Why SNAP?!?

Being a student of English literature, never did I think that I'll have to take a test along the lines of CAT because MBA was only a passing thought, that too when I was in the 9th grade! I clearly remember that day when I heard about SNAP, I obviously thought that it must be like one of those "mass communication" entrance exams. As always, www.simc.edu, was conducive to disenchanting me as I went through the pattern of that horrid exam!

My reaction to the structure of that test:

General English: "Good good, not a problem Shruti! You'll be able to pull this one off well!"

Quantitative: Gosh! I somehow knew how much I was gonna detest this one!!

Data Interpretation: "uh oh, only if this section was called "DATA MISINTERPRETATION" I would do a great job!"

Data sufficiency: "oh! great! For me quantity matters! I always do my 'window shopping' in bulk, so making sure that my data is 'sufficient' shouldn't be a problem at all!!"

General Awareness: This one made me laugh! If you've got to punish me, go ahead and ask me to 'pay attention' or even better ask me to 'concentrate'. The phrase I hated the most when I was in school was "Shruti, you ought to be consistent!" So in a nutshell, I was never aware of any general things happening around me.

General Knowledge: Well G.K, for me came down to an exam that we were bound to take, back in school. We were given 50 multiple choice questions and my passion for the 'INKY PINKY PONKY' choice game (emphasis on choice) came into vital use while solving those questions. I clearly remember, we required a minimum of 15 out of 50 to pass that exam and I was often found pleading with the prinicipal for a mark or two!

Business Scenario: "Yes I am proud to declare that a particular business activity is good if the enterprise makes a lot of money, otherwise they must seriously consider dissolution!" Thats all I could recollect from the 'business studies' classes that I was forcibly made to attend in school. Period.

Logical reasoning: I like to reason. I always did. As a child when I was forced to go to school, I would always give numerous reasons in support of staying home instead. So basically I really have the potential to reason well but the problem was that this section was kind of specific because 'reasoning', I am good at, logical or not, I refrain from commenting!
