What is the LNAT?
The LNAT (Law National Aptitude Test) is used by Oxford, Cambridge and other leading UK law schools to assess applicants for undergraduate Law. It doesn't test legal knowledge — it measures the reading, reasoning and argument skills that law degrees demand, through a multiple-choice section and an essay.
Who takes the LNAT
- Applicants for undergraduate Law degrees
- Required by around 11 universities — including Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, KCL, LSE, Bristol, Durham, Nottingham and SOAS
- It assesses aptitude for law, not prior legal knowledge
Format
- Computer-based at a Pearson VUE centre, 2 hours 15 minutes
- Section A: 42 multiple-choice questions on 12 passages, in 95 minutes — scored out of 42 (your "LNAT score"), no negative marking
- Section B: one essay from a choice of three, in 40 minutes
- No calculators or dictionaries
When & how you sit it
- Booking opens 1 August; you book your own slot at a Pearson VUE centre
- Oxford & Cambridge: register and sit by mid-October
- Most other universities: deadlines around late January
- One attempt per admissions cycle
Good to know
- Section A is scored out of 42; for top law schools, the high 20s is competitive
- Section B isn't given a number — admissions tutors read it directly
- Fee around £75 (UK/EU) or £120 elsewhere; bursaries are available if you're eligible
- Preparation is about reading and reasoning, not memorising
Dates, fees and requirements are set by the LNAT consortium and each university and can change between cycles — always check lnat.ac.uk and your chosen universities before you register.

Jay
Oxford Law (Jurisprudence) — First Class
I'm a First Class graduate in BA Jurisprudence from St Catherine's College, Oxford, with Firsts in six of my nine papers — Administrative, Jurisprudence, Commercial, Copyright, Land and Trusts. My college awarded me the Ward-Taylor Prize for outstanding academic performance and a College Exhibition, alongside book prizes in Land and Commercial Law. I scored 28 on the LNAT with a First Class essay, and I tutor the whole Law application from start to finish.
I've been tutoring Oxbridge Law admissions for over a year, working closely with more than ten students and with over twenty in total including one-off advisory and interview sessions. I cover personal statements, super-curriculars, entrance tests and interviews — the entire process. Students I've worked with have gone on to places at Oxford, including Merton College and Christ Church in the 2026 cycle, and at the University of Pennsylvania. My teaching emulates the Oxbridge tutorial and supervision system, building confidence, writing and genuine curiosity, and every session trains transferable skills across several admissions components. With thorough feedback, you'll always know exactly what to work on next.

Livvy
Oxford Law (Jurisprudence) — First Class
I recently graduated with a First Class BA in Jurisprudence (Law with Spanish Law) from the University of Oxford, where I ranked 2nd out of 221 students and received multiple Faculty and College prizes for academic performance. I scored 28 on the LNAT, and I've since received an offer to study for an LL.M. at Harvard Law School. My teaching is tailored to each student's goals, with a particular focus on exam technique and achieving top grades.
I advised Year 12 students through my school's Law Society on their university applications — covering personal statements, entrance tests, interview practice and super-curricular reading — and three of them received Oxford offers in 2023. Alongside my studies I secured five training contract offers from leading US and Magic Circle law firms in my first application cycle, so I can also advise aspiring solicitors on what comes after the degree. I have experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students in essay-based subjects as well as supporting undergraduate law applicants through LNAT and admissions preparation.

Isabelle
Oxford Law with Legal Studies in Europe — St Hugh's
I'm a Law student at the University of Oxford at St Hugh's College, studying Law with Legal Studies in Europe. I achieved 34 in the LNAT when I sat it last year, so I understand first-hand how demanding and overwhelming the test can be. I have experience working with primary school children and bring a patient, approachable style to teaching, working at each student's own pace and focusing on their individual strengths and weaknesses.
Whether a student has experience with argumentative essay writing at A-level but needs more support with the multiple-choice section, or is more confident with multiple-choice questions but wants to develop their reasoning in essays, lessons can be tailored to their needs. I place particular emphasis on the LNAT's demanding time constraints, helping students develop an efficient approach while building their reasoning skills in an accessible and supportive way. Having sat the test recently myself, I know exactly what it feels like on the day.

Vybhavi
Oxford Law — Somerville College
Hi! I'm Vybhavi, a Law student at Somerville College, Oxford, with several years of tutoring and mentoring experience. Having gone through the Oxford admissions process fairly recently myself, I know how overwhelming it can seem, and I really enjoy making it feel more manageable and helping students become confident in their own abilities. I achieved 33/42 in the LNAT and now tutor students in LNAT preparation, personal statements and university interview practice.
Over the past year I've supported students through several stages of the admissions process, particularly those applying for Law and to competitive universities — including one student who went on to secure an offer from Oxford. My admissions tutoring covers LNAT preparation, personal statement support, super-curricular development and interview preparation. For the LNAT I work on both multiple-choice technique and essay writing, drawing on my own experience of achieving 33/42. I've also worked as an English mentor, taught English in Japan, and delivered debating and public-speaking workshops to over 350 students. My lessons are friendly and tailored to the individual — I focus on helping students understand how to approach difficult questions rather than simply giving them model answers.

Liza
Cambridge Law — Murray Edwards College
Hi, I'm Liza (pronounced Lee-zah). I have just graduated from Murray Edwards College, Cambridge where I loved reading law and am excited to maximise your chance to do the same! I also did a year studying abroad in the Netherlands as part of my degree. I was Speakers Secretary for the Cambridge University Law Society and now have a training contract lined up at a Big Law firm. During my A levels I achieved A*A*A*A in Maths, Further Maths, English Literature and History respectively. I'm passionate about moulding students' unique interests into an impressive and convincing narrative for Oxbridge admissions.
I have carried out practice interviews across two application cycles for Law at Oxbridge. I generally run 40 minutes of a mock interview using material from my law degree. I will send this in advance for you to read, as in a real Oxbridge interview. I will then question you on it. This can include academic legal commentary, statutes, problem questions, and hypothetical scenarios. I will then continue on to 20 minutes of feedback on how to restructure your answers and what the admissions tutors were actually looking for. I can also recommend super-curricular activities and find specific readings based on your interests to impress admissions tutors in your personal statement, and support you through the writing and editing process. I am also passionate about teaching law and can run sessions on niche legal areas of your interest from my degree so you feel genuinely comfortable discussing the law you mentioned in your personal statement at interview. I can also assist talking strategy on choosing between Oxford and Cambridge.

Dorothea
Oxford Law graduate
I'm a recent Law graduate from Oxford with a real passion for helping applicants reach their potential. I scored 28 in the LNAT, and I've guided students through every part of the law application — multiple-choice strategy and essay technique, personal statements, and Oxford-style mock interviews. One of my mentees went on to receive an offer to read Law at Oxford.
I've delivered tailored LNAT preparation to several students — including here on MyOxbridgeTutor — giving detailed feedback on practice essays and multiple-choice strategy, and run tutorial-style sessions on jurisprudence, constitutional and criminal law. Through access and outreach work I've supported many state-school and underrepresented applicants, and I'm experienced at breaking down technical legal ideas into something clear and approachable. I also tutor GCSE History, Maths and English.

Sarah
Oxford Law graduate
Hi! I'm Sarah, a Law graduate from the University of Oxford. I scored 28 in the LNAT, and I take an individualised, student-centred approach — working with you (and your parents) to find the methods that keep you engaged and reaching your potential. I've supported students with their Law applications, from personal statements to entrance-test preparation and admissions interviews.
I've tutored students of all ages and backgrounds in English and Maths, including students with special educational needs and those learning English as a second language. Several of my previous students have been neurodivergent — ADHD and autism — and I adapt my teaching to suit how each student learns best. Alongside the LNAT, I help with Oxford Law interview preparation and personal statement writing.
