November 2026 LSAT predictions, and what to drill before test day
If you spend your last days memorizing a passage list, you've spent them on a third of your score. Here are my Reading Comp calls for November, the Logical Reasoning work that actually moves your number, and 2 free drill sets built for the days you have left.
My October list is graded: 4 of 12 came back on scored sections. See the October scorecard or the full record.
Each set runs in the free drill, one question at a time, with an explanation after every answer.

Start with Logical Reasoning
Logical Reasoning is 2 of your 3 scored sections. Reading Comp is 1. So honestly, most of your last days belong to LR, even with a passage list in hand.
Nobody can predict LR questions. The mix of question types barely moves from test to test, though, so you drill the big ones. In my drill bank, Flaw alone is about 1 in 6 LR questions. Add Strengthen, Weaken, and the 2 Assumption types and you're at about half.
October test takers said several LR questions felt like logic games: who gets picked, who sits on which floor. If that kind of if/then and ordering logic slows you down, give it a few reps before November 11.
When you miss one, don't just check the answer. Say out loud why your answer looked right. That's where the points are this late.
My Reading Comp calls
Since August 2026, test takers have reported recognizing Reading Comp passages. LSAC has been reusing single passages from past tests, mixed into new forms, not whole sections.
So I tracked every passage test takers reported across more than 2 years of LSATs, about 370 of them, and scored which ones look due to come back. These are predictions, not promises. About half of any test is passages nobody had on a list, mine included.
My 12 for November, as test takers reported them: 4 law, 4 science, 3 humanities, and 1 social science. If you want every count behind them, I walk through the full 30-minute build on YouTube.
Law
- Whether contracts made by AI are legal
- Copyright in general vs music copyright
- UN treaties and the roots of empathy
- State consent and legitimacy in international law
Science
- The philosophy of causality
- Popper and Weinberg on scientific method
- Clovis spear points and mammoth hunting
- The Fermi paradox
Humanities
- Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and comic books
- Alternative archaeology
- Ba Jin's novel Family and a critic's reading
Social science
- Uruguay and Argentina after Spanish rule
If you recognize a passage on test day, treat that section like it counts and read it fresh.
Knowing the topic tells you nothing about the answers. Don't spend a single second trying to recall the last version. Every one of those seconds comes out of your reading time.
What the RC set practices
Every call on my list has its own passage in the RC set. We wrote them ourselves, so they aren't the reported passages. They match each call on subject, so you practice the kind of reading you might actually get.
Humanities passages tend to hide the author's view. On those, find where the author actually stands before you touch the questions.
Your last few days
- 2 or more days out: 1 timed section, then review every miss.
- The day before: review only. No new timed sections.
- The night before: a light drill, then sleep.
- Test morning: 10 easy LR warm-up questions to get your brain moving.
Stop taking full practice tests this late, and stop reading threads about how hard the last test was. The test is in person at a Prometric center, so know how long the trip takes, and check LSAC's page the night before for the official rules.
