General English

The General English section of SNAP 2019 had 34 questions, out of which 26 were verbal ability questions and eight were reading comprehension questions. Most of the questions were vocabulary based and did not pose any challenge. Questions based on grammar were easy. All the questions in VA could be attempted with high accuracy.  The RC passages too were easy to comprehend. The long passage was from an article from the Economist called “Panda on Hong Kong’s line about the Chinese takeover of Hong Kong”. The shorter passage was from the Dalai Lama’s book The Art of Happiness.

29-30 questions with 85 percent accuracy could be considered a good score in General English section of SNAP 2019.
