Does UCL set an LNAT benchmark?
Yes. Each year, UCL says it looks at average MCT scores from previous years and sets a benchmark threshold for the current admissions cycle. Applications meeting it will then be considered by admissions tutors; no score guarantees an offer.
What do UCL's 23, 29 and 26 mean?
They are 2024/25 averages: 23 for test results received by UCL, 29 for candidates who received an offer, and 26 for contextual-offer candidates. They are historical averages, not targets.
Margin is independent LNAT practice. It cannot predict UCL's benchmark or admissions decision.
Who needs the LNAT for UCL Law?
UCL's current Law LLB page says the LNAT is required for all applicants. Candidates must take it by the cycle's advertised deadline and link their LNAT registration details to UCL.
When are UCL's 2027 deadlines?
For 2027 entry, the LNAT timetable lists 31 December 2026 as UCL's test deadline. UCL lists 13 January 2027 at 6pm UK time for the Law LLB application. UCL says applications may stay open after that UCAS equal-consideration deadline, so check UCAS before relying on a later date.
King's Law has the same 31 December deadline, and its LLB page states no target.
