Hello future SNAP achievers!
SNAP is one of the exams that gives the flexibility to play on your strengths and that is what I did to score a 99.8 percentile on my first attempt this year. For me it just wasn’t just luck; it was a blend of strategy, discipline, and smart work. The four practical tips that helped me ace the exam, and I’m confident they’ll ease your journey acing SNAP 2024 preparation are:
- SNAP 2024 Preparation: Understand the Exam-
Before going to battle you need to sharpen your axe, in this case, understand the exam pattern and syllabus clearly before diving into the ocean of resources and tests. This will help you prioritize topics and study effectively since many topics are not part of the CAT and other major exams.
- SNAP 2024 Preparation: Focus on Speed and Accuracy-
Unlike other exams, SNAP is a sprint and not a marathon where you can do course correction mid-way. Whenever you are practicing make sure it’s in a timed format in loops of 1 hour and that you can solve the basic questions within 30-40 seconds. On top of this focus on your stronger section first to get the maximum questions correct from the section you are confident in
- SNAP 2024 Preparation: Leave your ego at home-
It would be best to remember that SNAP only has an overall cutoff and your sectional score won’t matter. As part of master time management during the exam do decide the time you’ll allocate to each section and try sticking to it but in case you feel a section is tougher than usual then leave it and focus on the other easier questions, because every minute in this exams counts and the tough questions in this case would be tough for all the test takers

- SNAP 2024 Preparation: Leverage the multiple attempts-
If you have the time, please make good use of multiple attempts since you’ll be able to leverage the knowledge from previous attempts and make good use of the strategies that worked/not worked in your previous attempt. Multiple attempts don’t affect your selection in any way and only the best score is taken forward so you need not worry about that too
That’s all and remember it’s not just about studying hard; it’s about studying smart. Use these tips as your stepping stones and you’ll be well on your way to joining your dream college. In case you wish to reach out to me here’s my LinkedIn profile
