SNAP 2019 analysis

SNAP 2019 was conducted today at various exam centres in 90 cities across India. Overall, the SNAP question paper was similar to last year, the only difference being no General Awareness section. This year, there were only three sections General English, Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency (Q-DI,DS) and Analytical & Logical Reasoning (A-LR). The English section had 34 questions, Q-DI,DS had 40  (including 5 Special Questions) and A-LR had 36 questions.

SNAP 2019 Analysis: General English
This section was dominated by vocabulary questions. Like last year, there were only two RCs but this time one of them had 3 questions while the other had 5 questions, which made it 8 questions from RCs. Except for 1 RC, the entire General English was a cakewalk and one should have got done with it really quickly. The vocabulary questions weren’t as difficult as it was last year. Compared to the vocabulary words that figured in the paper last year (for example: “tergiversate”), this year’s vocabulary was definitely easier.

The Fill In The Blanks questions could have been answered easily. The grammar-based questions were easy as well. However, the two questions on voice change were extremely easy.  Overall, it was an easy section to attempt. An attempt of 25-26 in 20-25 minutes with 90 percent plus accuracy is desirable.

SNAP 2019 Analysis: Quantitative Ability
The quantitative ability section of SNAP 2019 turned out to be much more time consuming than previous years exams. Time, Speed and Distance, Geometry and Modern Math dominated this section. Some of the questions were long to read and thus time-consuming.

While the questions weren’t very difficult it was important for students to spend a good amount of time on this section. An attempt of 18-20 in 45 minutes with 90 percent accuracy would be ideal.

SNAP 2019 Analysis: Logical and Analytical Reasoning

Logical Reasoning section of SNAP 2019 was quite similar to previous years with some of the questions being quite boring and lengthy. A couple of caselets was quite easyy. The proportion of verbal reasoning questions was quite low and analytical reasoning questions dominated. A good score in Logical Reasoning would be around 32-33.

Since, test city allotted once cannot be changed, you will have to appear for the SNAP exam in whichever city you have been allotted a test centre. However, it usually does not happen that candidate's do not get the city of their choice in SNAP.
