What is a good LNAT score for top universities like Oxford, UCL, and LSE?

There is no single LNAT score that guarantees admission to top universities such as Oxford, UCL, or LSE. As a practical target, aiming for around 28–30+ out of 42 can make your LNAT multiple-choice performance more competitive, although expectations vary each year.

For context, UCL reports that the average LNAT score among offer holders in the 2024/25 academic year was 29.4, while contextual offer holders averaged 26.3. LSE does not publish a fixed minimum LNAT score and considers the multiple-choice result alongside the rest of the application. Oxford also assesses LNAT performance as part of a broader competitive admissions process.

At Option Training Institute, LNAT preparation focuses on helping students maximise their multiple-choice score while strengthening the critical reasoning and essay-writing skills required for competitive UK law applications.
