Start with the LNAT Consortium’s official Practice tests page. It links to the browser-based tutorial, onscreen sample test, downloadable practice papers, commentary and marking scheme. This is the direct source for official Law National Aptitude Test practice.
Read the tutorial before the sample test. The Consortium specifically recommends that order to familiarise candidates with controls and features, including functionality introduced from 2026. Downloaded papers help with reasoning, but they do not replace learning the onscreen interface.
For writing, use the separate Sample essays page and Hints and tips. Did you know? The official essay guidance emphasises defending a position, not simply displaying facts or announcing an opinion. Keep practice separate from registration: our LNAT booking and university-deadline guide handles that earlier administrative task.

What should I practise with the official LNAT resources?
Keep three kinds of work visible: using the interface, reading an argument accurately and building a written argument. A comfortable experience in one area does not tell you that the other two are secure.
Learn the controls before measuring your performance
The practice page describes the browser sample as a simulation of the test-centre screen. It also provides downloadable papers in PDF and RTF formats, plus commentary and a marking scheme. Choose the format that matches your immediate task.
For a first encounter, use the tutorial deliberately rather than rushing towards a score. Afterwards, note any control that interrupted your thinking. You can then return to the onscreen sample with fewer practical distractions and pay closer attention to how you read the passages.
Check the passage, not what you already believe
The Consortium’s multiple-choice tips tell candidates to work from the passage itself rather than outside knowledge. They also discuss alternatives that are close to correct, making careful distinctions important. Use that guidance when reviewing an answer you found tempting.
Write a short explanation of why the chosen answer follows and why the nearest alternative does not. If your explanation depends on a fact absent from the passage, recheck it. This turns a mistake into a precise reading question instead of a vague conclusion that you are bad at comprehension.
Use essay examples to inspect the argument
The Sample essays page offers questions and linked sample answers. It currently allows 40 minutes for the essay and recommends about 500–600 words, within a recommended maximum of 750. The Hints and tips page stresses explaining assumptions, defending a position and removing unnecessary repetition.
Choose a prompt, sketch the claim and reasons, then identify the strongest objection. After writing, ask whether each paragraph advances the argument. A sample answer is useful for comparison, not a script to memorise or a promise that a particular opinion earns an offer.
Use the preparation guide for explanation, then return to practice
The official Preparation guide page describes a free downloadable guide covering the abilities being tested, approaches to multiple-choice and essay questions, sample questions, answers and examiner rationales. Use it when an answer key alone leaves your reasoning unresolved.
Make a small review list: an inference you overstated, an alternative you dismissed too quickly, or a paragraph that repeated itself. Work on one item before the next timed attempt. For the wider application decision, use overseas university application requirements and the chosen university’s current law admissions instructions.
What should I do next?
Open the official practice page and complete the tutorial first. Choose either one passage-review task or one essay-planning task, and finish by recording a specific improvement to test next time. Check your booking and university application separately; preparation does not confirm either submission.
