What is the passing mark in SNAP?

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.

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.

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.

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

There is no sectional time limit in SNAP exam. Candidates can utilize 60 minutes in whichever way they like. However, candidates have previously claimed that 60 minutes fall short in attempting the questions, thus it is important to ensure that you have a time management strategy for the exam, which means you should decide how much time you wish to spend on which section and not overspend. For example, Reasoning section has 25 questions and you may want to target about 15-18 questions, so analyse how much time would you need to spend on it.
