I definitely think the LNAT is the way forward. Their difficult, and although there’s a possibility of guesswork involved in the multiple choice, the essay does help distinguish between candidates further. I personally don’t think I don’t to well on it, but its much fairer to judge prospective students on their ability to do well on the LNAT, then on how well they done in exams when they were 15/16. Incidentally I feel GCSE's are for the most able students are measure of discipline and how hard people work rather than actual ability as they are fairly easy. Many people will say tough, and that those who got good GCSE's deserve it more as they were willing to put in the work. However, people mature at different rates and how focused/intelligent a student was at 15/16 is no indication of how focused and intelligent a student they have matured to in the next couple of years. Students should be judged on ability and potential, not their past, and therefore I feel LNAT is definitely the way forward.
