The rationale and use of critical reasoning tests is explained including the style and format of the multi-choice questions used. A practice test is provided which follows the LNAT approach, together with explanations of both the correct and incorrect answers.

The test is two hours in duration and has two sections. Part A consists of 24 multiple choice questions assessing candidates’ ability to read, understand, analyse and make logical deductions from passages of text. Part B requires candidates to write a well reasoned essay on a subject chosen from a list of titles. The results of the test will be used by the universities in conjunction with A levels and other equivalent qualifications to assess student’s suitability and it is essential that candidates perform well on the test.
