Same 12 calls as my November predictions. New in this version: where the record comes from, the back-test with the dates locked, the counts under every rate, all 30 old experimental passages by name, and the Logical Reasoning list I built and threw out.

The November LSAT runs November 11 to 14. Most of these won't show up, and I say that in the video. If one does, treat that section as scored and read the passage fresh. Logical Reasoning is 2 of your 3 scored sections, so we cover that too.

The numbers (last 4 tests, June to October 2026)
Scored once, last seen 9 to 18 months ago: 24 of 116 came back (about 1 in 5)
Experimental only, last seen 13 to 18 months ago: 6 of 50 (about 1 in 8, small sample)
Scored once, more than 18 months ago: about 8% (about 1 in 12; the August check alone was 5 of 67)
Any passage at random: about 4% (about 1 in 25)
Scored 2 or more times: 12 of 479 (about 1 in 40)
Experimental, 9 to 12 months old: 2 of 137 (almost never)
Back-test, June, August and September 2026: my top 20 caught 10 of 46. A random 20 catches about 3. Newest tests first caught 1.
October, the first test the rule hadn't seen: 3 of 11 firmly matched passages in my top 12. A random 12 gets 0.4.

Sources: past-test history comes from Jon Denning's public recaps and r/LSAT, including Graeme Blake's (LSATHacks) topic threads, plus comments on my videos and socials and my students. The model, the calls, and any mistakes are mine.

Topics are what test takers reported after past tests. I don't have LSAC's test, and nobody does (I hope).

I scored a 152 my first LSAT. Got to a 175. I've been teaching this test since 2005.

If you're prelaw, applying now, or stuck, you're in the right place.
