LNAT Preparation PDF
Taking the LNAT is a key step towards realising your goal of becoming a lawyer/solicitor or pursuing a career in the legal field. Law is an exciting field with many opportunities, but to secure a position at top firms, a highly regarded degree is essential. This process can feel overwhelming, and many students are unsure how to create a standout application.
You can get your preparation off on the right foot by downloading our LNAT Preparation Handbook. Our handbook guides you through the basics of the LNAT, provides actionable tips to help you succeed and includes a full practice question and example essay.
What is the LNAT?
The Law National Aptitude Test (LNAT) is an aptitude exam, not a test of legal knowledge, used by various UK universities for their law courses. Taken on a computer, it helps universities assess candidates' reasoning abilities, comprehension of text, and writing skills, often as part of the shortlisting process before interviews.
Section A: This section consists of 12 text passages, each followed by three or four multiple-choice questions. In total, you’ll need to answer 42 questions within 95 minutes.
Section B: This section requires you to write an essay in response to one of three prompts covering various topics. You will have 40 minutes to complete it. It assesses your ability to construct a coherent and persuasive argument, a crucial skill for a career in law.
How To Prepare for the LNAT
Preparing for the LNAT, like any exam, is crucial to achieving a strong score and securing your place to study Law. While there are no past papers, specimen papers are available to help you practice. Unlike traditional exams, the LNAT is an aptitude test focused on assessing skills like critical thinking and your ability to build compelling arguments. Starting your preparation early is essential to maximize your chances of success.
