Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, UEA, Nottingham, Oxford and UCL are introducing a 2 hour test for prospective law undergraduates who wish to enter in 2005. 80 minutes will be spent on making deductions from passages in English, and 40 minutes on a themed essay. No previous knowledge of law is required.
Is anyone particularly worried about this? Does anyone have any more information on it?
One thing does strike me: don't apply to six of the above institutions just in case you do really badly on the exam.
