Important Points to remember about SNAP test centres

•  Due to unforeseen circumstances, SIU can modify the SNAP exam centres without prior notice.
• If the candidate pays the SNAP Test registration fee, no requests for a change of test date or SNAP exam test centres will be entertained.
• SNAP exam test centres and Test Dates are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Paying earlier increases the chances of obtaining a test date and SNAP exam test centres of your preference.
• The Admit Card will contain the Test Timing, the SNAP test centre, and its address. (It will be available on the SNAP website snaptest.org.)
• SIU can change or assign different SNAP test centres if the requested SNAP exam test centres are unavailable. While efforts will be made to allocate SNAP exam test centres based on candidates' preferences, in exceptional circumstances, different SNAP exam centres in a nearby area may be assigned.
• Computer-based testing is a reliable process used by millions of people annually. Similar to paper and pencil testing and other human endeavours, various issues could arise that prevent a test from being delivered or generating a result. In the unlikely event this occurs, every effort will be made to resolve the problem, including administering another test.
