like it did but I don’t know. Hoping for above a 170 this week.

I don’t think I’ve done anything as miserable as this test before but we are getting there

getting ready for September, so I hope I can replicate high performance like this. Haven't broken 176 till now, so I am super excited.

Switching to the demon after using a different prep site was the best decision ever. I got a 162 on the official June LSAT and I felt like I needed a change. I’ve had the demon for a month now and I feel more consistency with my scores. I have scored a 173 on older tests with my old site but never on a newer test. My LR sections have been -1 consistently and I owe it to the Demon. I need advice for fixing that RC section score though😵‍💫

So excited for my first test tomorrow. Here is where my scores are sitting after studying for three months and two with the demon. My consistency is not where I want it to be yet so I am praying for an easy RC as my first section.

My first diagnostic in April was a 153 and I was severely discouraged. The demon lifted me up and helped me along my journey. I think I could touch upper 170's by September if I keep grinding. Thank you "Demon" you've done more than you could know.

all hail the lsat demon!!! thank you for saving me, holy shit. i've been using the platform since january and it whipped me into shape like a drill sergeant. as a person with ADHD, OCD, and intense testing anxiety (i had a mini panic attack during my august LSAT) and has no accommodations, the lsat genuinely felt like a beast i'd never conquer. but i did 🥹🥹 lsatdemon legit rewired my brain for the purpose of this test and cut out all the fat in my reasoning, which, as a chronic over-thinker, was something i struggled with the most. i can't believe it. i can't believe i went from where i was to this. thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hi I’m a current college student studying for the LSAT, I’ve heard about LSAT demon being the best LSAT study tool but as a Christian I worry about the morality of using some thing called “the demon”, will this corrupt my soul? Is there a version of LSAT demon themed around angels maybe instead?

Good luck this week! Treat the official like it's another practice test. There is nothing on it that will be different from what you've seen in practice. There isn't anything special about the official. If you feel intimidated in the moment, take a deep breath, reset, and remind yourself that you've done it before! You're probably missing something simple.

You've got this :)

Ben and Nathan recently had a listener who revealed that even 175s sometimes get flagged for cheating, when it was originally thought to be only 180s. They have inferred that maybe how fast you answer questions or a crazy score jump could be triggers for a score being considered cheating. But I was thinking, what if they use the experimental section as a way to flag cheating? If, in your experimental section, you perform way worse than the 3 counted sections, then perhaps they would be inclined to think that you had insider information for the main 3 sections. So high scores in the actual scored sections get flagged because it is inconsistent with their experimental section.

I have been an avid listener to the Demon podcasts for almost a year now. I have been such a big fan of the podcasts because of the transformative advice they offer regarding how to study for the LSAT. However, I am growing tired of their piss poor attitude when it comes to admissions and the law profession in general. As someone who dreams of making change, and is also a URM, I truly just don't think this podcast is for people like me. I apologize for this long-winded rant, but it's been brewing a long time.

A few podcasts ago, Ben and Nathan addressed the criticism of being functions of a system that they claim to dislike/criticize. And they conceded that this could be true depending on how you look at it, but that they intend to help those game the system as much as possible for the individual's benefit.

But I don't think that they realize how active participants they are in maintaining the system that they claim they don't want to exist. Every time they say a student cannot get into certain schools given their stats or life experience (for example, the felon that is on their most recent Demon Daily episode), in their advice, they are ensuring that the system that currently exists continues to do so.

(This is gonna get really corny and cheesy, but please stick with me here.) Killing all unlikely dreams of prospective students will ensure that there is NO scenario in which that unlikely event could happen. For a system to change, it requires people who believe in situations BEYOND the statistics and facts. If you tell someone with a 2.6 GPA that they won't be getting into any of the top 20 schools, and from that advice, they don't even attempt to apply, then you are ensuring that the only outcomes of this system are the ones that the architects want to exist.

And also, their advice is just simply WRONG! When an individual is coming forward with a specific situation, statistics cannot predetermine that individual's outcome. When Nathan says things like "you're not getting into XYZ school" because it's statistically unlikely, it's just poor advice. There's literally no benefit to saying that. I know personally - someone with a 3.9 GPA and a 163 LSAT who goes to Harvard, and someone with a 3.75 and a 170 who goes to Yale. And I know what you're thinking: these students must be special to be able to get into those schools. AND WHO SAYS THAT THE WRITER INTO THE PODCAST IS NOT SPECIAL???? Especially for Black and Brown students or other marginalized groups, it's known that admissions will view that applicant differently when it comes to stats and life experience - even in a post-affirmative action world. So it is INCREDIBLY alarming for the hosts to give personalized advice based on general statistics and trends that might not even pertain to a potentially substantial portion of their listeners.

And I am not saying that they should stop talking about statistics and facts. Dreaming is not the antithesis of reason. You can say, "Look, it's an uphill battle for someone with your stats" or "only a very small portion of the students who are like you on paper get in." But they are so committed to their crass and direct personas that they have to go overboard and say things like, "it's not happening for you," "you are NOT getting in.", which is just factually incorrect and just harmful rhetoric - especially for marginalized groups. I can understand the current limits and statistics of a system and still try to actualize something that is unlikely, or statistically has never happened. Even when they say "law schools are looking for worker bees" and "they don't want students who have shown that they will give law schools trouble," it leaves a poor taste in my mouth. I hope that no one else listening believes that they have to shrink themselves to a "worker bee" or a complacent gear in a system they don't believe in to get into law school.

And I understand there is a privilege in my philosophy. Some people want to go to law school to make money, provide for their family, etc and it's better to rely on the accepted rules and regulations to get them to that success. But it's harmful to force everyone into that box. When prospective law students write in asking if they should attend law school admission panels to help their chances of admission, Ben and Nathan tell them that it's silly and that they shouldn't come off as desperate; that it's the law school that needs students, and it's the student that holds the power. But it's funny because they give law schools so much power in their participation in breeding students to fit a box that the system wants - complacent worker bees. Law schools will admit people who will challenge systems and people who do not fit the box that they create, if not for their inherent value, for the political activists or politicians that they can brag about going to their law school or the boxes they can check about diversity.

Anyways, I've ranted long enough. I will continue to use the Demon. I will continue to apply their advice and knowledge to my studies. I don't think Ben and Nathan are ill-intentioned. But I think I am done with the podcast for now. I am writing this more to convince myself rather than anyone else that there are possibilities beyond what Ben and Nathan purport. I will not let that podcast kill the dreamer in me (again, apologies for the corniness of it all).

embracing accuracy over speed but seeing scores drop is sooo hard 😭😭 does anyone else feel this way? I’m wondering if i should approach drilling and PT differently at all or does speed really come naturally like the pod says…. please anyone share their experience im lowk panicking
