SNAP

Tough is just a relative term. There is nothing called tougher to crack or easy to crack. This view depends upon the preparation of the exam you are giving. There are a number of exams conducted in India for the MBA type courses. Exams like CAT, XAT, GMAT, MAT, IBSAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc. have some minor tweaking and variations apart from the main sections. Each of these exams has a quantitative aptitude, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and data interpretation, apart from GK or essay writing section in some of the exams. So, you have to prepare accordingly for these exams either by taking coaching classes or correspondence course or by self-preparation or by following recommended books. After you have prepared for the most difficult level questions, you may try to get some question banks for the specific exam you are targeting either offline mode I.e. books on exams or online mode i.e. free question banks websites or paid question banks for practice.

Below are the few tips to avoid mistakes in SNAP:
- Don't get stuck:
If you feel the problem is taking time, then leave and move to next. There is no point in wasting time in something which you don't know or which is taking time. It's better to attempt 2 simpler questions than to crack a difficult one.
- Enter with open mind:
Our suggestion is not to get biased or limit you in attempting the number of questions. You may or may not attempt all the questions in all the sections, given the time constraint or for fear of getting penalty for wrong answer.
- Be punctual:
It is very much necessary to be on time at the test venue to avoid any sort of panic.
Be cool and keep confidence while appearing.
