Is specific information required for LNAT essay?

I am taking my LNAT soon & am particularly worried about section B… I have never studied law before, and have been revising structure but I’m worried that my lack of knowledge will have an effect on my marks.. Is this the case?? And is there any way I can revise other than to practice structure/ look at practice questions??

Hello! I don't study Law either and the LNAT Section B questions are constructed in a way where specific law knowledge isn't needed. Questions commonly focus on social questions so very specific evidence isn't needed. By evidence, I would suggest pretty open ideas to avoid getting too into a very specific and narrow point and narrow your entire argument. My essay question was on whether we should ban private schools and I didn't use any specific evidence as I spoke about the social idea behind it, with an almost imbedding of social superiority from such along with the unfairness these create for less funded schools and my examples then were very vague, such as talking about financially disadvantaged children and some schools lacking the same level of resources and supplies as private schools, therefore constructing this unevenness in opportunities for the future for children depending entirely on their financial status. So, don't worry!! Read the news and also I would recommend having conversations about the news or popular social ideas with friends so your mind already has opinions on popular areas!
