What Does the LNAT Test Look Like?
The LNAT is 2 hours 15 minutes long, split into two sections:
Section A — Multiple Choice (95 minutes) You read 12 argumentative passages and answer 3–4 multiple-choice questions on each — 42 questions total, scored out of 42. The questions test reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and argument analysis. There is no negative marking.
Section B — Essay (40 minutes) You choose one prompt from three and write a structured argumentative essay. This section is not scored by the LNAT — it is sent to your chosen universities who assess it themselves.
