Method
- The LNAT Consortium sends candidates their results twice a year: mid-February for tests taken on or before 26 January, and mid-August for later tests. It does not publish exact days.
- Universities receive results from 21 October for tests taken from 1 September to 20 October, and within 24 hours of later tests.
- We compare your test date with each chosen university's published sit-by date.
Uncertainty and limits
- Only the 2027-entry dates on the Consortium's page are used; the page still carries some older-year notes.
- University access and tutor access can differ: Oxford's 2025-26 report says tutors had access from 24 October.
