Hi,
The entrance to some of the most revered B-Schools in India, which include XLRI and XIMB, the Xavier's Aptitude Test or XAT, is a far cry from CAT, and in fact, from any entrance examination for that matter.
XAT is famous for its high difficulty level. XAT syllabus consists of English, Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, Data Interpretation, Decision Making, General Awareness and Essay Writing. Here are some syllabus details, based from last year's XAT paper pattern.
Quantitative Aptitude (QA) & Data Interpretation (DI)
In XAT, there are three sets of DI questions. Quant has similar sections like CAT exam. Here are some of the qu

There is nothing such thing called important topics. This view depends upon the preparation of the exam you are taking. There are a number of exams conducted in India for the MBA.

Hello,
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is "yes".
CAT preparation won't be sufficient enough for XAT and the same holds true if you are preparing for XAT.
This is because the intention to check on the areas are very different in both the exams.
XAT questions are on difficult side whereas CAT questions are easy to moderate level. Also, XAT has General Knowledge section and Decision making sections that are not covered in CAT syllabus.
Thus perpetration for one exam doesn't assure you are ready for other. But yes, the preparation of CAT will ensure a smooth road for XAT preparation and it would be easier.

Mostly the preparation is similar to CAT and since the exams aren't that far, there is nothing additional to be done for XAT. You have to solve a lot of sample papers to get a feel of the format and the level of questions expected.
