How to Calculate SNAP Score

Sections	Marks per question	Total number of questions	Total marks
General English (VARC)	1	15	15
A-LR	1	25	25
QA, DI-DS	1	20	20

So, if you get 10 questions right and two wrong out of 15 questions in VARC section, your sectional score will be (10x1) - (0.25+0.25)=9.5

The total marks will be calculated by totaling individual scores of all the three sections. Thus, once the unofficial SNAP 2024 answer key is released; candidates can calculate their marks and predict their total score.
