Congrats on sitting your LNAT!! I've heard that apparently this year there is only 4 possible answers rather than five- did you find this made the exam any easier or harder than any practises you may have done?

Hi can you help me understand the difficulty of the actual paper with sources like lawmind, oxbridgemind, law mint, online sample papers (of 2010) uploaded on the LNAT website etc

Hi! I'd love to but sadly I only used arbitio, the ultimate lnat guide and the online mock test. The mock test i felt was slightly harder due to the higher number of question options (A-E), arbitio was extremely hard and not reflective of the difficulty of the actual test at all and the lnat guide was best.

I do, i liked two of the questions but felt one was a lot more complicated. Obviously i cant say due my agreements in the exam.

Ah that's good!! I wonder why they chose to change it to four as there seems to be little info about it online?

When you got to two answers that you thought were both right, how did you choose between the two, because I find this really hard.

I picked the topic i felt I could argue better, personally would enjoy to write about and also actually agreed with. While obviously all that matters is how well you can argue your point really, i felt that agreeing with it definitely made it easier!

hi! i've been using the lnat guide religiously since i started revising, and gave up on arbitio because i felt it wasn't reflective or consistent after about 7 tests. would you say the guide was accurate to what you sat in the exam? mine's tomorrow i'm really nervous!! i'm hoping to score enough for bristol and to get my cambridge interview but we'll see 😪 i've been averaging in the 30s with the guide and have done the two given section As on the lnat website and got 31 on paper 1 and 33 on paper 2. i'm just really nervous im giving myself a sense of false hope

I wonder if the average will be higher this year because of this? 🤔 Still, I'd rather do well (hopefully) and have there be a high average than do badly and there be a low average.

Hi!
Compared to arbitio, how do you think the difficulty compared? Also, what kind of scores have you been achieving on arbitio, i understand it is harder than the real thing, but it is still very demoralising

hi! so i sat my lnat yesterday and to be honest the actual questions i was asked were often similar to arbitio (albeit a little less waffley). others were super easy like ridiculously so!! my average on arbitio was 22 🙂 but that’s not to say i didn’t score low on others, i think my lowest was 15 but highest 27, so super unreliable

Same here! I've had scores around 26 and equally some around 15. It's definitely the lack of consistency that worried me as I thought I have good and off days...praying friday is not an off day haha. In a sense it is relieving that some questions are like arbitio because I am so programmed to reading and interpreting the questions as arbitio wants, and now when I look at some easy questions (from the ultimate LNAT collection book) I often get them wrong from overthinking and overcomplicating the answers as sort of required to do in arbitio.
