It is possible but not advisable, as you may not score as desired. It is important to cover the SNAP syllabus too. You can solve questions in mock test correctly only if you understand the topics well.

SNAP has negative marking of 0.25. To avoid negative marking, candidates must not do guess work and do not attempt any question that they feel they can't solve correctly.
