If you used Clearing in 2024, how did you find it?

law

those currently studying law at uni, need some help. after a long summer and some dissapointment with my alevel results, obviously i want to retake those exams and after a lot of deliberation ive decided i might want to study law. one issue tho. after having to figure out so much, completely forgot there's an admissions test that most unis require you to take in order to accept you. now im stumped. it's already september and from what ive researched, the dealine is end of december. not alot of time for someone who has 3 subjects to study for (one is a completely new one), figure out my ucas application and find an exam centre to take my exams. i don't necessarily doubt i can prep for it, but there are so many other factors, and revising for my exams are way more important (im paying 1k for these exams so its crucial i dont flop them). also, with the experience of taking the ucat this time last year, i didnt do very well at it due to focusing on revision for my subjects (look how that turned out, the irony would make me laugh if it didnt make me cry first), so i feel like its a humongous risk and honestly, i just dont have the time for it. i saw very few unis that don't require lnats, but those have ridiculously high entry requirements, so now i just wanna drown in a pool of my own tears. im at a neverending crossroads and would appreciate some advice. thanks. (p.s. if anyone can think of any unis specifically in london, if u can't that's fine, in another life ill give u a tenner 🙂 ).

The LNAT involves multiple-choice questions testing comprehension and analytical skills, and an essay question. It's not an exam to revise for, as it doesn't test knowledge of a particular subject. You can prepare for the LNAT by taking practice tests, and by reading news and current affairs.

Only nine universities require applicants to take the LNAT. These universities are -

•

University of Bristol

•

University of Cambridge

•

Durham University

•

University of Glasgow

•

Kings College London

•

London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

•

University of Oxford

•

SOAS

•

UCL

Dozens of universities do not require applicants to take the LNAT, and the entrance requirements of those universities range from high to low.

QMUL (in east London) and RGUL (in Surrey) are two examples of universities in or near London which do not require the LNAT.
