From the Inside Flap

Soaring applicant numbers in recent years have seen fierce competition for places to study law at university, with many universities receiving up to 20 applications per place. In response to this, the National Admissions Test for Law (LNAT) was launched last year as a way for leading universities to identify the best candidates for their undergraduate law courses. It was sat for the first time in November 2004 by students applying to Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Nottingham, Warwick, Birmingham, Bristol and UEA. The University of Glasgow, Manchester Metropolitan and King's College, London have already indicated their intention to join the LNAT syndicate for the 2005 test and other universities are shortly expected to follow suit.

Given the importance of a good result, and the fact that the test is very different from what many students will have experienced before, there is considerable demand for guidance as to what the test will involve and what admissions tutors will be looking for. Mastering the LNAT is a definitive guide to the subject, explaining the background to the test, how best to prepare for it and the most successful techniques for approaching the questions. Comprehensive guidance is included on both the multiple choice section and essay section of the test, as well as analysis of previous test results and details of the procedure for sitting the test and how the results are calculated and used. The book also includes five practice tests for students to work through, along with complete sets of answers and explanations and a range of sample essays and essay plans.

The information contained in the book is based on a careful analysis of past and sample papers, as well as discussions with admissions tutors and detailed consultations with students. It is designed to give a practical, hands-on insight into what universities are looking for from candidates, rather than simply being a reference work found in a library, and is presented in an accessible and easy to understand format. As such, it is essential reading for those wanting to give themselves the best possible chance of securing a place at the university of their choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, 17 Aug 2009
By 
Ms. E. Smith (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: (LNAT) Mastering the National Admissions Test for Law (Paperback)
I bought this book 3 years ago when I was applying to study law at University, it is still by far the best book I found and really helped me to understand the LNAT and what the examiner would be looking for. It made the whole process much easier and definitely let me know what to expect. I was one of the first years to take this exam and the whole process seemed very daunting at first, but this book is easy to read and gives a huge number of practice papers making it a very good buy! I have just graduated from Birmingham University Law School and I couldn't have done it without this book helping me through the LNAT. I highly recommend it to anyone considering taking the LNAT.

3.0 out of 5 stars misleading, 29 Oct 2007
This review is from: (LNAT) Mastering the National Admissions Test for Law (Paperback)
Considering how important the LNAT is to admissions processes, its sensible to aim high and attempt practice tests at a higher level than the standard. That being said, this book takes it a bit far and crosses the line between challenging and downright hard. The MCQ's are unnecessarily ambiguous but are explained still in the commentary. Although the advice on the essay section is helpful, the worked question in the sample tests are slightly pointless. A well researched, 1500 word essay, brimming with statistics as done by the author is hardly feasible in the time set in the exam. Buy this only if you want to be VERY pleasantly surprised in the exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the LNAT textbooks, 21 July 2007
By 
This review is from: (LNAT) Mastering the National Admissions Test for Law (Paperback)
Not sure that any book can really teach you how to prepare for the LNAT, but this one is by far the best of the three textbooks I have tried so far.

There are as many sample tests as you could ever want and full answers are provided for each. The MCQs are fairly difficult (although I'd definitely rather be pleasantly surprised when it comes to the actual test!) but stick well to the pattern of the other sample questions I have seen and are all logically explained.

The rest of the book is well written and easy to understand. All the questions I could think of were covered in detail and the section on writing essays has already proved useful for my History and English A-levels. Would definitely recommend to anyone preparing for the test.
