SNAP 2024 Preparation Tips for Analytical and Logical Reasoning
- The Analytical and Logical Reasoning section of SNAP is usually of moderate difficulty level and questions are doable, but if there’s not enough practice, this section can prove to be a toughie. So, practice and practice more.
- Solve each SNAP reasoning question at least thrice. In the first attempt you will understand the questions, in the second attempt you’ll be able to solve it with accuracy and in the third attempt you’ll be able to solve it quicker than previous attempt.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Inadequate practice of SNAP reasoning questions can leave you confused with uncommon shapes or symbols in the exam and you will end up spending more time than you should on such questions. Thus, practice more and more.
- In the SNAP 2025 exam, read the question carefully, simplify the data, approach the sequence in the question systematically and draw diagram to understand the question better, if needed.
SNAP 2025 aspirants can also refer to the following books for practice questions:
- Map the SNAP Symbiosis National Aptitude Test: 5 mock tests and sample papers by Arihant
- SNAP Guide by Ramesh Publication House

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:
