What does the marking add?

Marking bands up to four criteria and quotes your own sentences, dropping any quote it cannot find in your draft. Argument and style are LNAT’s published skills; structure and use of material are ours.

One mark it returned on our 527-word answer to “Should the state be allowed to censor political advertising?”

Argument

Solid

You present a clear claim that the state should not censor political advertising and defend it by addressing the objection that censorship is needed to counter false claims quickly.

From the sample: “The state should not be allowed to censor political advertising. The power to decide which political claims may be heard is the power to decide elections, and no government should hold it over its own rivals.

Free, two marks a minute. LNAT publishes no Section B mark scheme, so nothing here is an official mark. Open the checker and press Use sample.

Does Section B affect your LNAT score?

No. The essay does not contribute to the computer-marked score out of 42, although participating universities receive both the score and essay.
