Official LNAT materials
Everything the test-maker and the universities publish for free — the simulator, both practice papers, the essay bank, and each university's own guidance.
Check the question format before you practise
The live LNAT gives you four answer options per multiple-choice question. Some official practice materials were published before the change and still use five — they carry a badge below so you are never caught out. Every Exambo LNAT question already uses the four-option format.
