SNAP is an objective exam with total marks 180 and differentially marked questions. The pattern of the test has a few modifications this year. There are 150 questions in the paper as opposed to 165 in 2006. Consequently, there is a change in the distribution of problems across sections. Verbal, DI and GK would each have 40 questions and reasoning would have 30 questions.

The number of sections continue to be four. In three sections each question carries 1 mark and in one section each question carries 2 marks. There is 25 percent negative marking for each wrong answer.
