Phase 2: Relaxed Timing

You can now produce a well-structured, well-evidenced essay without time pressure. The next step is to introduce time awareness — gently at first — so that you begin to develop the pacing instincts you will need for the real LNAT.

Phase 2 gives you 60 minutes per essay — 50% more than the actual Section B allocation. This extra time is a buffer that lets you focus on maintaining quality while becoming increasingly aware of the clock.

Why 60 Minutes?

The jump from "no time limit" to "40 minutes" is too large. Candidates who make this jump often find that their essay quality collapses under pressure — they produce poorly planned, poorly structured, rushed work that bears no resemblance to their untimed efforts.

60 minutes is the sweet spot:

Time Allocation	Effect
No limit	Quality is high, but no time discipline is developed
60 minutes	Quality can be maintained while time awareness builds
40 minutes	Full pressure — quality may suffer initially but recovers with practice
