- Idioms
- Jumbled sentences and paragraphs
- Passive and Active voice
- Sentence Correction and Completion.
For Antonyms and Synonyms, follow Word Power Made Easy or search a list of 1000 commonly used words for GMAT. For grammar practice concepts from Wren and Martin.
In the Analytical and Logical Reasoning section, you can expect questions on:
- Tables & graphs(Column and Bar graphs)
- Syllogisms

How I practiced for SNAP?
- I solved every question of SNAP entrance, which came in the past ten years. I gave several mocks and analyzed those mocks thoroughly.
- Some of the questions were very different, which I couldn’t put in any section, so I learned the logic behind them. Often, questions with the same reasoning repeat from previous years with a change in the values. So, it becomes necessary to solve the previous years.
- I believe that almost all the MBA entrances are about accuracy. So, one should play on accuracy. I did the same, and 95% of the questions that I attempted were correct.
- For me, General English was not a problem as I was following the English newspaper daily. Also, I made sure that I am revising ten new words every day from the cue cards for antonyms and synonyms.
- For quantitative ability, I created a notebook of formulas that I encountered during the mocks and previous years, which helped me attempt the questions in the SNAP entrance.
I hope that the above-mentioned preparation tips and information regarding the SNAP entrance help you maximize your score and get into Symbiosis city.
Best of luck with your future endeavors.
