For context: My LNAT is next saturday (in 7 days), and I've done both of the practice papers recently and only have the LNAT online simulator left. I did the simulator back in July as a baseline, so it's been long enough that I shouldn't remember the passages and answers.

I've done all of the Leslie Ho mocks and the Big Book of the LNAT questions, so I'm currently just using the mocks from Mastering the National Admissions Test for Law (I have 2 mocks left from the book), but I'm not sure how accurate they are compared to the actual LNAT (the book certainly isn't the worst resource imo, but I wouldn't say they're as accurate as Leslie Ho)

Should I do the online simulator this weekend and focus on reviewing the answers I got wrong, or should I continue using the mocks from Mastering the National Admissions Test for Law and do the simulator like a day or 2 before my exam to ensure I'm accustomed to the actual LNAT difficulty level before my exam?

I do Economics, Geography and Law A-levels (and an EPQ) and am applying to study Law at uni. Predicted A*A*A* (don't have a set predicted grade for EPQ yet but it'll likely be an A/A*).

Seeing as GCSE results day is around the corner (yall got this dw guyss), I'd be glad to answer any questions and clear up any misconceptions/ answer questions about 6th form because this year has truly been so different to what I was expecting (but trust me its been suchhh a great year, my fav skl year by farrr).

Really struggling to pick my uni options for Law, I want to apply to top unis with a good teaching quality, but most of the top unis are in central London which idk it doesn't appeal to me too much, particularly as id prefer accom which is close to the uni itself, (Currently I have a 1hr 20min commute to 6th form and I don't want to do smth like that again in Uni) and I mean London accom would be very expensive and cheaper accom would most likely require a decent commute to uni.

I am applying to Cambridge, but I honestly don't know what university to pick as a 2nd option. Initially I discounted Durham because it seemed "too rural" but, upon reflection, I might enjoy a quieter atmosphere. The problem is that it's a 6-hour drive from where I live, and therefore idk if it's worth it.

I was also thinking about applying to Uni of Bristol, but having visited Bristol twice this year, the city doesn't really appeal to me.

There is also the reality of London having lots of well-known law firms, so it would probably be easier for me in the future if I were to just study in London.

Idk, does anyone have any advice? Predicted A*A*A* and A in EPQ, so grades aren't a problem.

Applying to Cambridge so need a high score yet I got 21/42 on my first practice 10 days ago which I took to establish my baseline. Does anyone have any good recommendations for LNAT tutors that could help me increase my score?

Context: I'm in year 12, applying for Law at Cambridge this year (I'm definitely at least going to apply because I'm from a working-class background, and I only realised in 6th form that I could actually apply to Oxbridge; that it wasn't some elite institution solely reserved for grammar school and private school students soo i'm willing to give it a go now that I've realised I can).

I'm predicted A*A*A* in my A-levels (Law, Economics, and Geography) and an A in EPQ (I should be able to get that up to an A* as the A is just my minimum expected grade but I know ofc Oxbridge doesn't consider the EPQ in admissions). For my GCSEs, I got 9988877777 (8 in English Literature, 7's in English Language and Maths). Average GCSE grade: 7.7 I went to a state school, but a high-achieving state school (the 2025 GCSE results for my school were actually higher than the results for a private school in the same area, which I still find quite astonishing). I know quite a few people from my school who got like 10 grade 9s though, so maybe it shouldn't be too surprising)

I'm going to apply to Cambridge regardless, and I know my LNAT score will matter a lot as well (and my personal statement and interview), but I'm just curious if my quite (arguably) mediocre GCSE results will make a great difference to my application, as I have heard that most candidates who apply have all 8s and 9s. I'm thinking of applying to Selwyn College in case that makes any difference.

Does anyone know whether Lexcello is a legitimate website? I'm willing to pay for it as I'll definetly benefit from doing more online practices as I tend to find them harder than paper tests. However, the fact that it says i'll be charged in indian rupees is putting me off. Has anyone used this website who can confirm that it is legitimate? Thanks.
