Why is the LNAT like a Marathon?

Law National Admissions Test – LNAT

The LNAT is like a Marathon
12 passages, 42 questions, a 600 word essay – all in 135 minutes

You need to stay focused for 2+ hours
The LNAT really tests your mental endurance

And with just one attempt allowed
The LNAT can be a high pressure event
Where every minute can make a difference

An athlete doesn’t start training a week before the race
They build up their strength and stamina over weeks and months
With regular and diligent practice

Similarly, the LNAT demands thorough preparation over time
Honing your critical thinking and comprehension skills
And more crucially, building your ability to concentrate

In a marathon, the runner knows that pacing is crucial
When to speed up, when to slow down

The same way that time management is key to the LNAT
Maintaining a steady pace as you move through the passages
Knowing when to delve deeper and when to move on

Start your prep at least a month in advance
Practicing as many full length papers as you can
Remember, the LNAT is all about balancing between speed, accuracy and endurance
