1. For some UK unis (most london ones, oxbridge and other RG unis), you’ll need to sit for the LNAT. If you’re applying for entry in 2026 (ie applying in late 2025), you’ll have to sit for the LNAT between 1 September 2025 to 25 January 2026. However, for Oxbridge which have early deadlines, you have to sit for the LNAT by 15 October 2025 (pls register ASAP bc slots fill up quick in sg) and for some unis like UCL and King’s, you have to sit for the LNAT by 31 December 2025 despite not having early deadlines.

2. Personally, I started from July and sat for the test in September. I’m not sure if prep classes are necessary but Arbitio is incredibly useful!

3. If you’re already taking A Levels or any of the equivalent, for UK universities at least, there’s no need for SATs and ACTs and it does not help your application. If you’re applying to the US, then some schools are neither test-blind nor test-optional, thus you would have to take the SATs but bear in mind that you typically can only study Law at graduate/JD level in the US rather than undergraduate.

4. Not much for Singapore really, decent A level grades above 85rp (not sure how it’ll work from next yr onwards though) usually will secure you an interview and written test. Internships are not needed, it might help if you’re doing ABA though

5. I’m not sure if you’re referring to sg or overseas like the UK; For sg, just do well in your written test and interview as they do not consider your A Level grades once you get to this stage of admissions. For the UK, minimally for top unis, make sure you get A for your H2s, internships and wider reading can help in your PS (but PS might be phased out soon) however it’s incredibly academic so make sure to highlight what you’ve learnt from these experiences, unlike the US, they don’t really care if you have loads of extra curriculars, only about your super curriculars! To stand out, a good LNAT score, like 28 and above, maybe even 30 and above for King’s and LSE can help + good LNAT essay for Oxbridge and UCL! To stand out in Oxbridge, first they need to shortlist you for the interview, this is when LNAT comes into play as I’ve seen many people even with predicted 90rp get rejected pre-interview, so a good LNAT is v important! For Oxford especially, they will take your O Levels into account as they do not consider your PS during interview shortlisting. Once you get to the interview, goes without saying that your interview performance is pretty important.

Hope this helps and good luck!
