The unofficial answer keys are released on the same day as exam session contain SNAP questions and their solved answers. These-memory based question paper and answer key help candidates in assessing their performance by seeing which of their attempts were correct and which were incorrect.

SNAP question paper has 60 questions in all the sessions, English has 15 questions, QA, DI-DS has 20 questions and A-LR has 25 question. Candidates are not supposed to attempt all the questions. But they must attempt about 2/3rd of the total questions with maximum accuracy to be able to get a good score.
