The Law Admission Test (LAT) is a professionally designed and scored selection test developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) in conjunction with UNSW Law & Justice. It assesses the types of aptitudes and skills that are critical to success in tertiary Law programs. These aptitudes and skills include the ability to think critically, to analyse information, and to organise and express ideas in a clear and fluent way.
LAT is a 2 hour, computer-based test that is held once a year. LAT is currently used for selection into undergraduate Law programs at UNSW Sydney. Completion of the LAT enables UNSW Sydney to gain a more rounded view of a candidate’s capability to study Law. It also gives applicants an opportunity to further demonstrate their suitability for the Law program at UNSW Sydney.
