Questions people ask
Is the LNAT harder than the practice tests?
There is no published comparison. A few candidates report scoring much higher on the day than on the official practice test, but those posts are selected and unverified.
How much does an LNAT score vary between attempts?
The 2014-16 technical reports put the standard error of one sitting at about 2.8 to 3.0 marks, so two honest attempts a few marks apart are normal.
What should I do with my practice scores?
Your median is the best guide to your real score. Use your misses to find which question types cost marks; timed, unseen papers tell you most.

How we work this out
What it does
Enter your practice scores to get the real LNAT score they point to.
Up to eight of your own LNAT practice scores (0 to 42), plus the public evidence on practice versus real scores: four self-reported pairs from two Reddit threads and the measurement error of the real test from the 2014-15 and 2015-16 technical reports.
Method
- Your likely real score is your practice median, rounded to a whole mark. No public data shows real LNAT scores running higher or lower than practice, so the median is the best single estimate. Your median is the middle of your scores (the average of the middle two if there is an even number); your range is lowest to highest.
- The measurement error comes from the LNAT technical reports: across ten test forms the standard error of one sitting was 2.77 to 2.98 marks.
- The self-reported cases are shown as they were posted. Two are official-simulator scores (24 both times) with real results (35 both times); two are guesses before results (20 to 25, then 35; 32 to 35, then 30). Guesses and practice tests are kept apart.
