SNAP Exam Strategy

Overall
1. SNAP exam is all about speed and accuracy. Students need to attempt 60 questions
in 60 minutes. Time management is of utmost importance here.
2. There is negative marking which puts additional pressure on students
3. Order of attempting sections is not important since there is no sectional time limit.
But since few colleges may have sectional cut-offs, good attempts should be made
across all sections.
4. Students should attempt the sections as per their strength.
5. Preparation for SNAP is done mostly through CAT and NMAT exams. There may be
few additional topics which should be practiced separately through mocks.

 

Sectional Strategy

1. General English:
a. Have a good command on vocabulary as they are dominant in SNAP exam
b. Practice previous year papers to understand the standard of RCs and Verbal
section – Reasoning, Grammar, etc.

2. Analytical and Logical Reasoning:
a. Practice all types of topics through sectional mocks and time-bound
b. This section is typically very scoring compared to other sections
c. Do not make any assumptions rather focus on facts

3. Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency:
a. Build conceptual clarity and practice shortcuts
b. Focus on improving calculation speed and solving case studies related to Data
Interpretation
c. Memorizing tables and charts like squares, cubes, etc. usually prover very
helpful because of the 60-min overall time limit which is minimal compared
to other exams.
