If one has to rank the exams based on their level of difficulty, XAT is the toughest and SNAP is the easiest amongst the three exams. Hope this helps!

XAT is the toughest of the lot given it tests you on various fronts. There's the regular DI-LR and Quant but additional section of descision making. It's more of accuracy based test than speed test.

CAT comes second and then SNAP. SNAP requires you to manage time better and a bit of GK too.

Hi Akshay

Most difficult would be XAT followed by CAT and then SNAP. All have almost same syllabus the difficulty lies in one the sections. For CAT it's DI LR and for SNAP it's GK.

All the best

Well XAT is the toughest , then CAT . SNAP is the easiest among them all but still you have to solve a lot more questions in minimum amount of time . So always don't rate your exam by the toughness , Time is an important factor too.
