 NMAT-SNAP Logical Reasoning Strategy:
Approaching any Logical Reasoning Question:

Invest some time over a question and study the question carefully before you start solving. A brief
1. explanation of why each choice is correct or incorrect should frame into your mind. If you can
practice this tip in sample reasoning questions, you will do well in the actual assessment.
NEVER assume or use any information that the question fails to give you. This is NOT an assessment
2. of how much you know about a subject in general! Consider ONLY the information given in each
reading passage when choosing among the alternative responses.
Read both the factual passage and the sentence completion instruction carefully. Both must be
3.
considered in making your choice.
4. Be sure to read all the response choices carefully before eliminating or choosing one of them.

LR in NMAT-SNAP is easy to moderate and hence is one of the most scoring topic.

What to Do: Before you begin the real preparation, solve questions from Past NMAT-SNAP Papers
from iQuanta and solve at least 3-4 past papers to know where you stand.
