November 2026 LSAT Predictions, I Graded October First

On October 5, 2026, before the October LSAT, I posted 12 Reading Comp passages I thought LSAC would reuse. 4 came back on scored sections. A random 12 would have caught about 1. The other 56 passages on my list did no better than luck, and my 13 Logical Reasoning long shots went 0 for 13. A hit means the same passage, on a section that counted. I also ran my November rule as a backtest on the August, September and October 2026 tests (8 of 36, against about 2 for a random pick), and I'm upfront that it's flattered.
The November 2026 picks, made with the same frozen rule, are in this video, and I'll grade them the same way after November 14. Past-test history comes from Jon Denning and Dave Killoran's public recaps and from r/LSAT, including Graeme Blake's topic threads. The picks and the grading are mine.

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.
