Lnat help pls

hi so, i have my lnat in a week and i need help with section b, my issue is that im a very poor speller and slow at typing so this is taking up a chunk of my time, leaving me like 5 mins to do para 3 and a conclusion, so do you think it would be okay to do intro, para1, para2 and a conclusion, both the paras would be longer and include a counter argument, but my only worry is would they view this as poor planning and not enough content, but i dont want to rush it or end with no time to check, and im better at waffling rather than being concise

The test is looking for concise expression of arguments. Please try not to waffle. For examples of succinct presentations, look at The Economist.

There is no right or wrong number of paragraphs for the essay. I assume that you have seen this -

It would probably be better to submit a complete essay which contains spelling errors than an essay which is incomplete because you have spent time checking spelling. Better still, a short, complete essay with no or few errors of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but do the best you can in the time you have.

Good luck!

Don’t worry about spelling, that’s not what they are marking. They want clever points backed up by logical reasoning. Don’t worry about the structure being too formal, as long as it’s clear; if you don’t have a traditional conclusion that reiterates your points etc… that’s fine.
