National Admissions Test for Law (LNAT) Sample Test
This test has two separate sections, A and B.
Section A : Multiple Choice
This section is divided into 12 subsections; each subsection has between
3 and 4 questions.
You should answer all 42 multiple choice questions in Section A,
selecting one of the possible answers listed for each question.
Once you have completed all 42 questions, you will be presented with an
Item Review Screen giving you the opportunity to review your responses.
Once you are happy with your responses, you should select
“End Review” and move to the next review screen.
Time allowed: 95 minutes
Solution Feedback Review
This screen shows all questions and your response as correct or incorrect.
You may not change your response.
You may view solutions to each question by selecting the
“Explain Answer” button in the top left corner of the
question.
Time allowed: Up to a maximum of 90 minutes
Section B : Essay
This section has three essay questions.
You should select and answer one question in Section B.
Time allowed: 40 minutes
There are no answers provided in this section.
The LNAT is not looking for any factual knowledge about any of the essay
topics.
Only your ability to construct a reasoned and balanced argument, giving
your arguments as well as acknowledging counter-arguments, is being
tested.
No marks are deducted for too many or too few words. We advise that
750 words is probably the maximum you could write in
the time given. The quality of your argument is more important than the
length of the essay.
