4. Is SNAP tougher than CAT?

No. CAT is the gold standard of management exams. In all regards, CAT is tougher than SNAP. However, it is like comparing apples to oranges. While CAT as an exam lasts for 2 hours, SNAP is just 1 hour long. Thus, both the tests are meant for testing something completely different.

5. Is 2 months enough for SNAP?

The answer to this is not very straight forward. If you are preparing for another management exam, then 2 months of practice via mocks might be enough but otherwise, completing the syllabus and then preparation via mocks is very tough.
