After CAT, the MBA aspirant are busy preparing for the Xavier Aptitude Test aka XAT. The exam is conducted by XLRI, Jamshedpur. The XAT percentile is accepted in a wide range of top B-schools in India including Woxsen University, Hyderabad. With XAT scheduled for January 4, 2026, social media, community discussion forums, and group chats are brimming with last minute tips. 
In such a situation, the pressure to perform well often interrupts in preparations. With less than a month left for the examination, students can read the information below for the top 5 tips that would help students not get distracted, and elevate preparations to ace the exam. 
 
Avoid Distractions in the Study Routine 
It is important to not give too much importance to group chat suggestions or random tips. Students should focus on practicing what they have learnt and concentrate on revisions. 
 
Stop overthinking
The pre-exam self-doubt can send anyone to jitters. It is important that students trust their preparation, focus on revisions, and be confident about topics and sections they are strong in. There is no guarantee what worked for other candidates will work for everyone. It is a student's own strategy that will help them ace the exam.     
 
Improve Speed
Maintaining the speed as well as accuracy is of utmost importance. Aspirants should practice last minute mock-test with a timer and try to answer the easier questions and ones they are confident about before moving to the difficult questions. This helps in maintaining speed plus accuracy. 
 
Take a break
It is also important to take short breaks, hydrate well, talk to someone for 10 minutes before resuming preparations. This helps in improving focus for last minute prep.
 
Plan for XAT Applications 
It is better to not wait until results are out. Start shortlisting B-schools like Woxsen University, as it is one of the top B-schools in India that accept XAT scores, and offers industry-oriented programmes with global exposure. 
 
Taking a difficult entrance like XAT is quite demanding. However, students who want to attend top B-schools in India like Woxsen University, it is important for them to be agile, and give their best attempt.
