Registration and Booking

Can I sit the LNAT more than once in the same year?

No. You can only sit the LNAT once per admissions cycle. If you are unhappy with your score, you cannot retake it within the same cycle. However, if you reapply the following year, you must sit the LNAT again — your previous score is not carried forward.

When should I sit the LNAT?

This depends on which universities you are applying to:

Situation	Recommended Test Date
Applying to Oxford or Cambridge	Late September — early October (must be sat by 15 October)
Applying to LSE	November — early December (LSE recommends sitting by 31 December)
Applying to other LNAT universities only	November — mid-January (must be sat by ~25 January)
