SNAP question papers for 2025 and earlier years are available below with solution links. The 2025 papers are arranged as Test 1, Test 2 and Test 3. The older archive covers papers from 2024 to 2006.
SNAP 2026 has four sections. Older papers cover English, Reasoning and Quantitative Ability, but they do not have the new Ethics, Morality and Values section. Use the previous papers for timed practice and add 10 current-pattern Ethics questions to complete a 60-question test.
The 2025 set contains three memory-based test papers with linked solutions. The year-wise archive contains practice copies for earlier exams. These papers show the type and pace of questions asked in past years, but they should not be treated as the complete SNAP 2026 pattern because the fourth section is new.
Choose Test 1, Test 2 or Test 3 from the table. Each paper has a separate solution link, which makes it easier to check the same test after a timed attempt.

SNAP 2026 is a 60-minute computer-based test with 60 multiple-choice questions. Each correct answer gets 1 mark, while every wrong answer reduces the score by 0.25 marks. Questions may be attempted in any order.
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| General English | 10 | 10 |
| Analytical and Logical Reasoning | 20 | 20 |
| Quantitative, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency | 20 | 20 |
| Ethics, Morality and Values | 10 | 10 |
| Total | 60 | 60 |
The official SNAP pattern has the current section split. The detailed exam pattern and section-wise syllabus explain the topics covered in each part.
The total number of questions and the test time have not changed. The main difference is the new Ethics section. General English and Reasoning have fewer questions than they had in 2025.
| Section | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| General English | 15 | 10 |
| Analytical and Logical Reasoning | 25 | 20 |
| Quantitative, Data Interpretation and Data Sufficiency | 20 | 20 |
| Ethics, Morality and Values | Not included | 10 |
| Total | 60 | 60 |
Start with one paper in a quiet setting and keep a 60-minute timer. Do not open the solution during the test. Mark any question that takes too long, even if the final answer is correct. Speed matters because the paper gives about one minute per question on average.
An error log shows whether marks are being lost because of a weak topic, a rushed calculation, a wrong reading of the question or a poor choice of questions. Keep one row for each important mistake.
| Question | Section and topic | What happened | Fix and retest date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example: 18 | Reasoning - arrangement | Correct method, but took too long | Practise a short arrangement set; retest after 3 days |
| Add your question number | Write the exact topic | Wrong, slow or skipped; add the reason | Write the rule or method to revise and the next date |
Review the log after every two or three papers. A repeated mistake needs a topic drill. A one-off calculation slip needs a shorter check during the next timed attempt.
A topic drill is a short set of similar questions taken from the mistakes in the error log. For example, if three papers show errors in arrangements or data interpretation, solve 10 to 15 questions from that topic with a timer. Record the number correct and the time taken.
Retest the missed questions after two or three days. Take another full paper after the weak topics improve. This keeps the second attempt useful instead of turning it into a memory test of the answer key.
The current official mock follows the four-section structure. Use it after practising older papers so that the new Ethics section and the computer-based screen are also covered.
Give 1 mark for each correct answer and subtract 0.25 marks for each wrong answer. Unanswered questions do not change the score.
| Result | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Correct | 45 | 45 |
| Wrong | 8 | -2 |
| Unanswered | 7 | 0 |
| Practice score | 60 | 43 |
A practice score is a raw score, not a percentile. SNAP uses the best score when a candidate takes more than one of the allowed tests.
No. They cover English, Reasoning and Quantitative Ability, but not the new Ethics, Morality and Values section. Add 10 current-pattern Ethics questions to each full practice cycle.
Use a 60-minute timer. The current test has 60 questions, so a timed paper is more useful than solving the same questions without a time limit.
Use 10 English questions, 20 Reasoning questions and all 20 Quantitative questions from the old paper. Add 10 Ethics questions from current-pattern practice.
Add 1 mark for every correct answer and subtract 0.25 marks for every wrong answer. There is no mark for an unanswered question.
Yes, after reviewing the mistakes. Retest the missed questions after two or three days and repeat a full timed paper later only if it still tests speed and method rather than memory.
No. A practice score only shows the marks obtained in that paper. The exam percentile depends on the official result process and the performance of candidates.
