Past LAT (1 Viewer)

[beetree1]

As a student who has only completed the 2019 LAT and am looking to do it again in 2 days, I am extremely curious as to what the previous years' LAT questions were as they do not publicise this on their website. If anyone who did it in previous years, or knows something, please drop it below to help us future law students practice please and thank you

Here, I'll start.
In 2019, for Question 1, they asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of an article on Gambling Advertisements
For Question 2, they asked you to form an argument for/against Surrogacy.

Thanks in advance to those who reply

Same! Especially after reading post, surrogacy is much more difficult than inclusion of history in high school curriculum

Do you wanna guess it just for fun? I guess it will probably be marijuana or refugees

Not too bad, I heard we aren't allowed to say what the questions were. However, since there is no criteria I'm not really sure how I did

That's good! How'd you find it in comparison with the sample paper?
Yep, that's correct!
I agree, but all the best nonetheless!

I think that only applied for that day as there were 3 sessions and the later sessions would benefit off that but I think its fine now

They say the sample paper is indicative of the level of difficulty but I thought that the sample papers stimulus for Question 1 was a lot more flawed and thus easier to judge (this also applied for 2019) ... The question 2 was of similar difficulty though

For me it was definitely harder then the sample paper

That's okay! I hope you do well!

I understand because as @beetree1 said, question 1 in the sample paper had more flaws. I felt that in regards to question 2 of this years paper, it was more objective rather than subjective. I personally feel like it's harder to argue something that's already legalised and enforced but then yet again, question 2 is ultimately about how strong we can argue.

I found it reasonably hard. I'm curious about how long was your writing? I wrote 4 pages for the first question and 3 and a half pages for question 2

Always keep in mind that it's quality > quantity.

I wrote 6 pages for question 1 and 5 pages for question 2.

They can only be used in consideration along with your ATAR, and only for UNSW Law. There are no exceptions such as early entry etc. if that was what you were asking.
