SNAP Preparation

No, only studying the SNAP books will not be enough for preparation. You will have to practice sample questions, mock tests and previous years' questions too.

There are three sections in SNAP question paper:

• General English
• Analytical and Logical Reasoning
• Quantitative Aptitude; Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency

To avoid negative marking in SNAP, candidates must not do guess work. If they are not sure of the correct answer or find the question from out of their comfort zone, then don't attempt it.

Yes, you can prepare for SNAP in 6 months. Spend the first 3 months in syllabus coverage and the last three months in mock test practice and revision.

Yes, you can take coaching for SNAP preparation. It will help you in preparing for the exam in a disciplined manner and you will get correct guidance too.

Yes, you should prepare for SNAP separately, especially with regard to sample question and mock test practice. Even if you don't cover the syllabus separately, practice SNAP mock test specifically.

Between SNAP and NMAT, the former is considered easier in terms of difficulty level of the questions. However, SNAP is of 60 minutes in which candidates have to address 60 question. This makes SNAP more challenging than NMAT which is a test of longer duration (2 hours having 108 questions).

Usually it is recommended that Arun Sharma series (Verbal, Quant, DI), R.S. Aggarwal's Reasoning/Quant books, and Word Power Made Easy, are enough for SNAP preparation. Sample questions papers, mock tests, sectional test series are also important.

SNAP total marks is 60 so 40 to 45 marks can be considered a good score. It will convert into about 97-98 percentile. So, it the exam, candidates must aim to attempt 40 to 45 questions correctly.

Two months may not be enough to prepare for SNAP exam, if you are attempting it for the first time. However, you can try with a very specific and focussed plan. Check SNAP question papers of previous years to know dominant subjects. Study only those thoroughly and practice mock tests side by side.
