Best study method for SNAP Test

SNAP, conducted by Symbiosis International University for admission to its 14 management institutions (offering 19 programs), is one of the most popular management entrance tests. It is taken by over 50,000 students every year due to the availability of a wide number of institutions. The best coaches are experienced and train students through the best SNAP coaching classes in Mumbai. The level of the difficulty of the questions asked in SNAP usually ranges from easy to moderate. But time given for solving the paper makes it challenging for students.

The paper can be split into three parts: concept driven, practice intensive and environment sensitive. When planning how to prepare for SNAP test focus on the following sections. Quantitative Ability & General English are conceptual, Data Interpretation & Logical Reasoning are practice intensive and General Awareness is environment sensitive.

• Basic concepts rather than formula

SNAP preparation in Mumbai institutes - atleast the best ones stress on understanding other than mugging up. The last year statistics shows that a comparable number of questions are based on the core concepts of the topics. Hence, it is advised to have your basic concepts cleared & properly understood along with its applications.

• Algebra & Arithmetic topics

SNAP is an exam that tests one's ability to crack questions on Algebra & Arithmetic topics like Percentages, Profit & Loss, TSD, Logarithms. Thorough practice is required to do well in this section.

• Practice

Many Quantitative ability, Data Interpretation & Analytical & Logical Reasoning questions requires calculations. Although on screen calculator facility has been introduced in CAT from this year, it is preferable to practice calculations through approximations and Maths techniques for other exams including SNAP.

• Analytical & Logical Reasoning

SNAP tests the most with this sections with questions from a variety of topics like Coding-Decoding, Venn diagram, Cubes, Facts inference Judgment, Letter series, blood relations, double line distribution, verbal analogy, cubes, series, puzzles. This is an important section as the weight age given to the question is twice than that of questions on other sections.

• General Awareness, General Knowledge

General Knowledge & Awareness has always been one of the most challenging topics which has no boundary to study. Since SNAP analyses students with its out-of-the-box GK questions, it is better to be prepared with the topics like static GK, current affairs with focus on business, politics, economics, sports, awards and recent events.

• Vocabulary & Grammar

This section basically tests your vocabulary more than analyzing skill because of the inclusion of more vocab based questions like synonyms, antonyms, odd man out, idioms & phrase as compared to RCs. This gives advantages to those with a good hold on vocabulary as it increases their attempt with good accuracy in a relatively less time.

• Solve SNAP papers

Although the chances of questions getting repeated is negligible, the goal here is to gain momentum towards success. Each entrance exam, has a unique pattern. Solving previous years SNAP papers might help to familiarize with the pattern.

• Manage Time

The key to success for all the MBA entrance exams especially SNAP is wise selection of questions & time management, especially in Quantitative, DI & Analytical and Logical Reasoning sections. The questions involving complex calculations seem hard to attempt but a strategy based approach to solve questions helps a lot.
