A Note on the Nature of This Book — Ramana Rao MLV
A short, personal statement from the author on the foundational assumption behind every test preparation book — and why the cognitive training in Master LNAT equips you to handle whatever appears on your test, including question types not covered in these pages.
AUTHOR'S PERSONAL NOTE
“Give a person a fish, and he will have food for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will have food for life.”
This principle has guided my teaching career for over four decades. Over the years, I have observed one truth repeatedly: persistence and perseverance make everything possible. The LNAT does not test intelligence alone. It tests skills — and skills can be developed.
