  • November 2026 LSAT Predictions
    Get the free November LSAT drill sets: https://unpluggedprep.com/drill The November LSAT runs November 11 to 14. In October, test takers reported whole Reading Comp sections from September running again, and old unscored passages showing up in scored sections. So I rebuilt the passage record with October in it and scored which passages look due back for November. These are my calls, in 3 tiers, with a free practice passage for every top-tier topic. 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. 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 calls are mine. Chapters 0:00 The passages I think are due back 1:56 What October changed 3:13 How often the list is right 4:14 Most likely 5:53 Old tryout passages 6:21 Long shots 6:55 If you tested in September or October 7:31 Logical Reasoning 9:05 My number 1 call 10:12 If you recognize a passage 10:45 Your last few days 11:09 The free November drill sets Topics are what test takers reported after past tests. I don't have LSAC's unreleased tests. * I scored a 152 my first LSAT. Got to a 175. I've been teaching this test since 2005.

  • October 2026 LSAT: The Hard Section Might Not Count
    Download your free LSAT cheat sheet here: https://unpluggedprep.com/cheatsheet The October 2026 LSAT ran October 7 to 10. I read over 1,000 test-taker reports on r/LSAT, the comments on my YouTube videos and socials, and messages from my students. This is what came out of it: the Reading Comp passages people saw, the section orders they got, and why one Logical Reasoning section felt so hard. Scores come out October 28. These are test takers' own reports, topics only. I don't have LSAC's test, and nobody does. If you had only one Reading Comp section, this video shows you why you already know it counted. Thanks to everyone on r/LSAT who posted, and to Graeme Blake (LSATHacks), who puts together the subreddit's topic thread. 0:00 Intro 1:32 Section orders 1:54 What you already know 2:31 The Reading Comp passages 4:57 Logical Reasoning 5:50 When every answer looks wrong 6:31 Why a hard section tells you little 7:32 What to do before October 28 I scored a 152 my first LSAT.

I go through the numbers, the "check only one" application question, Berkeley's answer, and the word Berkeley Law quietly deleted from its application page.

  • October 2026 LSAT Predictions
    Since August, test takers have been reporting the same thing. They open Reading Comp on the LSAT and recognize a passage from an older test. So I tracked every passage test takers reported across more than 2 years of tests and scored which ones look due back for October. These are my calls, in 3 tiers, with a place to practice each kind of passage. Most of these won't show up, and I say that in the video. The pattern beats a random guess, and that's all it does. A match on test day tells you to treat that section as scored. Then you do the passage fresh, like you've never seen it. LR is 2 of your 3 scored sections, so we cover that too, plus what to do between now and test day.

  • Law School Medians Just Went Up Again (2026)
    Download your free LSAT cheat sheet here: https://unpluggedprep.com/cheatsheet 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. 🎯 Free LSAT tutoring lesson: https://unpluggedprep.com/start 📚 LSAT Unplugged courses and coaching: https://lsatunplugged.com Law schools just released their numbers for the class that started this fall, and LSAT medians went up again. Of the first 107 schools to post, 84 raised their median and only 3 lowered it. I pulled 10 years of ABA 509 reports to show how far it's gone: at Villanova, this year's bottom quarter scored 5 points above the 2015 median. My answer is to fight fire with fire. I walk through what 3 LSAT points do to a real school list, how much your school's median changes your odds at the top jobs (69% vs 17%), and the roughly $75,000 scholarship gap inside a single school.
