LNAT score by university

What it covers

Your LNAT multiple-choice score (Section A, 0 to 42) against the LNAT averages universities have published in admissions reports or released under Freedom of Information: Oxford 2021-22 to 2025-26, Cambridge by college for the 2025 application year, UCL M100 2022-23 to 2024-25, King's 2021-22 by programme, LSE 2020-21 and 2021-22, and Durham 2021-22 and 2022-23.

Method

1. For each university we take its latest dated offer-holder average and subtract it from your score. 27 against Oxford's 2025-26 offer-holder average of 30.48 is 3.5 marks below.
2. The headline counts how many of those latest averages your score is at or above. Cambridge is not in the count unless you pick a college, because it published 29 college averages without candidate numbers, so no Cambridge-wide figure exists.
3. Older rounds, other groups (all applicants, shortlisted, contextual offers) and published lowest and highest scores are shown as extra rows, never merged with the headline.
4. Bristol, Glasgow and SOAS publish no comparable average, so they are listed as having none rather than borrowing another university's figure.

Uncertainty and limits

• The averages come from different years (2021-22 to 2025-26) and describe different groups. A King's 2021-22 average and an Oxford 2025-26 average are not the same measurement.
• Most FOI releases give no number of candidates, so we cannot say how spread out offer holders were, except where a range was printed (Oxford 2022-23 offers: 19 to 38).
• UCL's FAQ gives 30 overall and 27 for contextual offers "in the last academic cycle" without naming the year; we keep that wording.
• A practice score has not been through the LNAT's equating, so comparing one with these averages is only a rough guide.

What the answer means

The answer tells you where your score sits against people who received offers in past years. It is not a cut-off, a pass mark or a chance of an offer. Universities weigh GCSEs, predicted grades, the essay and context too, and several say they have no minimum LNAT score.
