LNAT Information

If you are preparing for the LNAT in 2026, the single most useful thing you can do is sit realistic

How SOAS uses the LNAT: optional for standard-qualification applicants (and can earn a lower offer), required for non-standard qualifications.

How LSE uses the LNAT: the multiple-choice score matters most, the essay is not used for most applicants, no interview, and a 31 December LNAT deadline.

Cambridge now requires the LNAT for Law, replacing the Cambridge Law Test. How it’s used, both sections, the essay, and the 15 October deadline.

Nottingham no longer requires the LNAT. Here’s the current position, why old lists are wrong, and whether you still need to prepare.

How King’s College London uses the LNAT: required for all law applicants, the 31 December LNAT deadline, and what is and isn’t published.

How Durham uses the LNAT: no minimum score, both sections always assessed, the January deadline, and exactly what selectors want in your essay.

How Glasgow uses the LNAT: required for non-graduate LLB applicants, judged holistically with no published score, and the January deadline.

How Bristol uses the LNAT: no minimum score, a mainly academic assessment, the January deadline, and how its staff mark the essay.

How UCL uses the LNAT: offer-holders average 30, no interview, the January UCAS deadline with a 31 December LNAT cut-off, and how the essay counts.
