Timed CBTThe computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.
- A clock that does not pause. 30 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
- Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
- Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
- Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.
About this test
This section is the heavyweight of the SNAP exam, accounting for nearly 42% of the total questions. In Slot 1 of the 2024 exam, the module focused less on complex arrangements and more on "sitter" questions that tested instant logic application.
Syllabus & Core Topics:
Critical Reasoning (High Weightage): Approximately 8–9 questions were passage-based, focusing on Arguments, Assumptions, Course of Action, and Cause & Effect.
Clocks & Calendars: A significant chunk of 3–4 questions appeared, including direct formula application. Notable questions included finding the "angle between hands at 5:55" (Answer: 27.5° or 152.5° depending on options) and a tricky "Cuckoo Clock" problem (calculating time intervals for chimes).
Series & Coding: 3–4 questions on Number and Letter Series, including Arithmetic Progressions (e.g., "6, 13, 20...") and coding-decoding patterns.
Logical Puzzles:
Binary Logic: 1–2 questions involving truth-tellers and liars.
Family Tree: 2–3 questions on Blood Relations.
Arrangements: Linear and Circular seating arrangements were present but relatively short and straightforward.
Exam Pattern & Marking:
Total Questions: 25.
Scoring: +1 mark for a correct answer, -0.25 marks for an incorrect answer.
Ideal Strategy: Since the level was "Easy to Moderate," a good attempt rate was considered 19–20 questions. The key trap was the "Cuckoo Clock" question where many candidates made the mistake of not counting the intervals correctly (n-1 intervals).
