SNAP mocks are the holy grail of SNAP preparation. You can go for either full-length, sectional or topic-wise mock tests to bolster your conceptual understanding, increasing your problem-solving efficiency and weighing your strengths as well as weaknesses through detailed solution analysis provided at the end of every mock. The mock test would be like a SNAP simulator which will help you develop familiarity with test structure, timing, and different types of questions. Even if you do not engage yourself in classroom studying, earmarking one SNAP mock per day followed by 5-8 hours of SWOT analysis would help you achieve more than 95% in the actual SNAP exam.
Here are a few tips that would help you develop your study plan for the last month and execute it effectively:
You cannot rely on the “guess the answer” technique or “hit and trial” to select the answer for your questions. Ensure all the questions you answer are correct. We think the negative marking of 0.25 might not affect our overall score, but the reality is otherwise. In some cases, candidates who seem to attempt the whole paper do not receive calls from their preferred institutes. You should try being as accurate as possible to score more and land in a prestigious university like Symbiosis.
