Symbiosis National Aptitude Test (SNAP 2019) was successfully held on December 15, 2019 across 87 cities, with the exception of Guwahati, Digbrugarh, and Shillong. SNAP Question Paper comprised of 110 objective type questions that were asked from General English, Quantitative Data, Interpretation & Data Sufficiency, and Analytical & Logical Reasoning topics. The difficulty level of the questions was easy to moderate.
There was a signficant change in the exam pattern of SNAP 2019 as the General Awareness section was removed. Overall, the general english section was on the easy-moderate level of difficulty, due to the occurrence of a complex vocabulary section and one extensive reading comprehension passage.
The analytical and logical section mainly included arrangements, puzzles and family tree based questions and was ascribed an easy-moderate rating. On the other hand, the quantitative section included many questions related to geometry, modern mathematics, time speed distance and number system. Coaching institutes such as Career Launcher, Bull Eye and IMS have collated together a thorough analysis of SNAP 2019. Below is an extensive summary of the their findings:
