The Logical Reasoning and Reading comprehension questions of both exams are tough and there is a sectional time limit in both exams. Xavier's Aptitude Test is highly scored in the Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation section and so is Common Admission Test. The Verbal Ability and Decision-Making questions of the Xavier Aptitude Test are difficult and similarly, the Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning questions of the Common Admission Test are tough. Thus, it is slightly more difficult to score in these sections of the Common Admission Test and Xavier Aptitude Test. However, the presence of the Decision Making and General Knowledge sections makes Xavier's Aptitude Test tougher than Common Admission Test.
