Based on your overall SNAP test percentile, you will be called for further rounds consisting of Group Exercise and Personal Interaction (GE-PI).
Post the successful completion of these rounds; you will be offered admission to the institute that you have registered with.
The General English section will only have 15 questions. The Analytical & Logical Reasoning section will have 25 questions, worth one mark. Develop these few practices in a part of your daily routine to make a command over English languages:
This part will test candidates’ capability in English grammar and language.
Please remember, grammar is the foundation of a language. Your fluency in grammar will make other parts of the Verbal Ability section like reading comprehension, prose much easier.
The importance of the 2nd section - Analytical & Logical Reasoning lies in the fact that it tests your critical thinking abilities. Critical reasoning is a test of your mind to think rationally, to analyse and comprehend the given statement and reach a conclusion based on your understanding. It is vital that you learn how to tackle such questions if you want to do well in the SNAP test.
Hopefully, the following tips will assist you in enhancing your critical reasoning abilities:
