do i have to take the LNAT test if?....

im planning on studying law in 2008 and going to apply to universities such as... brunel, middlesex, kingston, lancaster and westminister

as none of these universities ask for LNAT test scores so should i still take the test or not?
would it be beneficial for me if i did take the test and have a better advantage of getting through the application process for these unis even though they don't ask for LNAT test scores?

or would it just be a waste of my time since these unis don't ask for it?

lol i am soo confused!! :|

If the unis don't ask for it, you don't do it.

They have to pay to get access to your scores. So if they're not part of the LNAT group, they won't get your scores anyway. It'll be a complete waste of time and money.

Unless he still haven't gotten an offer when the deadlines approach and LNAT results are lifted. Then, they can simply ask him what he got.
Perhaps, though, he then would have to send his UCAS quite late so he wouldn't get an offer/reject before the deadline.

Why on earth would you want to do the LNAT when you're not applying to any LNAT universities? It'd be like doing the BMAT when you want to study History?

The universities can't see your score and even if they do by some freak chance manage to get hold of it they wouldn't be allowed to use it.

In other news, there's a particularly amusing banner above where I am posting. University of Bedforshire are claiming that they are 7th in the UK for Law. I wonder what on earth that is based on. EDIT: aha, they're 7th for student satisfaction. How amusing, and misleading.

I've heard Leicester can be quite lenient on offers, and sometimes hand out ABB, so perhaps you should apply there instead of on of your other alternatives.

What does a small 'b' mean btw?

Your systems are soo confusing..

the small 'b' is the AS that im doing

i was considering on applying to Leicester but then changed my mind coz i also wanted the other choices! my 1st choice is Lancaster and their grade requirement is AAB do you think they will be lenient on offers?
