SNAP 2019 Paper Analysis

SNAP 2019 Year Analysis & Previous Year Analysis

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: 

SNAP 2019 Paper Analysis: 

General English

• General English was termed as an overall ‘easy section’ and thus should be a scoring section for a majority of candidates. A large portion of the section was dominated by questions on vocabulary that included synonym and antonyms which could have been a tricky section for some candidates. An overall good score for this section is situated around 35. 
• There were 26 Verbal Ability questions and 8 Reading Comprehension (RC) questions. Most of the passages were elementary and easy to understand. One of the passages was about the Chinese takeover of Hong Kong while the other was based on Dalai Lama’s book ‘The Art of Happiness’. 
• A good strategy would have been to attempt around 29-30 questions with 85% accuracy in 25-30 minutes. 

Analytical and Logical Reasoning 

• Logical Reasoning questions mirrored the ones posed in SNAP 2019 and thus were lengthy and boring in nature. There weren’t many questions on verbal reasoning so subsequently most of the questions involved analytical reasoning. A good score in logical reasoning is estimated to be centered around 32-33 marks.  
• The section was dominated by standalone questions since only 9 questions were set based, while 27 were standalone. The set questions comprised a set of 6 questions on Linear Arrangement with a single row, while a set of 3 questions were based on scheduling which were of easy level. 
• A couple of the questions tested mathematical concepts i.e. 4 questions on Clocks & Calendar and 4 other questions on other concepts of Mathematics. 

Quantitative Data, Interpretation & Data Sufficiency

• There were no questions present on data sufficiency, while there were 12 questions present on Data Interpretation. 2 sets were based on Venn diagram and contained  4 and 2 questions respectively. There were 3 questions each on a set based on 2 pie charts. 
• Out of the 28 questions in Quantitative Aptitude, 5 questions were special questions. 
• The questions based on permutation and combination were considered challenging. Other subjects such as mensuration, polynomials etc. tested the candidates’ fundamental knowledge. 
• A good attempt in this section included answering 27 to 32 questions. 

The overall analysis of SNAP 2018 is given below:
