What LNAT score do you need?
Aim for or more out of . That is the offer-holder average at Oxford, UCL and King's.
Your score is Section A, out of 42
One mark per right answer, nothing lost for a wrong one. The essay adds no marks.
Offer-holder averages by university
| University | Offer-holder average |
|---|---|
| Oxford | (2026 entry) |
| King's | (2023-24) |
| UCL | (2024-25) |
| LSE | (2023-24) |
| Durham | (2022-23) |
| Bristol | to |
An average is not a cut-off. Plenty of offer-holders scored below it.
Practise finding the conclusion
Worked example Find the conclusion, not the topic
A council wants Sunday library opening. Supporters cite crowded Saturdays and shift workers. Sunday hours would cost money or hours elsewhere. The council should publish usage by time slot before deciding whether Sunday opening reaches people currently shut out.
Which claim best states the author's conclusion?
- Every library should open on Sundays regardless of its budget.
- Shift workers already use libraries more than every other group.
- The council should reject Sunday opening because it costs money.
- The council needs usage evidence before deciding whether Sunday opening broadens access.
Why this works: The fourth answer follows the final sentence and keeps the author's condition.
Why the tempting route fails: The others inflate the proposal, invent evidence or reverse the author's position.
Set your target
- Take the middle three of your last five timed scores.
- Compare that band with the table.
- Answer all : a blank scores the same as a wrong answer.
