Universities

Each guide has three chapters (overview, LNAT, and grades and shortlisting), and the Oxford and Cambridge guides have a fourth chapter on the interview.

The LNAT, decoded

We suggest that you start with the three articles at the top. Each of the others answers a single question.

Where would your score have landed?

Choose a Section A score to see an estimate. The estimate comes from a rough model based on each university’s offer rate and the applicant and offer-holder averages it has published or disclosed.

These figures are for illustration only. Universities publish average scores but no offer rates for each score band, and in practice grades, the essay and the interview all affect the real figure. The national average marked on the scale is the last one published, for 2015/16.

How this site works

Every page is based on primary sources (FOI releases, university admissions PDFs, transparency XLSX returns, UCAS end-of-cycle data and the policy text on course pages). Where a figure has not been published, the page shows a [Data gap] marker in place of an estimate.

The same chapters for all nine

Every university guide has the same three chapters: overview, which sets out the main admissions figures; LNAT, which explains how the university uses the test; and grades, which covers its A-level and GCSE policy. The Oxford and Cambridge guides have a fourth chapter, interview, on what happens after shortlisting.

Primary sources only

We use FOI releases, OfS Transparency XLSX returns, UCAS end-of-cycle data, admissions PDFs and CSVs published by the universities, and the policy text on course pages. Figures from third-party aggregators appear only where the page says so.

Data gaps are flagged

If a university does not publish a figure, the page shows [Data gap] and notes what is missing, so that no number is invented to fill the gap.
