Hi jay,

You will have to write a 20 min essay after to submit your xat answer sheet. Space prvided would be limited(1 page). Topic can be anything under the sun, so going thru essay books wont be of much help.

Just think about the essay topic for a while, structure your thoughts well and then write it in simple language. Neatly written essays are always easier for the examiner to check.

XLRI does not specify where or at what stage this essay is used. I remember seeing my essay with the panel durin my interview, but no questions were asked on it. But the very fact that they make you write this essay means that it is indeed taken into consideration for selection.

Regards

Kush

XAT GK is very unpredictable and i am yet to come across a gk book tht gives XAT type questions. Last yr we had questions on humorous quotes, history, geog. etc .

I guess the best way to crack XAT GK is intelligent thinking during the exam. You'll have lot of time in hand as XAT has sectional time limits.

GK section has its own cut off so it is as imp as any other section. You have to clear GK cut off to get a call from XL.

Finishing touch to prep...just brush up your vocab, maths formulae (esp perm n comb) and keep a cool mind.

Regds,

Kush

PS-> chond, sood, mrugank... see wht can u add to gk prep bit.
