SNAP 2009 Analysis & Cut-offs

SNAP 2009


SNAP 2009 which was conducted just an hour before retained its earlier format of 2005 and 2006 SNAP in terms of difficulty level. The total number of questions also increased back to 150 from 135 questions. The Analytical and Logical Reasoning section had 30 questions

of 2 marks each, just like SNAP 2008. However the other 3 sections, viz. General English,

General Awareness and Quantitative and Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency, each had 40

questions of 1 mark each.


SNAP 2009 - An Overview

Section 1 – General English

This section comprised questions on verbal ability as well as reading comprehension. Broadly

speaking, the questions were almost below par with the types and the level of difficulty of questions

that have been appearing for the last two years. This was a comparatively easy section. The questions based on grammar were mostly doable. There were many questions asked on topics like synonyms, plurals, spellings and usage. There were 1 RC, one with 3 questions.

A good attempt would have been 23 to 25 questions with a possible score of 20 + marks.


Section 2 - Quantitative Ability, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency

The Quantitative part required basic knowledge of mathematical concepts. However, there was a

slight emphasis on analysis and concepts such as Alligation, Profit and loss, permutations and combinations and probability. A few of the questions required simple calculations.

The questions ranged from easy to moderately difficult ones. In geometry 2 questions involved option-based solving. The DI questions were very easy.

A good attempt in this section would be around 20 to 23 questions with a possible score of 18 to 20 marks.


Section 3 – General Awareness

This section contained less questions on current affairs. Apart from these questions on sports,

Economics, diet and nutrition, Geography. To be very frank this section seemed more like a Business quiz based on static GK.

A good attempt in this section would be 15 to 19 questions with a possible score of 8 to

12 marks.

Section 4 – Analytical & Logical Reasoning

This section, which had 30 questions of 2 marks each, was less time consuming. There were also 2 questions on Magic Squares wherein the empty boxes in the square had to be filled.

A sound attempt would have been around 18 to 22 questions with a score of about 30 to 32

marks.
