It is not recommended to attempt a XAT mock test a day before the exam. That time should be best left for revision of important formulas and concepts, revisiting the exam day strategy and relaxing. Attempting a full-day mock test can be mentally tiring and may shake up your confidence in case you do

If a candidate has appeared for the XAT exam before and is only attempting again for score improvement, then they can prepare for it with mock tests only. But if a candidate is appearing for the XAT exam for the first time and is not familiar with the syllabus, they cannot prepare with XAT mock test

For a student starting from scratch, a dedicated 3-4 months is a healthy timeframe. This isn't about stressful, hours-long cramming sessions. Instead, it's about cultivating a habit. Think of it as spending just 20-30 minutes each day getting to know the world better—reading a good newspaper, browsi

What makes it so tough isn't complex formulas or obscure vocabulary; it's the ambiguity. The DM section doesn't test what you know, it tests who you are as a leader and a person. It throws you into a minefield of ethical dilemmas, business conflicts, and personnel issues where every option seems par

Digital copy of the XAT admit card is not accepted for identification so candidates must ensure they carry print out of their hall ticket.

"Tough" isn't quite the right word; "tricky" is more accurate. The Decision Making questions are unique because they don't have a single, formula-based right answer. They present you with complex business and ethical dilemmas where all the options seem very close.

The real challenge is to pick the mo

No questions are technically 'mandatory' in XAT, but there's a crucial catch. You get penalized with negative marking if you leave more than 8 questions unattempted across the main sections (Verbal, DM, and Quant).

So, the real strategy isn't just about accuracy; it's about making smart attempts to a

Absolutely! In the final week, it's less about learning new topics and all about perfecting your strategy.

Solving past XAT papers is the best way to get into the "exam zone." It helps you master time management, build stamina for the full duration, and get comfortable with the unique Decision Making
