Lnat

There is no pass mark. You just get a raw score out of 30. Nobody yet knows what the average score will be this year. Nor do they know what will be considered a high score. You can't analogise easily from last year's scores, which were out of 24, not out of 30.

Also, don't forget that the essay (which is not marked but only read) could make all the difference. A bad essay could counteract a good score, or vice versa.

1. We don't want you to waste 15 minutes of your life twiddling your thumbs, waiting to be allowed to start the essay.

2. We also want the performance curve to be a bit less steep to either side of the average. More questions means (probably) more spread.

You do realise you can start the essay whenever you want but once you go on to the essay you cant go back to the multiple choice section

Which UCAS number do you put onto your LNAT profile? I have a card number, an application number (thanks to the welcome letter this morning :smile:

), and a personal ID number ... anyone know the answer?

^ Last year I believe it was the number beginning "0500" which if I rack my brains was my Application number.

Of course do ignore me until you have confirmation from someone far more reliable than I... :smile:

Good luck

Your UCAS number is also known as your UCAS application number. When I last looked it had 9 digits. Maybe you could check this for me? It would be good to have confirmation of the number of digits this year - then I will post an appropriate FAQ on the LNAT website. Thanks.
