What Makes a Topic “Overlooked but Scoring”?
Before diving into the list, let’s understand what qualifies a topic as overlooked but scoring:
- Overlooked: Candidates tend to ignore it, either because they find it less glamorous or assume it’s difficult.
- Scoring: These topics usually have straightforward concepts, shorter questions, or are less time-consuming but fetch good marks reliably.
- Strategic: They help clear sectional cutoffs and provide safe attempts with a high accuracy rate.
So, investing time in these topics during your SNAP prep can be a game changer.
Most Overlooked but Scoring Topics in SNAP Quantitative Aptitude
SNAP’s Quant section, officially called Quantitative Aptitude, Data Interpretation & Data Sufficiency, has about 20 questions testing foundation math skills, problem-solving, and interpretation abilities.
1. Coordinate Geometry
Often avoided due to visualization issues, coordinate geometry questions are usually formula-based and predictable. Topics like distance, midpoint, equation of lines, and simple graphs are scoring if practiced regularly.
2. Logarithms and Surds
These topics are skipped by many fearing complexity. However, they involve direct formula application and can be solved quickly once basics are clear. Logarithm rules and simplifications are particularly scoring with minimal calculation time.
3. Mixtures and Alligations
This classic topic is often overshadowed by more popular ones. It requires understanding ratio and proportion which many students underestimate. Questions are typically straightforward and quick, making this a high-yield topic.
4. Inequalities
Inequalities appear in various forms, including linear and quadratic. Once you master solving basic inequalities, they become one of the easier scoring questions. Many students avoid them due to perceived complexity but they reward clarity and practice.
5. Series and Sequences
This includes arithmetic and geometric progressions, which are often overlooked due to the fear of many formulas. However, the pattern-based approach here means you can solve these questions rapidly with good accuracy.
6. Data Sufficiency Sets
While Data Sufficiency can be intimidating, the sets tend to be shorter and less calculation-heavy. These typically test concept clarity, giving an advantage to smart strategists. Practice can turn this into a reliable scoring part of quant.
Most Overlooked but Scoring Topics in SNAP Logical Reasoning
The Logical Reasoning (LR) section of SNAP includes analytical puzzles, series, coding-decoding, directions, and blood relations. Here are overlooked but fruitful topics:
1. Direction Sense and Blood Relations
Though considered simple, many aspirants neglect them while focusing on tough puzzles. These topics are highly scoring with minimal solving time, perfect for quick gains.
2. Syllogisms and Critical Reasoning
Syllogisms in SNAP are formulaic and rule-based, allowing speedy solving once rules are mastered. Similarly, critical reasoning questions are concise and less calculation-intensive but rewarding if approached with logic.
3. Coding-Decoding
This is often dismissed as challenging, but with pattern recognition practice, coding-decoding is a dependable scoring topic. Problems follow fixed rules rather than trial-and-error, making scoring possible with less time.
4. Analogy and Series
Analogy questions build on verbal LR skills, and series puzzles test pattern recognition. Both categories have questions that are quick to solve if you grasp the logic early, yet are often ignored in deep prep sessions.
5. Seating Arrangement and Puzzles with Limited Variables
Seating arrangement questions simplify with structured practice and elimination methods. They carry good marks but many candidates fail to allocate preparation time here, losing out on scoring chances.
How to Strategically Incorporate These Topics in SNAP Preparation?
To make the most of these overlooked topics, consider these tips:
- Structured Practice: Dedicate weekly slots explicitly for these topics, using quality previous year papers and mock sets.
- Concept Mastery: Instead of rushing through many topics superficially, master the foundational concepts of these scoring areas.
- Time Management: Prioritize quick-win topics in mocks first to build speed and confidence.
- Accuracy over Attempts: Focus on solving these questions correctly rather than increasing volume.
- Use Shortcut Tricks: Some topics like logarithms, series, and inequalities have known tricks that cut down solving time drastically.
