How important is the LNAT score for Cambridge?

Hi,
I took my LNAT a few weeks back and am applying to Cambridge. In hindsight, there is this one MCQ question which I answered correctly but at the last minute, I changed my answer to the wrong one. It's really annoying because I know LNAT scores often come down to the wire with 1-2 marks making or breaking an application, and I would hate it if that mistake costs me my place simply because I was one mark off. I understand law is a competitive course, which is why it is so worrying.

For Cambridge (and other unis too, but especially Cam) would a 1-2 mark difference in LNAT with another candidate really be a make-or-break factor? I know LSE etc. place an unreal emphasis on the test, but I was wondering whether the same is the case with Cambridge since they have interviews (and my college asks for written work too). More importantly, would something like a one or two-mark difference be a reason to not call a candidate to interview? I feel like I could do better at the interview, but am worried I might not make it.

Hi, did you ever find anything out as I’m struggling to find data online that discusses as to how much Cambridge weigh the LNAT score (perhaps because they used the CLAT for so long).

Hi. Wow this takes me back to the panic I was in last year at this time, lol.

Personally, having gone through the whole process, I don’t think the LNAT score was as heavily weighed as the essay was, and it did seem they focused more on the essay section as that was brought up for me at interview too.

For reference, I got a 31 in the LNAT in the MCQ section but didn’t get a place at Cambridge, although I was placed in the winter pool (unsucessfuly).

The most important thing by far, I felt, was the interview and really that was my only stumbling block as my LNAT turned out pretty decent. If you’ve already sat the LNAT, don’t worry about it. Usually it turns out better than you think and Cambridge do seem to have a more holistic approach. Hope that helps, best of luck

Hi there. 31 out of 40 sounds incredible and it is really unfortunate that they rejected you.

I am to sit the interview in 2 weeks time and Im feeling incredibly nervous. Having said that it was the interview which perhaps brought you down, what would be some tips or insights that you can share on the interview? (Literally living through panic mode rn)
