Lnat help

Hi guys, i only decided last week that i was going to take the LNAT and so haven’t had much time to prepare at all which is my own fault but I had an unexpected change of heart!
I have been using LNAT exam ninjas premium subscription and I am wondering if anyone who has taken the real exam and used that site has found it to be accurate?
I just got a score of 20 on the multiple choice after feeling quite confident and so I am feeling even more stressed and discouraged now, does anyone have any tips on how to quickly increase their score?
Also, what are everyone’s tips for the essay as I am thinking of structuring it similarly to a History essay and using PEEL
Honestly any advice or help is appreciated - thank you : )

Which LNAT unis are you thinking of applying to? Depending on the ones you're looking at, the mcq section may not be overly important as some favor the essay section, e.g. UCL. Personally, I am using arbitio as it makes the questions more difficult, so lower scores are expected. If exam ninja is similar to this then I wouldn't worry, however if that is not the case then I would recommend to go over the sections you are less confident in. Once you see a pattern in where you are losing marks, you can work on this and this should effectively increase your score. As I previously mentioned, if you are applying to UCL, they will favor your essay so if your score is not amazing, you still have a chance. KCL on the other hand automatically rejects non-contextual home students with a score below 30.
Regarding the essay, I personally don't take history so I can't tell you whether that's a good idea, however you can find the mark scheme for the essay online. Aim to be slightly below the recommended word count and make yourself knowledgeable with current affairs, if not already. Make sure your points are clear and concise, with a strong and very persuasive argument.
What date is your LNAT? I hope this was helpful, my LNAT is on the 02/12/24 so I'm not the most experienced person on the topic but I'm sure you'll be fine! I was just wondering what your 5 choices are and your stats. Good luck :smile:

Sorry I completely forgot to come back on here! I think it went okay I’m not too sure. My passages were rather difficult for some of them (especially the science based ones I faced) so I struggled for time but the essay section had some really good choices. I would say the LNAT ninja exam practice papers and the actual practice ones were really helpful and similar to the actual test. The test centre is basically identical to the theory test centre rooms if you have done that. They also give you a whiteboard which was helpful for notes and planning the essay.
