LNAT help

I’m consistently getting around 16-18 on Arbitio for my LNAT practice , but I’m told I need to be getting 28+ for Oxford, is it too late to improve that much before October the 7th?

It’s stressing me out a lot as I’m apply to LSE as well. Do LSE also want 28+ score?

Ditch Arbitio. It's expensive and discombobulating. Do LNAT practice tests instead. Read a lot of news and current affairs.

There is no hit or miss LNAT score for Oxford. In 2023-24, Oxford made offers to people with LNAT scores as low (IIRC) as 16 and rejected without interview an applicant who scored 37. IIRC, the average LNAT score among offer recipients was 27.

I do not know what approach LSE etc take to the LNAT, but others here may know that.

Thank you so much. Do you think I should still sit my LNAT, because seeing my scores is so discouraging

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more/ Or close the wall up with our English dead.
Get rich or die tryin'.

Kommen sie, ihr Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?
Audere est facere.
Per ardua ad astra.
And so on.

Arbitio has done nothing except steal your money and make you feel glum. You have weeks to practise by using LNAT tests and reading current affairs.

Load Arbitio onto a rocket and fire it into outer space. That would be a better use of money.

LSE will generally want a pretty high score yes

Hey, I'm also revising for my LNAT on Arbito now, with my test on October 11th. I'm stressed as well as Arbito scores are around 14-15 at the moment. However, remember that Arbito is significantly harder than the real test. Also, think of your application as more than your LNAT score, considering GCSE and A Level grades, personal statement and the essay section of the LNAT. This all could impact their weighting of your MCQ score.
Personally I'm going to continue consistently revising these next few months, but I am applying to mostly universities that don't consider the LNAT to be on the safe side!
Good luck :smile:
