What is LNAT?
The LNAT is an admissions aptitude test required by applicants (international and local) to nine UK and two non-UK leading universities.
Universities that require the test include: UCL, Oxford, KCL, LSE, Durham, SUSS
A 2-hour exam that tests comprehension, interpretation, analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction.
Consists of a multiple-choice section and an essay-writing section where individuals choose from one of three questions.
Examinees can only take the exam once and must sit the test in September or October of the year they are applying. Following completion of the test, a candidate’s scores and essay are sent directly to the universities the candidate ticked when registering for the test. The essays are not marked but retained for the university admissions committee to read.
The highest possible score is 42 and the international average is just over 20. Most of our students score above 25!
