How to prepare for SNAP in 3 Months (Section-wise Study Plan)

SNAP is relatively easier when compared to CAT and XAT. Hence the candidates should focus on all the sections during the preparation. Although most institutes (accepting the SNAP scores) do not consider sectional cut-offs, aspirants should not skip any section completely. Having balanced preferences will allow aspirants to pick up the low-hanging fruits in all the sections. Let us see how to prepare for the SNAP 2022 Exam in 3 months.

Divide your study plan into two phases:

• The first phase of your study plan should be to cover the Basics from all three sections. In any case, spend enough time learning the fundamental concepts and make sure you thoroughly understand them. Without strong fundamentals in place, you are not going to improve your mock scores in the later stages of the preparation. Especially in the Quants section, one must be aware of the basics of the key concepts. In the LR section, be thorough with the basic types of questions such as blood relations, coding-decoding, rankings, arrangements, etc. There is no need to go deep with particular topics. Cover just the basics of all topics and Practice more questions.
• In the second phase, taking more SNAP mock tests is imperative. SNAP is more of a speed test. The duration of the exam is 60 minutes. Therefore, aspirants must tweak the way they prepare for the exam to score well. Most of the questions in SNAP do not require intricate thinking to solve. Therefore, someone who has practised a large number of standard questions is likely to perform better in the exam. Hence, take more SNAP Mocks to get used to this test-taking format. After the mock, analyse the time spent per section and each question. The candidates must focus on improving speed and accuracy based on the analysis made using mocks.
• The duration is of the exam 1 hour (for 60 questions). That is one min per question. If your basics are strong in each topic, and if you give enough mocks and analyse them properly, you can crack the SNAP exam easily. Also, it is recommended to take the mocks during exam time only. This will prepare you better for the exam day.

Now let us have a look at the section-wise study plan for SNAP 2022 in 3 months in detail.

SNAP 2022 Section-wise Study Plan

General English

Start with reading what you like, and then read articles from different genres to make yourself comfortable with various writing styles. This will improve your reading ability. That is what the candidate needs to crack this section.

Solve at least one RC every day. Reading regularly and practising RC’s every day is essential to crack this section. Read the complete paragraph thoroughly until you understand. Avoid speed reading, skimming, surfing and other such gimmicky techniques.

Also, Spend some time on Verbal Ability Concepts where you don’t have confidence. And do not spend too much time on it.

Quantitative Ability(QA), Data Interpretation (DI) & Data Sufficiency

The Quant basics will play a crucial role in this Quantitative Ability section. Most of the Candidates will neglect to view the quant basics during the preparation. They will directly move on to solving the problems without having strong knowledge of Quant basics. The Candidates may forget the infrequently used concepts. So it is essential to allocate some time for refreshing the concepts.

Try to solve two sets every day, i.e. one set is from Data Interpretation (DI) and one from Data Sufficiency.

Analytical & Logical Reasoning

Analytical & Logical Reasoning is a section that can improve your thought process. Start with learning the fundamental concepts of the types of sets that have appeared in the past 3–4 years in the exam, and learn to represent them logically. Try to approach different types of sets. Solving various types of sets will help you face fatigue in this section. 

One can utilize the online SNAP mock tests that mimic the actual examination and also the SNAP previous year’s papers, which are one of the best sources for SNAP 2033 preparation.
