Q:   Can I prepare for SNAP by studying from CAT books?
A:

You can prepare basic concepts of Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning and Verbal Ability topics included in the SNAP syllabus by studying from CAT books. The syllabus of both exams is same for these topics so you can refer to CAT books for studying the concepts, fomulae and theorems. CAT is also a tougher exam, so if you practice CAT questions for conceptual clarity, you will be automatically preparing for SNAP as well.  

However, for SNAP specific preparation, you must refer to books published exclusively for SNAP preparation as the type of questions in SNAP are different from CAT. Some of them are:

  • Map the SNAP Symbiosis National Aptitude Test: 5 mock tests and sample papers by Arihant
  • SNAP Guide by Ramesh Publication House
  • Map the SNAP Test by Arihant
Q:   Which SNAP books should I read for General English section?
A:

For preparation of General English section of SNAP exam, candidates must study the following books:

  • Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis
  • High School English Grammar & Composition by Wren & Martin
  • Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension for the CAT by Nishit K Sinha
  • How to Prepare for Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension for CAT by Arun Sharma & Meenakshi Upadhyay

Best Study Material for SNAP 2025: Previous Years' SNAP Question Papers

Besides, SNAP preparation books, the best study material are previous years question papers.

  • The candidate will get to know the SNAP question paper pattern and marking scheme of the exam and weightage allotted to each section.
  • The candidate will get to solve a variety of SNAP questions; which in turn will prepare them for tough, hard, easy, lengthy and tricky questions.
  • Solving SNAP previous year papers will help the candidate in developing the skill of smart selection of questions in the actual exam.
  • By practicing more and more questions, the candidate will develop speed and accuracy in solving the questions and develop tricks and short cuts to save time in the actual examination.

How to Prepare for SNAP 2025: Important Tips

Those preparing for SNAP 2025 without coaching and relying on the SNAP books, must read these five most important tips and apply them in their exam preparation for best results:

  • Make a plan at two levels – monthly and weekly. In the monthly plan, divide the total number of months you have for SNAP preparation into – Syllabus completion with the help of SNAP books, mock test practice and revision. In the weekly plan, allot a certain number of hour for studying.
  • Start with the subject that is your weak point. Seek help from friends and mentors in online study groups to improve on the subject. Then move on to the subject you have a good grip on.
  • Attempt as many sample papers as you can to gain speed and accuracy. But do it only after you have completed the SNAP syllabus thoroughly and have grasped each concept well. If you start solving SNAP sample papers before completing the syllabus, the result will not be favourable which will cause unnecessary stress.
  • After you solve one SNAP sample paper, assess your performance and analyse your progress. With each new sample paper aim to increase your accuracy and speed.
  • It may happen that in the beginning you won’t perform well in SNAP mock tests. Don’t be disheartened. With practice, the scores will improve.
