Dear Student,

I understand that this is a common apprehension among aspirants while attempting any exam, be it SNAP, CAT, XAT, and so on. As a student of SIBM Pune (first year) myself, I went through the same preparation phase last year. While I will tell you which topics might come in the exam, it can never be an exhaustive list. You must keep an open mind and cover as much as possible.

Important topics-

General English (Reading Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Verbal Ability)

1. Practice RCs as much as you can

2. Browse word meanings every day, maintain a notebook with words and their meanings

3. Synonyms and antonyms

4. Grammar - basic rules should suffice

5. Finding errors in sentences - apply grammar rules here

Quantitative, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency

1. Basic arithmetic topics like time speed distance, time and work, mixtures and allegations, etc.

2. P&C and probability - a lot of people ignore this but try to cover enough to answer at least easy questions

3. Ratios and proportions - the basis of most topics

4. Percentages, profit and loss

Analytical and Logical Reasoning

1. Pattern recognition questions

2. Seating arrangement - linear and circular

3. Selection

4. Syllogisms

5. Coding and decoding

Aside from this, a few tips from my experience-

1. Do not ignore vocab. Gather as many word meanings as possible and try to identify the etymology behind them. This will help you in remembering them and also identifying other similar words

2. Focus on reading speed. Try to judge which RCs or paragraphs have direct data-based questions. Solve them first.

3. DO NOT get stuck on one question. Speed is paramount in this exam.

4. Use your strengths - When making a strategy while doing mocks, try to judge what your strength is. Use it to your advantage and score maximum in that area.

5. Do not leave a topic altogether. Study enough to solve easy questions

6. Needless to say, pick questions wisely

The last mile is the most important phase of the preparation process. Give it your best and I am sure you will crack it.

All the best!
