Importance of LNAT

On 21st of December ı am taking the LNAT. I studied for almost two weeks but the best score ı got from practice papers in section A was 25. my IB predicted is 41 would that cover up for my LNAT? Especially for LSE, kings, durham?

if it helps i prepped for like 2/3 weeks and my highest score was like 24 i think and just got an offer from king's so hoping that means my lnat went okay - i wouldn't stress too much :smile: it's an aptitude test at the end of the day, you can only prep so much
but yeah if you're getting 25 that's pretty promising i feel, but sort of depends on type of questions you get as it's randomly generated

did you practise on arbitio? if so you probably got above 30, because king's is pretty harsh when it comes to LNAT and arbitio is extremely hard on purpose

highest i got on arbitio was like 21, i gave up on it pretty fast bc i didn’t think it was subjective enough and it was just making me demotivated! otherwise i just used the guide and then the official practice questions they have on their website. i reaaaally want to know what i got in my lnat though can’t wait for feb

I took the exam and it was so hard, I had serious timing issues. Congrats on your King's offer!!! It was on my list as well however ı am currently not really sure if I could get an offer because I heard that they are strict about the LNAT. If you are comfortable to answer what did you apply with and what is your predicted grades? I am in a complete dilemma whether ı should apply to King's or not

honestly i came out of that exam thinking i bombed it, i literally cried after LOL but it honestly really probably didn't go as bad as you thought it did. i probably wouldn't have applied to king's if i had sat my exam before i applied because i thought it was soo hard and i didn't even finish my essay because i ran out of time. but i'm glad i applied before i sat it because i wouldn't have gotten an offer from king's if i hadn't - i would say go for it, as long as you've got a couple of 'safer' options in there too!! my predicted grades were A*A*A*, and my gcses were pretty uncompetitive tbh i got 98887777664, im also a home non contextual student :smile:

Honestly applying to Kings is a risk for me because of LNAT. My options are LSE, Edinburgh, Manchester, Queen Mary and Glasgow or Nottingham. Which one do you thing is better for law? And did you get any other acceptance?

mm im not sure tbh, i know as much as you do! i didnt consider nottingham or glasgow so id just apply to the one you like most :smile: ive got no other acceptances yet apart from king's! id honestly just go for it and apply to king's, worst thing you can do is get rejected - no harm in trying esp considering the rest of your unis except lse are non-lnat! what are your predicted grades??
