How should you prepare for an LNAT essay?

Planning is crucial in an LNAT essay. There is a strict time constraint of only 40 minutes. Firstly, it is vital that you read the question correctly. You should aim to directly answer to question. Once you have done this, you should start thinking about arguments for and against the statement posed. Take a particular view point and show why the other side is less convincing. Try to bring in any specific knowledge you have on the subject area. This knowledge can be gained through reading articles or watching the news to keep up to date with current affairs. Convincing examples will make your answer stand out. Finally, summarise your argument and opinion in the conclusion. If you have time, it would be good to finish the answer with a deeper thought or question.
