SNAP Preparation

To effectively prepare for SNAP exam about 6 months are required. Candidates can start early too, but not later than when six months are left for the SNAP exam date. 6 months will give candidates to cover all the topics of SNAP syllabus and practice mock tests.

SNAP is an easy exam so it is not necessary to spend long hours studying for it. However, one should ensure they spend quality time on SNAP preparation. If one is preparing for CAT along with SNAP, then they don't need to spend more than 2 hours on SNAP separately. If one is preparing for only SNAP, then they must spend 4-5 hours daily on an average.

The Quantitative Aptitude question of SNAP are easy to moderate in nature. Most of the questions are direct and not calculation intensive. The questions are usually asked from Arithmetic Geometry, Mensuration P&C/Probability Algebra and Numbers.

SNAP English section has 15 questions and all are based on grammar and vocabulary, so it is very critical to have a good control on English Grammar. To strengthen English grammar, one should start with basics. Study from Wren & Martin for best results. You can also seek help from a mentor or study from English grammar apps.

For an effective SNAP preparation, candidates must make a plan which includes the following:

·       Timeline of syllabus coverage, practice and revision session

·       Time bound syllabus coverage (at least a month before the exam day)

·       Daily practice sessions of SNAP mock tests or sample papers

·       Daily revision of important chapters, concepts and formula

·       Regular problem solving sessions with peers and mentors

Yes, SNAP can be considered easier than all other MBA entrance exams but one needs to still prepare for it with complete dedication. The SNAP may be considered easier as it is a 60-minute exam and the number of questions is also 60. The English section does not have RC passages and QA-DI are easy. Moreover, one can attempt it thrice in the same academic session and use the best score of all attempts to seek admission.

Important topics for General English (Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Verbal Ability):

The difficulty level of the Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP) question paper is usually easy and can be completed in the prescribed time. There is no sectional time limit, nor a compulsion to solve all the questions. The SNAP exam has three sections - General English (GE), Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency (QA, DI-DS) and Analytical & Logical Reasoning (A-LR). This MCQ-based test with a time limit of 60 minutes is one of the most student-friendly test structures.
