A current official numerical threshold or essay weighting was not verified. This draft does not repeat forum claims that King’s ignores the essay.
For every wrong answer, identify the words that make the distractor too strong, too broad or irrelevant. Then practise a complete sitting so that writing follows sustained reading. Make a separate plan for joint-degree language requirements.
Can I take LNAT in January?
The deadline for equal consideration is 31 December 2026, for Home and Overseas applicants. Official source (accessed 2026-09-24)
Is Politics, Philosophy & Law the same UCAS choice as Law?
No. It is LM21. King’s says candidates seeking consideration for both courses must make separate UCAS choices. Official source (accessed 2026-09-24)
Do I need legal knowledge to prepare?
LNAT tests aptitude, not prior legal knowledge. Editorial advice: focus on interpreting arguments and writing clearly. Official source (accessed 2026-09-24)
