This wait is laborious and boring, couldn't they just give us the results on the day?

Results on the day would be so helpful. Say you did very bad and was wondering if you should apply to 2 or 3 LNAT uni's. The multiple choice score should be given the moment you finish and not on a random day at a random hour in 'early' February in which everyone is done applying.

I couldn't agree more- I was thinking the exact same thing! Does anyone know the logic behind it?

Maybe so that the top unis.. don't loose applicants. But really for a student its pointless and even worst jeopardizing. Why waste an application if you know you did bad? Why wait forever for those LNAT unis?

Well, I'm not sure but the only reason I can see for delaying the announcement of results is to make sure people make their choices seriously. I mean, if the LNAT results were announced right after you did the exam, people would change their college choices if it went badly. I guess, by only releasing the results well past the Jan 15th deadline for the first round of admissions, only those serious about getting into LNAT colleges apply to them and take the exam, avoiding those who take it to see what happens. It's rather underhand of them to do so, but they've got to find as many ways of tackling the competition levels as they can I suppose.

I still definitely think it's wrong though. Forget the unnecessary suspense and uncertainty regarding colleges, we paid £50 for this exam (70 quid if you wrote it abroad). I think we are entitled to some decent service from Pearson-Vue's side.

Sorry to hear that, but they may not be! Providing everything else is strong they may over look it. Best of luck 😊

One of my classmates asked the lady at the testing centre and apparently it's to prevent other unis who are not part of the LNAT consortium to see your score (without paying the fee to be an LNAT uni), which doesn't make sense since the results are sent individually to the unis

Yet again, I agree!

Medical aptitude tests are far better organised, I feel.

There was a whole scandal with Pearson VUE sending out wrong scores in 2011, lets hope they don't screw up again.

But either way we are entitled to better service and communication... thus the fee. At least a specified date and time.

Has anyone received an email? Or are the results people posting from Feedback emails from uni
if oxford rejected me pre-interview is it likely due to a low lnat score? I had an IB predicted score of 42/45 if that helps:confused:

Friend had 44/45 and was rejected without interview from Oxfrod for his low LNAT score (below 20)
