The SNAP exam is typically a 60-minute test conducted in the afternoon (often 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM). Candidates are usually required to report at the center at least 90 minutes before the test starts (by 12:30 PM) to complete biometric registration and frisking. The gates close strictly 30 minutes before the start time (at 1:30 PM). No candidate is permitted entry after the gate closes, even if the delay is due to traffic or transport issues.
