3. Practicing different types of questions over a long period of time will help you discover tricks and shortcuts that you can apply in the exam to solve the puzzles faster.
4. Always look for the explanation to understand why a particular option is correct and the rest are incorrect. This is what reasoning is all about. If you find the reason, you can solve any LR question.
5. Not all SNAP reasoning questions are same, so you cannot apply the same shortcut or reasoning trick to the different questions. Learn to identify the type of question to be able to know which method to use on a particular question. This will happen only if you practice the questions over a long period of time.
