October 2026 LSAT Predictions

From LSAT Unplugged + Law School Admissions Podcast Steve Schwartz

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.
