SNAP 2024 Analysis

SNAP 2024 is a computer-based test and is scheduled to be conducted on three different dates, i.e., December 08, 2024 (Sunday), December 15, 2024 (Sunday), and December 21, 2024 (Saturday). All three sessions (December 8, 15, and 21, 2024) will have two shifts. The pattern in the second session of the SNAP exam was almost the same as last year. In both slots (15 Dec), students found the English section easy to moderate, the Analytical & Logical Reasoning section moderate, and the Quant section a bit challenging due to lengthy calculations. Overall, time management and selection of questions would have played a major role in clearing cut-offs.  The overall feel of both the slots was moderate. However, as per students, test 2 was slightly tougher than test 1. So cut-offs will decrease slightly in test 2 in comparison to test 1.

There were 60 questions (3 Sections) in both the slots, and the time allotted was 1 hr. The three sections were as follows:

The pattern of this section in both the slots was almost similar to what it was in Test 1. The English section was primarily dominated by vocabulary & and grammar-based questions. There were 8-9 questions based on grammar. The grammar questions were based on parts of speech-based questions in the form of fill-in-the-blanks, identifying the parts of speech, voice & speech, the figure of speech, etc. There were 5-6 questions based on vocabulary. The vocabulary questions were based on antonyms, idioms, prefixes, and compound-word proverbs. There were no sentence rearrangement questions in the slot.

The difficulty level of this section was moderate. The section included questions on coding/decoding, blood relations, word arrangement and missing letters, binary logic, etc. This section was dominated by verbal & critical reasoning (paragraph-based) as there were around 8-9 questions based on these areas, such as assumption, arguments, cause & effect, etc. The questions based on verbal reasoning were easy except for one or two questions.   There were 3-4 questions on syllogism & connectives.  There were 2-3 questions based on letter series & on seating arrangement each. There were 2-3 questions on clocks and calendars, and they were easy. Only the right selection of questions would have played a key role in maximizing the attempts.

This section had questions from arithmetic, algebra, geometry, higher math, etc.  . There were three questions for algebra and number system, each of which was moderate . There were 3-4 questions on probability and permutation &c ombination.   Two questions were based on trigonometry. The section was dominated by arithmetic and had 8-10 questions based on it. Students found this section a bit challenging due to lengthy calculations.  The questions based on higher math were tricky as reported by the students. There were two questions based on DI.A few questions had one of the options as ‘ none of these’, which made this section a little challenging as one has to check twice in case if the answer is none of these.  However, using options wisely would definitely have played key role in maximizing the score in this section.

SNAP is a computer-based test and was conducted on three different dates this year i.e. December 08, 2024 (Sunday), December 15, 2024 (Sunday) and December 21, 2024 (Saturday). The last sessions of SNAP 2024 (December 21, 2024) was conducted in two shifts. The pattern in all the slots was almost same as that of last year’s. In both slots (21 Dec), students found the English section as easy to slightly moderate, the Analytical & Logical Reasoning section, and the Quant section as moderate to tough. Overall, time management and selection of questions would have played a major role in clearing cut-offs. The overall feel of both the slots was moderate. However, as per students, test 3 was slightly easier than Test 1 & Test 2. So cut-offs will be slightly higher in test 3 in comparison to test 2.

There were 60 questions (3 Sections) in both the slots and the time allotted was 1 hr. The three sections were as follows:

The pattern of this section in both the slots was almost similar to what it was in Test 1 & Test 2. The English section was primarily dominated by Vocabulary and Grammar-based questions. There were 9-10 questions based on Grammar. The Grammar questions were based on parts of Speech-based questions in the form of Fill In The Blanks, identifying the parts of Speech/Tenses, Modals, Voice & Speech, Figure of Speech, usage of Idioms, etc. One interesting question was based on Reasoning & Vocabulary Combined. There were 2-3 questions based on Vocabulary. The Vocabulary questions were based on Synonyms, Odd One Out based on Prefixes, foreign words, compound-word, etc. Two questions were based on Sentence Completion.

The difficulty level of this section was moderate. The section included questions on Coding/Decoding, Blood Relations, Word Arrangement and Missing Letters and Binary Logic etc. This section was dominated by Verbal & Critical Reasoning as there were around 7-8 questions based on these areas, such as Assumption, Arguments, Inference /Conclusion, Course of Action etc. The questions based on Verbal Reasoning were easy to moderate.  There were 4 questions on Clocks and Calendar and were easy There were 2-3 questions based on Letter Series & Coding each.The questions on Binary were bit lengthy. Only the right selection of questions would have played a key role in maximizing the attempts.

This section had the questions from Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Higher Math etc. The section was dominated by Arithmetic questions which were around 8 . There were 2 questions each of Algebra and Number System which were moderate . There were questions on Probability and Permutation & Combination. The DI had only one question. However, using options wisely would have played a key role in maximizing the score in this section.
