Considering further studies in Law in UK universities from Dubai? If you are applying to a university that will require the LNAT then preparation should be integrated into your University application plan and not left until the last weeks.
The LNAT (National Admissions Test for Law) is not a test of law rules or a test of memorising a law syllabus. It rather evaluates skills that include reading comprehension, logical reasoning, analyzing arguments and building a coherent written argument.
The LNAT Test: What is it?
The LNAT is a two-part, 2½-hour test.
There are 42 multiple-choice questions in Section A, which is based on argumentative passages, and 95 minutes will be provided.
In section B you will have 40 minutes to answer one of three essay questions. The essay should help to show the student how to build an argument and arrive at a conclusion.
The LNAT score is derived from Section A and the essay will be sent to the other universities that participate in the process.
How to prepare for the LNAT?
Preparation is more about practising the things that the test tests, rather than memorizing information.
You can use a structured LNAT preparation plan that includes:
- Reading complex passages and practicing them.
- Recognizing assumptions and conclusions
- Analyzing arguments and evidence
- Increasing speed and accuracy
- Timed multiple choice sets
- Practising essay planning and writing
- Reading errors after every practise session
Students should use the official LNAT website for a tutorial, a sample test and further practice to become familiar with the LNAT.
When Should Dubai Students Take the LNAT?
Registration for LNAT for entry to the university in 2027 opened on 1 August 2026 and tests were started on 1 September 2026.
The LNAT is required for those applying to either Oxford or Cambridge and must be completed by 15th October 2026. The deadline for applicants to universities such as King's College London, LSE and UCL is 31 December 2026. Other universities that participate have later deadlines so students should always consult the requirements of each of the target universities.
LNAT Preparation for IB and A-Level Students
In Dubai students can be taking LNAT as a preparation for IBDP, A Levels or other senior-school level courses. It's easier to prepare early and balance school assessments, university applications and timed LNAT practice.
Offering academic and university admissions counselling in Dubai, including assistance for students pursuing university admissions in the UK, IB Scholars is a leading provider. It has offices in Dubai at Sheikh Zayed Road, JLT and Dubai Silicon Oasis.
Students should also be aware that the LNAT Consortium strongly suggests that candidates use their preparation materials and offer warnings to candidates about claims made by commercial coaching entities.
