Sharpen your reading comprehension and persuasive writing for the UK Law National Aptitude Test (LNAT), with AI coaching from ThinkLikeLaw.
What is the LNAT?
The LNAT (Law National Aptitude Test) is a two-section admissions test required by a number of UK law schools, including Oxford, UCL, King's College London, LSE, Bristol, Durham, Nottingham, SOAS and Glasgow. Section A is a multiple-choice comprehension test (42 questions across 12 passages, 95 minutes). Section B is a single persuasive essay of around 500-750 words answered in 40 minutes.
The test does not assess legal knowledge. It assesses how you read, how you argue, and how well you can construct a position under time pressure. That makes it a poor candidate for last-minute cramming and a great candidate for spaced practice with feedback, which is precisely what ThinkLikeLaw is designed for.
Why the LNAT matters
For target universities, the LNAT is used alongside personal statements and predicted grades to triage applications. At Oxford and UCL it is a major sifting tool, strong applicants with weak LNAT scores routinely receive rejections regardless of A-Level predictions. A confident Section B essay and a fast, accurate Section A score above the 22/42 median make a material difference to your offer chances.
