We are now in November, and that means the November LSAT—the last LSAT of the year!—is just around the corner. Here are some predictions on what to expect on the 2024 November LSAT exam.
What Will Be on the 2024 November LSAT?
Logical Reasoning
With the dust settled, logic games are now firmly in the rear-view mirror. Logical Reasoning now comprises two of your three scored sections, and initial impressions are in. Logical Reasoning remains largely business as usual in the new format.
There has been word that diagramming has taken a bit more of a prominent role in this section. This isn’t too surprising, given it’s the closest remaining analog for the type of mechanical logic and deductions that were on logic games. I’d expect a handful of conditional and causal diagramming questions on the November LSAT and a few principle questions designed around applying a general principle to a specific set of facts.
If you encounter diagramming on an easier question earlier in a given Logical Reasoning section, it’s likely your job will be to connect identical terms or conditions to form one large conditional chain. Be ready to translate synonymous language or similar concepts on trickier questions, as well as identify assumptions or equivocations in the middle of those chains that make the argument flawed.

Reading Comprehension
In your Reading Comprehension Section, I’d expect at least three, potentially all four, passages to present multiple viewpoints on the subject of the passage. The questions of these passages expect you to describe the similarities and differences between those viewpoints, what the viewpoints are about, and where the author stands on the debate. Be careful to differentiate other viewpoints (which generally will be directly linked to language attributing those views to another person, group of people, or camp), and the author’s own opinions about the other views (which generally show up in response to those views or in the tone and attitude the author uses to describe those views).
The LSAT also loves to test your ability to identify what is and what is not within the scope of the passage’s subject. You can expect most wrong answers in Reading Comprehension sections to be wrong because they add something that is unsupported by or mischaracterizes the subject matter in the passage.
A good trick when analyzing answer choices is to focus on the strongest, most extreme, broadest, or seemingly irrelevant aspects of an answer choice and check if there was support in the passage for that element.

Final Thoughts
While the subject matter on any given LSAT will largely track what you’ve seen and practiced throughout your studies, it can be psychologically challenging and mentally draining. Try to break each section into manageable chunks, and focus on working through one question at a time. Each question you finish is one less question between you and the enjoyment of the little things in life.
Go to the beach, have a spa day, catch up on sleep – whatever it is, make sure to have something to look forward to going into the November LSAT so you can bring in that positive energy to manifest that future and dominate the LSAT!
