When making a strategy for CMAT exam keep in mind that it is a speed based exam and there is negative marking. Since, there is no sectional time limit, solving adequate number of questions in every section will be key.

It is not advised to prepare for CMAT with sample papers only. One must refer to CMAT books and study material to cover the exam syllabus. Once you've understood each and every topic included in the CMAT syllabus then you can practice CMAT sample papers for gaining control, speed and accuracy.

Yup, 100%! MAT isn't the only ticket. If you've got a valid score in MAH-CET, CAT, CMAT, XAT, ATMA, or even GMAT, you're sorted. RSIM's chill with multiple exams — just make sure you show up with one of those legit scorecards.

Yes, apart from CAT, IMT Ghaziabad also accepts GMAT and XAT scores for admission to PGDM course. For admission, candidates have to completed bachelor degree in any discipline from a recognised institution with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks. The institute considers entrance exam scores for its shortlisting process. Then a personal interview, work experience and academic performance evaluated.

It is not suggested to attempt a XAT mock test a day before exam. That time should be devoted in revision of important formulas and concepts, revisiting exam day strategy and relaxing. Attempting a mock test can be mentally tiring and may shake your confidence in case you don't score well. You wouldn't want to go into the exam with a doubtful mind.

One should attempt only one XAT mock test in a day. A full length XAT mock test is of three hours. After which you will have to spend some time analyzing your performance and revisiting problem areas. About 4-5 hours will be spent in this and you mind will already be exhausted. Thus, best is to do some revision for the rest of study time and pick up another mock test next day or later.

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 tests only. XAT syllabus coverage is necessary before starting XAT mock test practice.

Ideal time to start XAT mock test practice is after covering the syllabus. When you're thorough with all the concepts and formulae, you will be able to solve all types of questions in the XAT mock test. XAT exam is conducted in January first week, so one should start mock test practice in November and dedicate two months to it.
