LNAT

SCARED! do not know where to start and what to do, very undecided whether tobook LNAT, should I do it even if my first choice does not want LNAT?

Thanks I'm at UCL.

With regards to the LNAT, I found it pretty tough and came out worried that I wouldn't have met UCL's benchmark. One piece of advice I would give is to have a general knowledge of what's happening in the world, and also to think about forming an opinion on common ethical issues - this will really help you prepare for the essay questions which are just as important for many universities. Although they don't expect you to have a perfect answer or any statistics etc, they will be looking for a strongly argued answer so confident knowledge and your own opinion is key.

For the multiple choice, I would say simply do as many practice tests as you can and identify extremely early the ones you find the hardest or always get wrong - usually you can get the gist of where your mind tricks you (e.g. what to look for on the 'pick the MOST correct answer of multiple correct answers' type question) and what techniques will help you identify the right answer. There are only so many ways they can ask you something, so if you can work on identifying what each question is designed to test this will stand you in good stead. I used a preparation book for this purpose only, simply because it gave advice on how to make a good guess if you have no idea and how to logically think your way around a problem, but I wouldn't say this is at all a requirement.

Hope this helps let me know if you have any more questions!!

Why book did you purchase for preparation? And is it easily accessible or cheap? I only ask this because I do not have unlimited resources and so my school librarian usually buys the books I need!

I have only sat on full LNAT past paper, and scored 25, the cohort for that year averaged at 17, so all things considered, I think that's a good base to start.

There is no need to purchase any books!! Just use the free practice tests that LNAT have on their website. LNAT make clear that people are simply trying to profit, I sat the LNAT without any books and scored well above average, just use their practice tests they also help you to get the feel for the test as well as the content.

Did you ever find out the answers to these?

I've got my LNAT tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous. I had planned on reading lots of newspapers beforehand to prepare for the essay, but I just haven't had time!

Booked mine on the 8th Oct lads.

What about you guys?

Can I just ask, will you apply after the 8th then? I'm applying next year and I'm a bit confused as to when you apply!

you apply in the year you want to send of applications for unis. so if your entry year is 2016 you do it this year before applications for unis are closed

Yeah I understand that, I mean for the LNAT, do you apply after you have done it or apply before, do the Uni's get the results through UCAS?

How much importance is placed on the LNAT?

Is three weeks enough time to prepare for my LNAT? What is the best use of my time?! Help!

Hi! My LNAT is on 8th October, so I've got under 3 weeks, eek! I think you have enough time for sure. Just make sure you do as many practice tests as you can, and catch up on current affairs. Good luck

Thanks for reassuring me! Is that all you've done to prepare?
