How Tough is the SNAP Test? 

As per experts, the SNAP test is quite easy when compared to exams like CAT and XAT. However, some of the points where SNAP differentiates from CAT are:

1. As of 2016, SNAP still remains an OFFLINE exam i.e. OMR sheets are used to report answers. This definitely lessens the effective time duration of the exam.

2. Also, unlike CAT and MAT, SNAP test also comprises of a GK section, that too, bearing a greater weight compared to aptitude. This emphasis on GK adds a huge amount of syllabus compared to CAT.

However, the difficulty level of aptitude, reasoning and English questions in SNAP still lacks greatly from CAT and XAT. Hence, it’s still safe to call CAT the big dog in the yard.
