[Singapore GCE A levels] LNAT test inquiries

I am a Singaporean student taking the 2026 GCE A levels this year, and I am confused about the LNAT timings to apply for UK universities. When i searched online, the results showed "LNAT Key deadlines include October 15, 2025, for Oxbridge applicants, while most other universities require the test to be sat by January 20, 2026, or early in the new year"

But it is already February 2026 so does this mean it is too late for me to take the LNAT test now if I am intending to applying for Oxbridge or LSE/UCL after I receive my A level results in 2027? Or will I be considered the 2027 application cycle but I though oxbridge will enroll you based on the prelim results in J2? Thank you for anyone who would like to clarifiy.

It maybe late to apply for September 2026 entry to LNAT unis (Oxbridge, Bristol, Durham, KCL, LSE and UCL), even though you are an international student. But you may check the individual uni's website to see whether they still have spaces for international students.

If you mean September 2027 entry, you should sit LNAT between 1 September and 15 October 2026 for Oxbridge. And submit your UCAS application before 15 October 2026. Good luck.

Hi there, if you intend to start university in September 2027 you can apply for the LNAT from September 2026. I had a really great tutor who helped me with the LNAT and admissions as I was also international. PM me if you'd like :smile:
