How to prepare for SNAP?

The difficulty level of SNAP is slightly above the difficulty level of CET.Therefore a student preparing for CET does not have to worry much just make sure that his/her basics are clear and yes for verbal the preparation would have to be RC driven.

What makes slightly difficult is the GK section.I'll be soon uploading a GK module to enable you to work on the GK section.Till then read the TIME magazine provided to you and newspaper on regular basis.

For CAT students;try and solve all the material provided in the basic set issued by us at the time of your enrollment.
Only for TIME CAT students : the following books from your first set can be used for preparation:
Quant : SM101101/SM101109
DI:SM101105
Reasoning : SM521006/SM101108
VA : SM101104
RC:SM101103
Also solve a few excercises from the GK book provided to you.
I hope this helps.If you have further queries regarding preparation or the exam you can mail me on swapnila@time4education.com
