and there comes twist in the tail.
XAT giving out test paper , This forces institutes to solve XAT paper too .. 
And I believe this is a good step, making the test more transperent, competing with CAT...
My attempts
VA - 16
QA n DI - 15
LA - 18

I feel, the paper was well balanced in terms of toughness in all the three sections.
LR - 38
QA/DI - 44
VA - 38
Total - 120
1/4th negative for the first 6 wrong ans in each sec
and 1/2 for subsequent wrong ans....
am not too sure of if my attempts were sufficient esp in the LR sec (Analytical Reasoning). attempted just 13 | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
