Initial feedback from candidates suggests the overall difficulty level was consistent with Test 1, ranging from Easy to Moderate. The key for high scorers remains efficient time management and a strong balance across all three sections.

 Test 2: Section-Wise Performance Review

A detailed breakdown of the SNAP 2025 Test 2 reveals specific trends in question types and difficulty, offering invaluable data for those preparing for the final Test 3 on December 20, 2025.

General English (GE)

• Difficulty: Generally rated as Easy and the most scoring section.
• Key Topics:
  • The section largely consisted of grammar and vocabulary-based questions.
  • Questions included fill-in-the-blanks, sentence correction, synonyms, antonyms, and idioms.
  • Crucially, the section maintained the trend of excluding lengthy Reading Comprehension (RC) passages, making it quick to attempt.
• Good Attempts: An aspirant with a strong verbal foundation should aim for 12–14 correct attempts out of the 15 questions.

Analytical & Logical Reasoning (A-LR)

• Difficulty: Rated as Easy to Moderate, though slightly lengthier than the English section.
• Key Topics:
  • This section, with 25 questions, covered a wide array of topics.
  • Common questions included Coding-Decoding, Blood Relations, Series, Syllogisms, and Critical Reasoning (Statement-Assumption, Cause-Effect).
  • While individual questions were often straightforward, the variety and need for careful reading made it slightly time-consuming.
• Good Attempts: A target of 18–20 correct attempts is considered excellent for a high percentile.

Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency (QA, DI & DS)

• Difficulty: Generally deemed Moderate, with some questions being calculation-intensive.
• Key Topics:
  • The dominant area was Arithmetic, covering topics like Time, Speed, and Distance (TSD), Simple and Compound Interest, Profit & Loss, and Percentages.
  • Algebra, Geometry, and Modern Maths (P&C, Probability) also featured.
  • The Data Interpretation (DI) sets were typically manageable, focused on basic chart analysis.
• Good Attempts: Aiming for 15–17 correct attempts out of 20 would position a candidate well within the competitive range.

 Expected Cut-offs and Target Score

Based on the overall Easy to Moderate difficulty level of the first two SNAP tests, the expected cut-offs for top Symbiosis Institutes are likely to remain high, similar to last year's trends. It is important to remember that Symbiosis Institutes use the highest score from the attempts taken for the final percentile calculation.

 Post-Exam Strategy for SNAP Aspirants

Candidates who appeared for Test 2 should now shift their focus, regardless of whether they have a third attempt scheduled or are moving onto the next stage of the admissions process.

• For Test 3 Aspirants (December 20th): Utilize the detailed analyses of Test 1 and Test 2 to fine-tune your final strategy. Focus your revision on high-frequency, scoring topics like Grammar, Vocabulary, Syllogisms, and Arithmetic formulas. Practice mock tests in a simulated environment, strictly adhering to the one-minute-per-question pace.
• Preparation for GE-PI-WAT Rounds: SNAP is only the first step. The overall admission process includes Group Exercise (GE), Personal Interview (PI), and for some institutes, a Written Ability Test (WAT).
  • Weightage Breakdown: The final merit list gives a substantial weightage to the SNAP Score (typically 50%), with the remaining weight distributed among GE and PI/WAT.
  • Start Early: Begin honing your communication skills, current affairs knowledge, and developing a strong "Statement of Purpose" for your chosen specialisation.

 Conclusion: Your Path Forward

The SNAP 2025 Test 2 has reaffirmed the exam's nature as a test of speed, accuracy, and smart sectional strategy. The paper was manageable, setting a challenging bar for the expected cut-offs for the top institutes. Aspirants should take confidence from their strengths and use this analysis to eliminate weaknesses, especially for those with the final attempt remaining. Now is the time to consolidate your preparation, not just for the exam, but for the personality assessment rounds that follow. If you have already appeared for both tests or are preparing for the final one, immediately pivot your focus to mastering the Group Exercise (GE) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds, as they hold half the weight in your final selection score.
