Hi everyone!

I recently completed the LAT (2023) in Year 11 and received a 98/100 in the 99th percentile. I have 3 years of private tutoring experience and will be offering sessions on how to prepare for the LAT, with tips and tricks. However I will have limited availability so if you are interested, please DM me as soon as possible for further details.

The LAT is a test composed of essay writing and judges your capacity in English, however proficiency in the subject will not guarantee a good result. From my personal experience, skills of critical thinking and creativity are incredibly important in receiving those top scores, which can be practised and polished.

I wish everyone the best of luck in there preparations and I hope I can help some of you out.

I didn't do any prep specifically for the LAT - I'd already received an offer for Macquarie law so I wasn't fussed about getting a low result, and therefore took more risks with my writing. I think the main thing is to be yourself in your writing - don't try to wow the markers with James Joyce's vocabulary, instead wow them with your unique thinking.

For Section 1, the only thing I can think of that helped me get an advantage was reading the news as part of my daily routine (normally as a procrastination method) - the question was analysing some guy's argument against banning vapes, which I'd luckily done a bit of research for as part of my role on the student leadership council. I'd also done debate for a while, and all my subjects encourage critical thinking, so I'd technically been practicing my argumentative skills non-stop for the past two years.

For Section 2, we had to write a recommendation on whether an eco-lodge should be built or not. I took a massive risk and went down a creative writing kind of path - I fully embraced the role of environmental advisor, and formatted my response like an actual report instead of an essay (e.g. lists in some sections, using first person/direct address, etc). As a result I really enjoyed writing this one - I got really passionate in my writing about the impacts of the lodge, and fully immersed myself in the role.

Everyone's going to be writing at a really high level, so being smart or using big words won't set you apart very much. In my opinion it just comes down to enjoying what you're writing and being yourself. Don't let the stress get to you
So would you recommend for section 2 writing in a more creative, unique format (like how you wrote it as a report) to show your adaptability and ability as a free thinker? Rather than sticking with the essay format
