Benji Posted 7 October 2005 Posted 7 October 2005 got my LNAT (National Admission Test for Law) in 2 hours time theres no real way to revise, just have a look through the one sample paper they give. And as 4 of the 6 universities i've applied for, use this test as part of the selection process, doing bad could only leave me with 2 The only plus side is it is all computer based so i can type the essay up about 5 times faster than i can write. Anyone have to take it last year?
Rincewind Posted 7 October 2005 Posted 7 October 2005 Not putting you off but I would think a law degree is one of the hardest to obtain. Although the doctors one is no doddle. Did a little bit of the law in order to get a license for security. Just powers of arrest, differences between trespass, burglary robbery etc and types of evidence. Quite interesting I thought. If I went for any further qualifications for my job I'd like to try Law. Too old for a degree or career in it though. Good luck benji.
Steven Posted 7 October 2005 Posted 7 October 2005 Thanks Ken Is it an intelligence test or are you expected to have legal knowledge.
Benji Posted 7 October 2005 Author Posted 7 October 2005 you can have no real legal knowledge and pass there are two sections, section A is analysis of text you get a passage from some hitorical argument or something, they they ask you 2-4 multiple choice questions. Sort of questions are like, what is the main argument or which of the following can not be inferred from the text etc There are about 8 of these so 30 questions in all. Then you get a choice of 5 essays, that are about anything in the world, and you get 40 minutes to do it. There is a 700 word maximum though so it's all about getting an argument, taking a side, and being able to back it. Nice way to spend a friday afternoon ay?
Katy Posted 7 October 2005 Posted 7 October 2005 Good Luck with it Benji, just take a deep breath and read what you need to do a couple of times to digest it. You will be fine

If it is any consolation, once you have done the Uni study questions such as these will be a breeze. One of the main things Uni gave to me was to not feel overwhelmed or even just confronted by seemingly large or complex problems. You will be fine, just relax and remember what the purpose of the test is and to concentrate on that. Noone is trying to trip you up they just want to see your thought processes. When you come to do the essay remember to map it out and chose a topic that interests you. Good luck.
Benji Posted 7 October 2005 Author Posted 7 October 2005 Thanks Katy, Hitesh and Steven! i just keep eating to take my mind off it
Guest Posted 7 October 2005 Posted 7 October 2005 Thanks Katy, Hitesh and Steven! i just keep eating to take my mind off it You'll be fine, honest. Just don't eat too much, or you'll end up falling asleep!!
Anish Posted 7 October 2005 Posted 7 October 2005 Unlucky Benji, I didn't have to do anything like that when I applied for law at my unis. Although I did have a (multiple choice) selection test at University of Nottingham which was rock solid. Which unis are you applying to?
cisono Posted 8 October 2005 Posted 8 October 2005 Too old for a degree or career in it though. You are never too old for that! (unless you have had enough of uni, which is also quite understandable!!!)
Alexikokopops Posted 8 October 2005 Posted 8 October 2005 Hope it went well!! Yeah, I was a bit late to wish good luck.

I got an offer too, although they were always going to be my second choice! They must be receiving more applications these days
Steven Posted 8 October 2005 Posted 8 October 2005 I applied to Durham and didn't have to do any test! I got an offer too, although they were always going to be my second choice! They must be receiving more applications these days They now know the quality of Student they can attract.

I would expect the number of applications they receive has increased steadily over the last few years...
