LNAT - UK law admissions

Online LNAT tutoring

The LNAT is the National Admissions Test for Law, used by a group of UK and international universities. It tests reading, reasoning and argument rather than legal knowledge, which is why method and practice move the score. Our tutors teach both sections one-to-one.

What the LNAT tests

The LNAT takes 2 hours 15 minutes in two sections. Section A has 42 multiple-choice questions on 12 argumentative passages, three or four questions each, in 95 minutes. You can review your answers within the 95 minutes, but once you start Section B you can't go back.

In Section B you have 40 minutes to write one essay from a choice of three questions on a range of subjects. Universities use the essay in different ways: as a basis for interview questions, compared with the personal statement, or to separate borderline candidates.

Deadlines for 2027 entry

Registration and booking opened on 1 August 2026, and testing started on 1 September 2026. Each university group has its own deadline:

✓ Oxford and Cambridge: book by 15 September 2026 and sit the LNAT by 15 October 2026
✓ KCL, LSE and UCL: sit the LNAT by 31 December 2026
✓ Bristol and Durham: book and sit by 13 January 2027
✓ Other LNAT universities: book by 20 January 2027 and sit by 25 January 2027

Where marks are lost

✓ Answering Section A from general knowledge instead of the passage
✓ Spending too long on one passage and rushing the last few
✓ Essays that survey both sides without reaching a clear conclusion
✓ Leaving no time to plan the essay before writing
