What was your experience of taking the LNAT?

1.

The only time you get between the two sections is the time you take to click 'proceed' after section A. There's no officially designated time- but I suppose you can pause and read the agreement, and take that as time off between the two.

2.

Pockets were checked. Ears, no.

3.

Pretty calm. There was a person taking another test (not LNAT) at my centre, who suddenly said 'infinitive!' in the middle, rather loudly. He was shushed, and the remainder of the test was really silent. They also provided us with noise-cancelling headphones in case we needed it. I felt slightly cold- but that might have just been the excitement. I wasn't nervous during the test, it was a pretty comfortable environment.

1.

Yes, of about 1:30s to 2 minutes (can't remember exactly). It feels like forever but I'd so so recommend you use the whole time to unwind and chill. It made me feel a lot better just taking those extra few seconds. Don't worry, it goes on automatically once the timer runs out.

2.

Yes, even my shirt collar was turned inside out lol (which was a faff because I was wearing a tie as part of my school uniform).

3.

Before: tense-ish. There were 3 of us and we were all staggered starts by around a few minutes, and we were all very nervous. During: mostly okay, except occasionally when people would leave/argue with the invigilators. That got on my nerves because my concentration kept lapsing. After: I was genuinely exhausted. I went back to school, but honestly now I think I shouldn't have done.
