Since 2009, SNAP has followed the same pattern. The number of questions also increased from 2009 as compared to the previous years’ question papers. Moreover, the overall paper format also became quite predictable. However, it is strongly advisable to keep in mind that it would not be a smart move to approach the test assuming that the format would remain the same this year as well.
Let’s have a look at each of the sections of the SNAP and analyze on the basis of the previous years’ papers mba.
The Quantitative section more or less covers the topics like Time and Work, Ratio and Proportion, Percentages, Time and Distance, Averages, Profit, Loss and Discount. The Data Sufficiency was present in 2008, absent in 2009, present in 2010 and again absent in 2011. Thus, if the alternating trend is considered, it would be wise to practice a few DS questions just to be on the safer side. Again the presence of Geometry and Mensuration has been very prominent in 2011. Thus, it is advisable to revise the formulae for area and volume of common geometrical figures. The Data Interpretation constitutes of a formidable proportion of the section. The questions are not as calculation-intensive as the ones in some other tests like XAT or IIFT.
The LR section is considered to be one of the most important sections in the SNAP and is scoring as well. However, the real challenge is to select the right questions to attempt as they come in sets. The fact that the simplest of questions are scattered over the different sets makes this even trickier.
The Critical Reasoning questions are not very popular in the SNAP but they usually appear in the LR section. In 2011, about 30% of the LR section constituted of such questions. This is a very significant considering each question was worth 2 marks and there were only 30 questions in the section. Bottomline? Revise these questions very well.
If the previous tests are looked into, the RC is not very predominant in SNAP mba. However, it is advisable to focus on Vocabulary, phrases and idioms, spellings and grammar which are very important in this test.
The General Knowledge section in SNAP is considered to be very tough and aspirants are apprehensive about the same. However, here are a few tips that SNAP test takers can consider:
