Second one is not surprize dude....India can do anything when it comes to do worse...don't think I am not an Indian cricket supporter..

Two surprises:

1. XAT gave the question paper:wow:
2. India lost d test match:wow:

lr 18
va 18
qa 16


overall 56

does ny1 has any idea how could gender imbalance lead to "A Third World War" or was it meant to be in-a-way-of-saying kinda term? atleast that is what it looks like.

XAT was horrible !!

PS: Steve Bucknor Sucks !!

64 attempts total. Let's see what happens

Can the mods please merge this thread and "XAT 2008: the spills, the thrills, the slips"...With the same discussions going on both, makes sense, right?!

if u sayin 56 to be pathetic attempts
den wat abt us @36

well i'll tell u 2 reasons y dis atempt is pathetic
1) only 9 in math - sectional balance gone 4 a toss
2) more attempts in other sections- no surety of ans. so more negative marking !! dats y dis is pathetic...
n ur 36 wud b good if balanced....u didnt mention ur sectional attempts....
lot of diff. bet me n other sensible ppl !!

My attempt were around 45...

Man y do they ve to b different and do progressive negative and an essay..

GOD essay was a disaster.. Can somebody tell me what exactly was expected in the essay??

Please post the expected cut offs as soon as possible..

Overall Okay!

OA - 48 attempts

VA - 17 (Good knows)
LR - 17 (Average)
QA - 17 (Unexpectedly Avg to Difficult)

Well i think it was kinda avg. difficult paper. More or Less like CAT only

My Attempts:

LR: 21 Avg. difficulty
QA: 18 Difficult but DI was avg.
VA: 19 Avg. Difficulty

Overall: 58 attempts

Best of Luck to all

this exam was like a nightmare at least for me...just 42 attempts...never realised time was running so fast...

VA: 13 (not sure how many will be correct)
LR: 21 (I hope more than 90% accuracy)
QA : 8 (With 90% accuracy.)

Total : 42 attempts.....no chance...bbye XL....

a lengthy tough slightly easy paper
most of the questions were solvable only problem was to manage time for it....

the discount in negative marking came as the only suprise and a pleasent one.....

i did just ablut ok...
oa attempts 49

va:20
lr:17
qa:12


i guess just about 5 questions short from being in a comfortable situation

Two surprises:

1. XAT gave the question paper:wow:
2. India lost d test match:wow:

sorry....
became double post due to merging of threads!!!!!!

moi attempts:
english:8
quant:12
di:16
total:36

after a disastrous paper then india loosing the test match ... i just wish sun sets down early today

well how was it?!? mine..im not sure...my attempts:

QA: 11
DI: 17
EU: 18
total: 46 :(

how do u think this performance is puys?

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

well i guess not too good...attempts r pathetic....only 56 - very low in quant - only 9:(.....m so slow...... n sumthin tells me d cutoffs r gonna go high dis yr....wasnt dat difficult if handled carefully i guess. though it was brain-racking n very lengthy. i know ive messed up dis 1 too ..dat makes 2 disasters countin CAT ... n essay was absurd.. gender imbalance n WW-III:sleepy:
1have only 1 line 4 dis paper.... M GLAD ITS OVER !!:grin:

if u sayin 56 to be pathetic attempts
den wat abt us @36

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
