What's a good LNAT score?

I'm planning on applying for Law, 2016 entry, and am currently preparing for the LNAT. I was wondering what's considered a good LNAT score for the multiple choice section, now that they've increased the number of questions from 30 to 42. Would Oxford and/or the other unis that require the LNAT accept a score of, say, 30 out of 42, or higher? Thanks in advance :smile:

Are you kidding me? 30 is genius. I went to Oxford for a Law summer school, and they said 22-28 is great. However, they do get people who get slightly less than that (and a Professor said that one person who was made an offer had a score of '9' in the recent years). This is all because they do not use the LNAT scores as a way of picking people, but combine it with all other aspects of your application. This means that if your LNAT score is below average (which I believe was 19/20 recently, but do not quote me on that), but your personal statement and GCSE grades are outstanding, then you should get an interview.

So in answer to your question, the average, and thus what is considered a 'good' score should be slightly higher, because there are more questions. But a score does not have to be 30 to be a 'good' one.

Hope I helped at least slightly.

Umm it's always been out of 42? As far as I'm aware, anything in excess of 25 is rather strong. I hope that helps.

Not difficult to google and look at the average scores from previous years. Anything above average is obviously good.
