Admissions

Specimen Questions

All applicants who sit the test in Cambridge will be asked to answer one question in one hour. Individual Colleges will select, from a centrally-set bank of questions, the particular question or questions which appear on their test papers. Three types of questions will be made available to the Colleges, although most Colleges will use only one of the three types:

• Essay questions;
• Problem questions;
• Comprehension questions.

Whichever type of question an applicant is asked to attempt, he or she will not be expected to have any prior knowledge of the law. Please note that the specimen questions provided on this website are intended to indicate, in broad terms, the kinds of question which will be asked; they should not, however, be taken as giving any specific indication of the precise topic areas which will be covered in the Cambridge Law Test.
