LNAT practice test strategy for Section A reading
Use evidence-led multiple-choice habits that survive unfamiliar passages.
Map before you hunt options
Identify the author’s main claim, any shift, and the question’s exact ask. Predicting an answer reduces distractor pull.
Eliminate with a reason
Reject options that are too strong, answer a neighbouring question, or rely on outside knowledge. Keep a one-line note of the distractor pattern.
Retest the skill
After review, sit a fresh passage set without notes. Speed should come from cleaner reading, not from memorised explanations.
Try the questions before reviewing the answers
Read or write under time before consulting guidance. Identify where your reasoning went wrong, review the method and try a new passage or prompt.
