Desperate Advice Needed - LNAT & UCAS id
10
I’m resitting my A-level exams and applying to universities that use the LNAT for law.
I sat the LNAT in October but only submitted my UCAS application in January.
When I decided to resit my A-levels, I created a new UCAS account assuming that I needed to do so. This gave me a new UCAS ID.
When I sat my LNAT exam, I used this UCAS ID. However, now that I’ve submitted my UCAS application, it’s linked my old and new UCAS applications together and given me my old UCAS ID.
This is an issue as I didn’t use my old UCAS ID for my LNAT exam (as mentioned). Now, universities are claiming they can’t find my results as obviously my old UCAS ID wasnt used.
So, what am I supposed to do?
Should I change my UCAS ID details for the LNAT or do I need to tell the universities - will they believe me?

If you logon to the Pearson Vue website and change your UCAS id everything should be all good- Ik some people who were in a similar position (because they had forgotten to enter their UCAS id) and all they had to do was enter their correct UCAS id for the LNAT

Just keep an eye on your Inbox and your Junk mail, as many Unis will ask you to add your LNAT id to their portal as a double-check.
