What is inside
- Mock 1, Mock 2 and Mock 3: 12 passages and 42 questions each, with 3 or 4 questions on each passage, timed at 95 minutes.
- 36 original argumentative passages on law, ethics, politics, science and society, none repeated between mocks.
- An explanation for every answer: why it follows from the passage, and why the most tempting wrong option does not.
| Question type | What it asks |
|---|---|
| Main conclusion | What the whole passage is arguing for, as distinct from its reasons and examples. |
| Assumption | The unstated step the argument needs in order to work. |
| Inference | What follows from the passage, and what goes further than it. |
| Strengthen or weaken | Which new fact would most help or most damage a claim. |
| Author's view | What the writer accepts, rejects or concedes, and how firmly. |
| Reasoning and structure | What a sentence, an example or a paragraph is doing in the argument. |
| Meaning in context | What a phrase means where it is used. |
The question types are our own grouping, used to score your results.
What you see after every mock
- Your score for each question type, side by side, so you can see whether you lose marks on assumptions, inferences or the author's view.
- The reasoning behind every answer, with the words in the passage it rests on.
- Your time per question, a written report on the attempt, and your progress when you retake a mock.
A score here is the share of our questions you answered correctly. It is not an LNAT score and does not predict one, and LNAT says each university uses the score in the way that best suits its own admissions system.
The LNAT, as LNAT describes it
- A 2 hour 15 minute test in two sections, taken on screen at a test centre; Pearson VUE administers the test.
- Section A: 42 multiple-choice questions on 12 argumentative passages, 3 or 4 on each, in 95 minutes. You can review your answers at any time within the 95 minutes, but not after you start Section B. The mark out of 42 is your LNAT score.
- There is a point for each right answer and none is deducted for a wrong one, so LNAT advises against leaving blanks.
- Section B: one essay from a choice of three, in 40 minutes. It is not marked by the test centre and does not count towards the LNAT score, but it is made available to your chosen universities with your score. This practice test does not cover Section B.

Before you buy
How is this different from LNAT's own practice tests?
LNAT's own sample test and practice papers are the place to start. This gives you three further full Section A mocks with different passages, an explanation for every answer, and your score by question type and time per question after each attempt.
Does it cover the essay?
No. It practises Section A only. The essay in Section B is not marked here.
If I score well here, will I score well on the LNAT?
We cannot say. Our passages and questions are not LNAT's, and LNAT says each university uses the score in the way that best suits its own admissions system. Use your scores by question type to see where you lose marks.
What do I get?
126 original questions on 36 passages in 3 mocks of 42, each timed at 95 minutes, in the full test player with a question palette and mark for review. After each mock: your score by question type, your time per question, a written report and the explanation for every answer. Retake any mock as often as you like.
How do I pay and get access?

In the United Kingdom the price is charged in pounds; elsewhere in your own currency where we support it, otherwise in Indian rupees with the local figure shown as an estimate.
