How is the LNAT examination administered and who administers it?The LNAT examination is a computer-based test (CBT) and is administered by Pearson Vue at one of its test centres. You will sit in front of a computer terminal and do the whole test on the computer, including the essay, which you will type into the computer. You can register for a LNAT test by following this link.
How often can I sit the LNAT test?You can only sit the LNAT test once so you have to ensure that you are adequately prepared.
When can I sit the LNAT test?You can sit the LNAT test any time between September and June but you have to sit the examination in the year in which you are applying to the respective universities. You are advised to sit the test as early as possible in the academic year so that you can submit your scores in a timely fashion.
What is the structure of the LNAT test?
The examination is two and a quarter hours long and comprises 2 sections, A & B.
- Section A consists of 42 multiple choice questions. The questions are based on 12 argumentative passages, with 3 or 4 multiple choice questions on each. You will be given 95 minutes to answer all of the questions. You will be able to review your answers at any time during the 95 minutes, but you will not be able to return to the multiple choice section once you begin Section B.
- In Section B you will have 40 minutes to answer one of three essay questions on a range of subjects to demonstrate your ability to argue economically and to come to a conclusion. You will need a good command of written English.
When will I receive my LNAT scores?This is especially important: the scores are released only twice a year dependent on the period in which you sat the LNAT. Candidates who sat the LNAT on or before 20 January will receive their results in early February. Candidates who sit the test after 20 January will receive their results in early August 2017.
What is the maximum score for the LNAT?The maximum score of the LNAT is 42, though a raw score is not a very useful indicator. More interesting and indicative is your percentile score: for example, if you score 29/42 then you attain a 69% percentile, or you are in the top 31% of test takers. The essays are marked separately and given scores.
