Less than 24 hours to go for XAT 2019.. What to do.. What not do.. Tips from an XLRI alumnus


Hey Folks. Having aced XAT and graduated from XLRI a few years ago, I wanted to share some tips on what to do and what not to do with less than 24 hours left for the exam. This is what worked for me.


What to Do

# 1. Stop all preparations – Please DO NOT continue any preparations. You have prepared well all this while so stressing yourself now is not going to help any bit. At best, you can work on a weak area for an hour ( this is for those who like last minute prep.. Rest of you stop any preparations).


# 2. Distract yourself from XAT – Do the things you like to do. It could be anything – going for a movie with friends, watching cricket, football, sitcoms, listening to music, chilling with friends. A few recommendations – The Mentalist on Amazon Prime, Andhadhun- movie of the year on Netflix, India vs Australia – highlights on Sony Liv, Super Dancer on Sony.


#3. Get a good night’s sleep – This is easy to say, but the best way to do this is to make your body do this to you. If you play any sports or workout, just play a small game of badminton, or work out in the gym, or do something which gives you some activity without wearing you out. Good sleep and fresh mind is important.


#4. Plan your strategy for XAT – D Day – Play to your strengths. Read the question and attempt it only if you see yourself working it. A very important key to ace XAT is to not attempt every question. Be selective and go for the kill. Different people have different strategies. Chose what works and don’t change your strategy now. Back yourself.Β 


If you want a few last minuteexam tips, you can have a look at the webinar conducted by www.alphanumeric.co.iin 2 days ago. Link for replaying the webinar given below.

#5. Dream – Dream that you have cleared XAT and got into XL. When you strongly desire something and dream continuously, then the world will conspire to fulfil your dreams. XL is one of the best B schools in India and you need to strongly desire it. Only if you have a strong desire, will the world conspire to get you into XL.


What Not to Do

#1. Do not prepare/solve anything now

#2. Do not have any expectations about your performance. Don’t keep any benchmarks of results and put unnecessary pressure on yourself.

#3. Do not discuss anything about the exam with friends/family/others.Just chill

#4. Do not over eat. Eat light

#5. Do not do any intense physical activity.

#6. Do not kill yourself that you have not prepared this section/that section

#7. Do not let your EGO come in the way and answer a question/answer every question if you feel you are not confident and even if you have spent fair amount of time

#8. Do not worry about exam paper being tough. Its tough for everybody.

#9. Do not attempt questions which you are not confident.

#10. Do not spend too much time on one single question.


Final words..Just chill. Its just another exam. Don’t set high expectations and kill yourself. The most CALM people clear XAT and join XL. The tense people do not clear XAT. XL looks for calm, composed, balanced yet aggressive individuals who have high ethical standards. All the best folks. May you achieve your dreams.
