Preparation tips:

• The exam pattern of XAT keeps changing year after year and hence determining the exact variable of each section is a bit difficult, so students should concentrate on parts they know.
• Try finishing preparing all the sections covered in the paper in a stipulated time period.
• Try doing the aptitude and the reasoning areas well.
• Read papers and books to get a better hold of the language since there are a lot of twisted questions that come your way.
• Apart from that give a timely revision to each section.
• Go back to reading the previous papers properly in case you feel that solving mocks will make it easier for you to work on the preparation.
• Remember that CAT and XAT are relatively different and need different preparation processes in order to get a hang to it.
