SNAP Preparation in 4 Months Phase-I: Complete the Syllabus
SNAP syllabus 2024 consists of all the important topics from General English, Analytical & Logical Reasoning (A-LR) and Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency (QA-DI & DS). Start with the subject you are weak at and study its topics one by one. You should study for at least six hours in a day, which should include understanding a topic, theorems and formulae related to it and up to three sample questions.
SNAP Preparation - To-Dos:
- Put more effort and spend more time on the topics you find tough. However, do not ignore one topic for the other.
- You may think you can crack the General English section without preparing for it much. Don’t make that mistake. The questions in this section can be tricky. So pay equal attention to English.
- Move to the next topic only when you have completed one topic. Understand the concepts and formulae well, then practice their application at least three times and then move on to the next topic.
- Do not study continuously for long hours. Take breaks in between and let your mind refresh itself.

SNAP Preparation in 3 Months Phase III: Revision
Keep aside a fortnight for revision of all the concepts, theorem and formulae topic-wise and section-wise. Revision is important as you need to refresh your memory with all that you've studied so far. Every topic, every theorem, every application, every logic should remain fresh in your memory till the exam day.
SNAP Preparation - To-Dos:
- Revise all those topics that are your weak areas. Revise their concepts, theorems, formulae and also the tricks and shortcuts you may have discovered during preparation.
- While revising for the SNAP 2024, take breaks in between so that you are able to understand and consume the information.
- Do not try to revise all the topics and all the sections together a day before the exam. On the penultimate day, relax. Your mind needs to be calm and composed on the exam day.
All the best!
