ABSTRACT
The multiple choice element of the LNAT is dealt with in an entirely objective way. The participating universities that a candidate has applied to will only be given the raw mark achieved and will not have an opportunity to see the actual answers. Accuracy is, therefore, everything: there will only be one correct answer for each question, and getting the correct answer is the only way that you will get any credit. Factual preparation is unnecessary as the questions seek to test understanding and logical reasoning rather than any specific area of knowledge. The main focus of preparation should be to familiarise oneself with the style of questions used in the test in order to develop an understanding of what the markers will be looking for. Although most students will at some point have experienced multiple choice questioning in examinations, the questions in the LNAT are of a style that may not previously have been encountered. This makes it all the more important to attempt sample questions and, where possible, discuss them with either a fellow student or ideally someone more experienced in the field who will be able to explain to you any unforeseen nuances or complications.
