SNAP 2020 Exam Review
The SNAP 2020 Notification had sprung the biggest surprise: reduced time. From 2 hours, the test duration had been reduced to 1 hour, with no sectional timing. Another surprise revealed in the Notification was about SNAP being conducted on three different days - with students being allowed to appear for any 2 of the three exam dates (though one had to pay twice!); with the better score being counted towards selection.
The first SNAP was conducted on December 20, 2020, the second SNAP was conducted on January 6th, 2021 and the third SNAP was conducted on 9th January 2021. The test was held smoothly. The paper had the same interface as that of CAT. SNAP of Day 3 was similar to that of Day 1 and Day 2 SNAP in terms of the paper pattern.
| Section | Total Questions | Total Marks | Level of Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| General English | 15 | 15 | Easy-Moderate |
| Analytical & Logical Reasoning | 25 | 25 | Easy |
| Quantitative, DI and Data Sufficiency | 20 | 20 | Easy |
| Total | 60 | 60 | Easy |
