SNAP 2025: Mistakes to Avoid on Exam Day

1.Not spending time on reading SNAP questions

Some students make the mistake of jumping to the questions directly as soon as the exam begins. Don't do that. Read instructions properly as separate time is allotted for it. Read the questions carefully. This will help in deciding which questions to attempt and how much time to allot to each section. Also, when going through the SNAP 2025 question paper, gauge which questions can be solved accurately, in least time. Remember there is negative marking for wrong question, not for leaving it unattempted.

2.Not managing time effectively

Every candidate will get 60 minutes to attempt the SNAP 2025 question paper– this time needs to be divided among the three sections strategically. Focus on solving around 10-15 questions from Quantitative Ability in the initial 15 minutes. Next, try and solve around 20 questions in 25 minutes from the A-LR section and attempt 12 questions in 20 minutes from Language section. There is no chronology to be followed, so keep English questions for the last. They are usually easy.

SNAP has negative marking so mis-judging questions can cost you dearly. Thus, read each question properly and then decide whether you can solve it with 100 per cent accuracy or not in the given time limit. If yes, then attempt the question, but if you have even the slightest of doubt then move to another question. Save your time and marks.
