Kishan Sisodia

"Exam went well. LR and VA sections were very easy. Quants section was a bit tough in comparison to VA and LR. Overall, the paper was very easy only the time management was the matter. I appeared for CAT 2023 also and SNAP 2023 was way too easy than that."

"The exam went really well but there were two-three tricky questions. Verbal section was doable. There were only two-three vocabulary questions. LR part was also easy. Critical Reasoning part was on the heavier side. In Quants section, Arithmetic was on the heavier side."

Q:   What is the syllabus and exam pattern of SNAP?

A:
The SNAP (Symbiosis National Aptitude Test) exam tests the candidates on their aptitude in General English Quantitative Aptitude Analytical and Logical Reasoning, and General AwarenessGeneral English Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, and Verbal Ability Reading Comprehension Vocabulary-based questions Grammar-based questions Sentence correction Fill in the blanks Antonyms and Synonyms Idioms and Phrases Analogies Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency Arithmetic (Numbers, Ratios, Percentages, Profit and Loss, Interest, Time and Work, Time and Distance) Algebra (Equations, Inequalities, Logarithms, Quadratic Equations) Geometry (Lines, Angles, Triangles Circles, Polygons, Mensuration) Data Interpretation (Bar Graphs, Line Graphs, Pie Charts, Tables, Caselets) Data Sufficiency Analytical & Logical Reasoning Arrangements (Linear, Circular, Matrix) Blood Relations Coding-Decoding Syllogisms Logical Deductions Direction Sense Clocks and Calendars Mathematical Reasoning Data Sufficiency Current Affairs Current Affairs from different areas including business, economics, sports, politics, and entertainment.

Q:   What is the marking scheme of SNAP exam?

A:

SNAP exam has 60 MCQs and every question carries 2 mark. Earlier, there was differential marking in SNAP exam, but in 2020 the marking scheme was revised and every question across sections was allotted 1 mark. You can read the SNAP marking scheme given below:

  • SNAP has 60 questions
  • Total marks of SNAP exam is 60
  • Each question carries 1 mark for correct attempt
  • For every wrong attempt, 1/4th marks are deducted
  • The General English section is of 15 marks
  • The Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency section is of 20 marks
  • The Analytical & Logical Reasoning section is of 25 marks
  • There is no deduction of marks for skipping the question

Candidates scoring 45-50 out of 60 can hope for getting a good percentile.

Q:   Is there a provision of marks revaluation in SNAP?

A:

No, there is no provision of rechecking or revaluation in SNAP. Candidates get three attempts in SNAP to improve their score in a single academic year. Candidates can attempt the exam three times. However, whether to appear for the exam again or not is the decision to be taken at the time of SNAP form filling only as the option to appear for multiple sessions is mentioned in the application form only. You cannot register for re-test after the SNAP registration window closes.

Best score of all the attempts will be considered for admission. The scores mentioned on the SNAP scorecard are final. If any candidate wishes to improve the score, then they will have to attempt the exam next year again.

"The exam was good. VA section was easy, LRDI was very easy and Quant was moderate. There were no RCs or parajumbles. In LRDI there were no input-out questions and the patterns were also easy. In Quants, most of the questions were from Arithmetic and there were questions on series and progression."

Yash Kumar

"My exam was quite good. English questions were basic level and Quant questions were of moderate to difficult level. If you prepared for CAT then Quant was easy but if you prepared only for SNAP, then the question may seem difficult. Two probability questions were same as in CAT. In English, there was figure of speech, parts of speech and basic grammar questions."

Samarth

"The SNAP 2023 exam was fairly easy. The Verbal part was easy. Logical reasoning was wasy. Quant was time consuming but if you chose the correct questions it would be easy. I am appearing for XAT and NMAT exams too."

Aditya

"SNAP 2023 was on par with the official SNAP mock test. Quants was the hardest. LR was the easiest surprisingly. English and LR were equally easy. There wasn’t any RC topic this year. I have appeared for CAT and am going to appear for XAT and GMAT."
