LNAT test-day checklist and common mistakes
Confirm booking requirements and rehearse decisions for pacing, essay choice and recovery.
Confirm official details
- Check your test-centre booking, identification and arrival instructions.
- Confirm university deadlines; they may not all be identical.
- Review current permitted-item and rescheduling rules on the LNAT site.
Avoid common mistakes
Do not answer from personal agreement instead of passage evidence, spend too long on one question, choose an essay solely because the topic sounds familiar or draft without a thesis.
Use a reset
- Release the previous item.
- Restate the current question.
- Locate evidence or write the next paragraph claim.
- Continue using your rehearsed move-on rule.
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.
