LNAT Progress

Hi all! I'm preparing to sit my LNAT exam for the 2026 exam cycle, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me which platform is most representative of the real thing? I don't want to try the real LNAT papers from the website till closer to my exam. I have gotten a wide range of scores from: Arbitio, Ultimate LNAT, Practice and Pass, Passing the National Admissions Test for Law, and the Lawyer Portal. I just find it really hard as it seems the type of thinking is so different for all of these e.g., Lawyer Portal almost doesn't seem to answer its own question and is super simplistic, compared to Arbitio which makes most sense but is harder. Any help is appreciated!

What did you get on your practice tests on the lawyer portal? I found the questions super precise and weird. On the official ones I scored 28, 31 and 30 and on the lawyer portal I got 30, so pretty similar so I'm confused. I used this book 'The Complete LNAT Guide: An Experts Guide to Success' which was really challenging, I scored poorly on most of the mocks. Also used mastering the LNAT which I have heard is good and also found quite accurate myself. I scored 35, 25, 28 and 31.
