This year, it was expected that the SNAP question paper will be difficult as the General Awareness section has been scrapped. Shiksha visited a SNAP 2019 test centre to know the opinion of the test takers. Here’s what they shared.

Vaishali from Indira Gandhi Technical University, Delhi said, " I've given SNAP exam. The level of difficulty was nominal and with comparison to CAT it was an easy paper and at the same time, the Quant section was quite a hefty one but LR section was easy to go with and Verbal section- if you have a good grammar then it is a very good subject to start with. The General Knowledge section was eradicated, and I am very happy that it was because it's very difficult. If you have attempted IIFT exam, then there also the GK section was very difficult."

Mayank from New Delhi said, "SNAP paper was pretty good, I think overall the difficulty level was medium. DI was between moderate to difficult and Maths was average and in English, RC was bit lengthy and it was hard to find the answers, and on the other end, the difficulty level was between easy to medium. LR section's difficulty was between easy to medium."

Avneet from Time Management Institute said, "Compared to CAT it was easier. Quant took more time as compared to other sections and LR was comparatively easy as I was expecting. 30 attempts were easily accessible in LR section while Quant somewhere took more time than I was expecting from previous years' question paper." When asked about removing the General Knowledge section, he said, "For me it was good thing because obviously most people who are preparing for MBA they are not aware of General Knowledge questions. It is good for most of us this year as compared to SNAP last year. No General Knowledge question (gave) more time for everything else."

Sneha Gupta said " According to me, SNAP examination was fine. Though the Maths section and the LR section was taking a little bit more time, I could not cover the whole section, but it was comparatively easy if I compare it to the CAT exam. It was good."

Anshika from Sagar Institute said," The exam was good. LR and DI sections were so simple. English was okay. I have not attempted much questions in maths. Overall exam was good. It was good that the exam did not have General Knowledge section as I am not good in GK."

Aditi said, "I came here to give my SNAP exam. It was not difficult. I didn't like the Maths portion, I left a few questions. The English section was okay, the questions were fine. It was not as difficult as it was the last year. Last year the exam pattern was different. This year, the question paper was fine. 

Vipul Kapoor from Noida said, " Today I gave SNAP and I found it to be at par with the expectations of the average candidate. English section was vocabulary based which was unexpected. Overall difficulty level of the paper was average or a notch above average. The Quant section, as expected, it contained five explanation questions along with 35 normal questions, 34 questions were there in English, 36 questions were there in LR, and 36 questions in Quant. So, English and LR sections were below average and Quant section was average. The overall paper was quite easy. If a person has done enough practice for CAT as well as XAT or papers of higher difficulty level, then they can easily score in this paper."

The question papers of all SNAP sessions are not same. In every attempt and slot, candidates get a different set of questions. Sectional break up and marking scheme are the same for all though.

About 20-30 full-length and sectional mocks will be enough for you to crack SNAP exam with high scores. However, make sure you analyse every mock performance and learn from it.

Yes, six months are enough to prepare for SNAP exam. Divide six months into two parts; first three months for syllabus coverage and last three months for mock test practice and revision.

Coaching certainly helps in exam preparation better. It provides direction, guidance and discipline. So, if you can't do self study, you should opt for coaching.
