Question types you'll practise

Like the real LNAT, the questions test how well you read and reason about an argument. On the results page, each question is labelled with its type, so you can see which ones you find hardest.

An example question

An example of the kind of question you'll meet. It isn't taken from the test.

The government's decision to increase university tuition fees will inevitably lead to a decrease in higher education participation among working-class students. This is because working-class families, unlike their middle-class counterparts, cannot afford to pay higher fees or take on additional debt. Therefore, the policy effectively creates a barrier that prevents social mobility through education.

Which of the following is an assumption the argument relies on? Click an answer to check it.

  1. A) Middle-class families always have enough money to pay university fees.
  2. B) Working-class students are less academically able than middle-class students.
  3. C) Going to university is one way for working-class students to improve their social position.
  4. D) The government intends to reduce working-class participation in higher education.
