I achieved 39/42 in my LNAT, which I sat in 2017. Below are the strategies which I adopted in preparing for my LNAT:  \nOne month before the test:  \nPRACTICE AND STRATEGY  \n• The most important piece of advice for excelling in the multiple choice (Section A) is to practise. Although the LNAT is an aptitude test, the phrasing of the questions and their requirements tends to be repetitive. For example, some questions will ask about the purpose of the text, while others will ask about assumptions and inferences which may be drawn from it. Completing past papers and marking them will allow you to see which types of questions you most commonly get wrong. Place a particular focus on practising on those questions which you have most trouble with.  \n• In preparing for the essay section (Section B), I found it beneficial to make essay plans with my opinions on different political and socio-economic questions. Many of the questions which come up in the essay section are standard debate topics. In fact, I found that no experience helped me more to do well in this section than my participation in school debate. Visit [idebate.org](idebate.org) and take a look at their ‘Top 100 debates’. Read through summaries of the arguments submitted on either side and consider which side is more convincing. Keeping up to date with current affairs can enable you to add more content to your essays and substantiate your arguments with facts. However, a broad understanding of the competing principles and policy considerations surrounding a contentious topic is more valuable than possessing detailed knowledge of the topic.  \nMATERIALS  \n• Some Section A past papers are available online. For further practice in the multiplechoice, I recommend turning to LNAT practice books. I used ‘The Ultimate LNAT Guide: 400 Practice Questions’ by William Anthony, and ‘Mastering the National Admissions Test for Law’ by Mark Shepherd, but many other valuable resources can also be purchased or borrowed. The most useful books include ‘long answers’ to each solution, atthe back of the book. These explain the reasoning behind each answer. Do not simply plough through past papers. The best way to improve between past papers is to read the‘long answers’ and to understand your mistakes.  \n• To gain an understanding of the requirements of Section B, I read ‘LNAT Essay Writing Revision Guide Book: Preparation and Practice Tests for Section B of the Exam’, by the LNAT Success Associates.  \nTIMING  \n• For a lot of students, the most challenging part of the test is completing it in the set time. Once you have completed some past-papers and have understood the reasoning behind the style of question asked, you will naturally be able to complete the test more speedily. Nonetheless, it is useful to practise the test under timed conditions. An LNAT Online Practice Test can be downloaded from the Pearson website. This is an onscreen simulation of the real LNAT exactly as it will appear on-screen at the test centre, complete with a countdown timer. You can use it to familiarise yourself with the exact format of the test, and to sit it under timed conditions. If you find that you run out of time, do not be disheartened and practise some more! You will see a vast improvement in both the speed and accuracy of your answers.  \n• For Section B of the exam, it is vital that you are able to type on a computer quickly and with accuracy. If this is something that you struggle with, I would recommend completing a Free Online Typing Course ahead of the test.  \nThe day before:  \n• Try to be well-rested and relaxed. Be positive and have faith in yourself. Take this as your opportunity to show off the effort you put into preparation. Try to see the test as a game—an intellectual puzzle of sorts, and try to enjoy it.  \nDuring the test:  \n• When approaching a new text in Section A, read the questions once through first. Next, read the text thoroughly from start","cbCaihGJ6VmTsI2r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihGJ6VmTsI2r","pdf",112879,"English","# One month before the test\n## Practice and strategy\n## Materials\n## Timing\n# The day before\n# During the test\n## Section A\n## Essay section (Section B)\n# After the test","[{\"question\":\"What is the most important strategy for Section A in the LNAT?\",\"answer\":\"Practise extensively.
