The November 2026 collection is best approached as eleven related practice files rather than eleven interchangeable tests. Forms 11A–11G include both easier and harder second-module versions; 11H–11K contain four module blocks. Familiar passages and mathematical structures recur across these files and earlier months, but some change the claim, quantity, or condition that determines the answer. This overview explains those relationships and gives a practical order for studying the collection.
The most useful October comparisons are not all exact repeats. A women-judges graph asks a new kind of comparison, a foundation-tax graph measures a different variable, and a rational-function translation changes both directions and the power in the denominator. Other questions preserve almost all their content and simply rearrange options. The distinction matters: transfer a method when it remains valid, but verify what the current question requires.
What is in the November collection
Across the eleven PDFs, there are 1,728 pages and 1,421 numbered question slots: 783 Reading and Writing and 638 Math. Three slots in 11F explicitly contain missing-question notices, leaving 1,418 supplied question pages. These are occurrence counts, not a count of distinct questions. The files contain repeated material within and across forms. All eleven supply module answer-key pages, totaling 58 key pages; our worked explanations independently check selected items and do not certify every answer in those keys.
The November labels are the supplied archive filenames. A–H also carry internal Practice Test labels, and their difficulty badges are the source’s predicted ratings. These features do not independently establish an administration date, region, or adaptive route. All locators here use PDF page numbers. In I–K, the printed footer can differ from the PDF position, so use the PDF page control when following a reference.
The three 11F gaps are R&W Module 1 Q22 at p.23, R&W Harder Module 2 Q23 at p.91, and Math Easier Module 2 Q22 at p.150. Do not guess their content from nearby forms or count them as wrong answers. Keep the remaining material useful through targeted practice while recording those gaps in any attempt summary.
| Form and full review | PDF pages | Question slots / supplied questions | Structure and study focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11A | 179 | 147 / 147 | Six blocks; both second-module variants. Compare evidence variables, then connect a 30° triangle to similarity. Start with pp.11, 79, 164, and 175. |
| 11B | 180 | 147 / 147 | Six blocks; both second-module variants. Study graph tendencies, cross-text timelines, and algebraic restrictions. Useful anchors are pp.13, 74, 147, and 170. |
| 11C | 181 | 147 / 147 | Six blocks; both second-module variants. Practice diagnostic evidence, strict statistical claims, and nested radicals. Focus on pp.79, 88, 171, and 175. |
| 11D | 179 | 147 / 147 | Six blocks; both second-module variants. Separate requested evidence from general benefits, then read geometric targets and exponents. Try pp.12, 48, 117, and 144. |
| 11E | 180 | 147 / 147 | Six blocks; both second-module variants. Use retuned exponential tables, tangent-circle reasoning, and proportional systems. Compare pp.108, 121, and 143 with earlier versions. |
| 11F | 180 | 147 / 144 | Six blocks; both second-module variants. Contrast counts with percentages and use algebraic shortcuts. Prioritize pp.74, 161, and 171 while excluding the three missing slots. |
| 11G | 180 | 147 / 147 | Six blocks; both second-module variants. Connect sentence structure with function composition and geometric scaling. Useful anchors are pp.83, 130, 160, and 175. |
| 11H | 120 | 98 / 98 | Four blocks; one second module per subject. Study proxy validity, causal disagreement, and weighted means. Work pp.13, 41, 89, and 109 before the quartic on p.114. |
| 11I | 117 | 98 / 98 | Four blocks; one second module per subject. Track steel classifications and model resolutions, then recover a quadratic from a shifted table. Focus on pp.14, 44, and 113. |

| 11K | 116 | 98 / 98 | Four blocks; one second module per subject. Read rhetorical goals and integer constraints carefully. Use pp.53, 58, 101, and the quadratic table at p.112. |
Reading and Writing patterns worth studying
Across the reading selections, a recurring challenge is selecting the relevant comparison rather than locating a familiar fact. In 11A p.79, the dog-language conclusion concerns prior exposure and familiar-versus-unfamiliar language, while the March 2024 version concerns anatomy and speech-versus-nonspeech. In 11I p.14, a steel classification supports a chromium comparison between utensils and dishwashers; the October School Day relative asks about manganese in two austenitic subtypes. Draw the categories named by the current conclusion before deciding which fact belongs.
The quantitative passages make the same demand through labels and denominators. In 11C p.10, total economic contribution determines the ranking, not contribution per employee. In 11F p.74, business employment increases while its share decreases. In 11J p.43, the graph concerns the percentage of foundation filers, whereas the October 10F relative concerns shares of penalties. A number cannot be transferred safely unless the unit, population, and comparison are unchanged.
Grammar supplies a different kind of transfer. The supernova item in 11G p.83 preserves the October sentence-boundary structure even though the source’s difficulty label changes. The DESI item in 11C p.88 preserves a both X and Y construction without punctuation at the blank. These questions are best solved by finding the sentence skeleton. Subject familiarity and perceived difficulty are poor substitutes for identifying the actual clauses or paired phrases.
Math patterns and the conditions that change answers
Math repeats are most useful when they expose an invariant operation. For translations, replace the input and then adjust the output. For coefficient sums, evaluate at x=1 and respect any displayed scale factor. For weighted means, retain group sizes. For similar figures, distinguish lengths, areas, and angles. The numbers may change while the operation survives, but the resulting answer must still be recomputed.
Some conditions change what can be concluded even when the algebra looks routine. The radical equation in 11B p.147 requires x≥0 before squaring. The histogram in 11C p.171 guarantees a lower mean but only a nonincreasing median. The prism in 11K p.101 restricts dimensions to unequal whole numbers greater than one. These restrictions are not optional final checks; they define the solution set.
For a productive advanced sequence, connect 11A’s translated reciprocal-square function on p.164, 11F’s coefficient sum on p.171, and 11G’s parallel-line parameter on p.160. Each rewards rewriting before calculating. Then contrast the nested radicals in 11C p.175 and 11D p.173: expanding the recovered squared sum verifies both rational and irrational terms. This sequence builds several short methods without pretending that all hard questions have the same shortcut.
Six worked examples across the collection
A counterexample requires the right variable
11A · R&W Module 1 Q10 · PDF p.11 · Answer: B
The Yupno passage rejects a universal pattern of organizing time along imagined linear axes. B supplies the relevant counterexample: future-oriented gestures do not, on average, point in the opposite linear direction from past-oriented gestures. Where people gesture, which hand they use, and whether a grammatical structure resembles English do not test that geometric pattern.
This is an efficient reading method: state the claim in a short form, then ask which choice would directly support or contradict it. October 10B p.52 uses the same reasoning with different contextual details and puts the correct statement at D. The useful memory is the counterexample, not the letter.
A smaller workforce share can accompany growth
11F · R&W Module 2 Harder version Q6 · PDF p.74 · Answer: C
Business employment rises from 220,700 to 232,300, even as its workforce share falls from 66.0% to 65.4%. C correctly says the share decline did not result from an overall contraction of that sector. The denominator—the workforce as a whole—also changes, so the count and percentage can move in opposite directions.
The table does not track individual workers moving into government jobs. A story about widespread transfers therefore exceeds the evidence. October 10E p.65 presents the same figures but puts the supported conclusion at A. Read the count and share columns separately before proposing an explanation of how the change happened.
Close the parenthesis, then separate the clauses
11G · R&W Module 2 Harder version Q16 · PDF p.83 · Answer: C
The sentence first identifies SN 2016aps as a supernova, with a parenthetical definition. A later clause says the blast propelled particles and debris. The correct completion, star). Occurring, closes the definition and starts a new sentence whose introductory participial phrase leads to that later main clause.
A comma alone does not supply the needed connection between the two main clauses. The same sentence and task appear in October 10C p.10, with the answer at D rather than C. This is a close repeat whose grammatical diagnosis transfers directly. The scientific details make the sentence long, but they do not alter the clause-boundary requirement.
A squared equation can have an extra root
11B · Math Module 2 Easier version Q20 · PDF p.147 · Answer: C: 9/2
In √(x²−25x+315)=x√11, the nonnegative left side requires x≥0. Squaring yields 10x²+25x−315=0, or (2x−9)(5x+35)=0. The algebraic candidates are 9/2 and −7, but only 9/2 satisfies the original sign condition.
Rejecting −7 is not an arbitrary rule about square roots: at that value the left side is positive and the right side negative. Verify the surviving candidate in the original equation. The lesson transfers to other radical equations even when there is no close earlier textual match. A shared skill does not itself make two questions repeats.
Pool the observations, not the two averages
11H · Math Module 2 Q15 · PDF p.109 · Answer: B: 89 centimeters
The first penguin sample contains 380 birds averaging 87 cm; the second contains 190 averaging 93 cm. Their sizes have ratio 2:1, so the combined mean is (2·87+93)/3=89 cm. Averaging 87 and 93 directly would give 90 and incorrectly assign equal weight to unequal groups.
The same data and choices appear in October 2025 10C p.88. Even in a full data-and-task repeat, reconstruct the weighting. A quick check is that the pooled mean must be closer to 87 because twice as many observations come from that group. The answer is an average across all 570 measured birds, not an estimate based on two equally sized populations.
Total lateral area and integer dimensions narrow the possibilities
11K · Math Module 2 Q11 · PDF p.101 · Answer: D: 147 cubic units
Let a be the square-base edge and h the prism height. Four lateral rectangles have total area 4ah=84, so ah=21. With both dimensions whole numbers greater than one, the available pairs are (a,h)=(3,7) and (7,3). The possible volumes a²h=21a are 63 and 147. Only 147 appears among the choices.
October 10K p.755 instead gives volume 72 and the area of each lateral face as 24, producing a=3 and h=8. The geometric model is shared, but each face versus all four faces changes the equation. November’s integer restrictions also matter. Do not use the visible 84 as though it were a volume or the area of one face.
Fourteen verified earlier-question comparisons
| November question | Earlier PDF locator | What transfers and what changes |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 11A, p.11 | 2026 10B, p.52 | Yupno context and answer order change; the same counterexample to a universal linear-time claim remains decisive. |
| 2026 11A, p.48 | 2026 10H, p.41 | The claim changes from stable counts that exceed others to an increase paired with a decrease. The required comparison changes. |
| 2026 11A, p.164 | 2026 10G, p.72 | The denominator changes from x to x²; down 3/right 5 becomes up 8/left 4. Substitute the whole shifted input before squaring. |
| 2026 11B, p.55 | 2026 10K, p.161 | The cheese-authenticity explanation retains the restatement relationship; that is moves from C to D. |
| 2026 11C, p.14 | 2026 10B, p.46 | The 88/169-bpm jogging experiment and fatigue confound are retained; the underestimation answer moves from A to D. |
| 2026 11E, p.108 | 2026 10J, p.522 | The table multiplier changes from 0.2 to 0.7, so exponential decay remains but the decrease changes from 80% to 30%. |
| 2026 11F, p.74 | 2026 10E, p.65 | The employment counts and shares are unchanged; growth with a smaller share remains supported, while the correct position changes. |
| 2026 11F, p.171 | 2026 10H, p.99 | The expression and coefficients are retuned. Evaluating at one and applying the denominator 8 changes the target from −960 to −64. |
| 2026 11G, p.83 | 2026 10C, p.10 | The same supernova sentence requires a period after the parenthesis, but the answer moves from D to C. |
| 2026 11H, p.109 | 2025 10C, p.88 | The 380/190 sample sizes and 87/93 means are unchanged. The weighted mean remains 89, with the same displayed answer order. |
| 2026 11I, p.14 | 2026 10 13 schoolday 1, p.18 | The steel framework remains, but manganese across two austenitic subtypes becomes chromium across ferritic and austenitic categories. |
| 2026 11J, p.43 | 2026 10F, p.66 | The graph variable changes from share of penalties to share of foundation filers. A percentage must retain its original denominator. |
| 2026 11K, p.101 | 2026 10K, p.755 | The square-prism model remains, but volume and individual-face area become total lateral area plus integer constraints. |
| 2026 11A, p.79 | 2024 3D, p.27 | The dog experiment changes from anatomy and speech-versus-nonspeech to exposure and familiar-versus-unfamiliar language. The relevant comparison changes. |
These comparisons support three different review actions. For a near-verbatim item such as the cheese transition or supernova boundary, recover the reasoning and locate its current option. For a numerical retune such as exponential decay or a coefficient sum, preserve the operation but replace every changed input. For reused context with a new claim, such as the judges, steel, dog, or foundation passage, rebuild the relevant comparison from the final sentence.
The coefficient-sum example shows why copying even a plausible intermediate result fails. In October 10H p.99, evaluating at one produces −120 and the displayed denominator 8 makes the requested sum −960. In November 11F p.171, the expression at one is −12+4=−8, so the sum is −64. The shortcut transfers; neither the expression value nor the final scaled answer does.
The table provides selected verified relationships, not a whole-month repeat percentage. A search system can find candidates because a sentence or formula looks similar, but similarity alone does not decide whether the claim, answer, or mathematical object is unchanged. Our labels describe the specific relationship established by reading the paired questions. Use them to choose practice pairs rather than to predict a future score or administration.
A study sequence that makes the repeats useful
Start with one four-block file from H–K if you want a self-contained rehearsal without choosing between alternative second modules. Reserve a file you have not already studied. If you begin with A–G, choose one second-module version per subject and keep the alternative for later practice. Combining both variants produces a larger review session, not one ordinary route through the material.
Next, organize errors by the decision that failed. For Reading and Writing, distinguish the wrong variable, the wrong comparison, an overly strong claim, and a sentence-structure mistake. For Math, distinguish an incorrect model, a lost restriction, an operation error, and a wrong final target. “Careless” is too broad to tell you what to change on the next attempt.
A useful second session is six contrast pairs: the judges graph in October 10H and 11A; the employment table in October 10E and 11F; the translation in October 10G and 11A; the decay table in October 10J and 11E; the supernova sentence in October 10C and 11G; and the prism in October 10K and 11K. For each, write one sentence beginning “What stays the same is...” and another identifying the changed condition or quantity. Solve the current version without looking at the earlier answer letter.
Then add one older comparison to test longer-term transfer. The 2024 dog-language setup is particularly useful because its new conclusion requires a different contrast. The 2025 penguin problem is useful for the opposite reason: the data remain unchanged, so you can verify that the same weighting still explains the result. The study goal is a method that survives both changed and unchanged surface details.
Five priorities summarize the practical work: read the current claim before recalling an old answer; attach every number to its unit and population; write restrictions before transforming an equation; distinguish one face, total area, and volume; and use repeated items as explanation drills rather than fresh score evidence. Return to the individual breakdowns for complete worked solutions and the source images. A strong month of review produces clearer reasons for answers, not merely a larger count of familiar pages.
