Usually there are no sectional cutoffs. The general pattern is tabulated below:

As must be pretty clear by now, you need to be real quick if you want to crack the SNAP. There’s no point wasting time on a question if it’s taking long to solve. Move on and be quick.

Another thing you should look to brush up is your general knowledge; they have a section dedicated to it.
