Hi friends, I was searching for a thread for XAT 2013 and I was a little astonished when I couldn't find any, so I decided to start one.
This thread is confined to the preparation for XAT 2013 only.
It's said in Bhagwat Geeta "We can only work hard, result of it lies in hands of GOD ". So lets do our duty and keep success/failure in hands of GOD. Hope we can untangle the immensely complex XAT questions. Let us crack through.

@mansi1 General Instructions for? For attempting the exam, all the instructions you need will be written in 1st page of the question booklet. Regarding other things, reach the test venue well in time. Account for traffic snarls (even if those roads are generally empty!) also and start well in advance. Carry some water with you if you want (trust me some people panic, throats go dry and what not!). Have light food before you go, neither empty stomach nor too full. You want more of these or you were looking for something else? :mg:
sorry for late question...but,,Will the GK section marks be included in the list preparation for XLRI and other premier institutes like XIMB etc???? or they will see GK and essay separately,,???
@niloy1 Funny question! Sorry, no offence meant but just wondering how that question came up in your mind? Overall %tile will of course be based on your overall score in all sections together!! There's nothing like best of 2 or 3 like in ISC exams where best of 4 is taken for %age calculation!! :)

But how would you judge if a question is incomplete/wrong?!! For all you know, you may not be knowing the technique to solve it or probably not understood the question probably!!

Suppose in the XAT paper tomorrow, we find that a question is wrong or has incomplete data .. should we attempt it or leave it ? What does XLRI do in case of incorrect questions?
@amathew Better leave it, either that question won`t be a part of the evaluation or everyone would be awarded the required marks for it. Generally it`s the former. ATB!
But how would you judge if a question is incomplete/wrong?!! For all you know, you may not be knowing the technique to solve it or probably not understood the question probably!! That's the decision you have to take in exam hall - to attempt a question or not - within a span of around 1-2 mins which you have for each question!! If you save time by skipping certain questions which are bit crooked/confusing (or having wrong/incomplete info according to you), you get more time for other questions which are more doable. :)

Appearing XAt for the 1st time , can some body let me know if some one score 30 in Quant and 5 each in other two section 40 in total will his percentile be determined on his total score (i.e 40) or sectional score (5,5,30) will play a role in determining the overall percentile.In short if i attain 95 percentile in Quant 30 in DM and 30 percentile in English will my total percentile be calculated on total score or depending upon the individual percentile.
Plz help really confused.I am tageting colleges which sees over all score and not sectional.

The GK score will not be used to calculate the Percentile but no info is available is to how the GK/Essay score will be used.Surely XLRI will use it during the GD/PI in some form.
So is it just for people who have applied to XLRI or is it for everybody.
Ohh.. Thanks on behalf of so many Puys who would have sought you for help :) Call it my Foolishness.. :banghead: Had been home for quite some time after CAT.. By the time I was back and could decide to finally go for it, XIMB deadlines passed away.. So didnt fill XAT too.. I know I did a...
Had been home for quite some time after CAT.. By the time I was back and could decide to finally go for it, XIMB deadlines passed away.. So didnt fill XAT too.. I know I did a mistake here.. Anyways, Happy Preparations n ATB ! :)
It's Easier To Go Down A Hill Than Up It.. But The View Is Much Better At The Top ! :)
Oh Damn. I was not able to recall that who all had tagged me here and asked about this. Your name clicked and I tagged you :PWhy ? :roll::roll:Oh Thanks :DI hope. :lookaround:

@shaswata_maitra You have given the answer partly, yourself. "Its introduced for first time"! So unless XLRI comes out specifically with a notification no one can know for sure. It will all be speculation (based on the fact that it is clubbed with essay writing) that it will be considered only a part of GDPI stage. Stop worrying about that as of now, and prepare your mind for the exam on Sunday, to give it the best you can in all sections.

Hi Puys,Can anybody tell me whether the GK section that is being introduced from this year is going to be an eliminating section, i.e. whether we need to clear the cut-offs in GK to get a GDPI call from XLRI or is it going to be just like the essay writing which is not taken into consideration for deciding the cut-offs?Thanks,Shaswata
