SNAP 2024: Mistakes to Avoid on Exam Day

1.Not spending time on reading SNAP questions

Some students make the mistake of jumping to the questions directly as soon as the exam begins. Don't do that. Read the instructions properly as separate time is allotted for it. Read the questions carefully. This will help in deciding which questions to attempt and how much time to allot to each section. Also, when going through the SNAP 2024 question paper, gauge which questions you think are difficult to attempt and skip them. Remember there is negative marking for wrong question, not for leaving it unattempted.

2.Not managing time effectively

Every candidate will get 60 minutes to attempt the SNAP 2024 question paper– this time needs to be divided among the three sections strategically. Focus on solving around 10-15 questions from Quantitative Ability in the initial 15 minutes. Next, try and solve around 20 questions in 25 minutes from the A-LR section and attempt 12 questions in 20 minutes from Language section. Since there will be no differential marking this year, you can make the choice of questions better.

3.Not choosing the right questions

SNAP is a speed-based test and it is very important to use 60 minutes judiciously. Moreover, SNAP has negative marking so mis-judging questions can cost you dearly. Thus, read each question properly and then decide whether you can solve it with 100 per cent accuracy or not in the given time limit. If yes, then attempt the question, but if you have even the slightest of doubt then move to another question. Save your time and marks.

No matter how well-prepared you are, last-minute revision always helps. However, you cannot revise every topic, so the best thing to do is to revise only the basic concepts and formulae of the topics from which maximum questions are asked. Having fresh memory of concepts and theorems will help you in performing better in SNAP 2024 exam.

5. Taking stress and panicking

Staying cool and calm is the success mantra of cracking not only SNAP but any exam. Be confident about what you have already prepared and forget the stress of under-perfomance. Having a peaceful mind will certainly help you in excelling the exam.
