XAT is the Xavier Aptitude test which is held by the Xavier Labour Relation Institute on behalf of Xavier Association of Management Institute. It is used all across the country for courses like MBA and PGDM by more than 800 institutes. Next year XAT will be conducted in January 2020. It is an online test of 3 hours and is considered one of the hardest of its kind and thus requires the utmost dedication and awareness.


It is divided into 4 sections of Verbal Ability, Quantitative aptitude, Decision making, and GK and thus requires you to have a strategy for each and every section individually as for the test of this stature requires the best of your preparation to secure the seat in the institute of your dreams.


Now for the Decision making, I would suggest you should take up to 50–55 minutes but can add more 5–7 minutes according to your ability and situation at the time of the exam as this is the most needlessly apprehensive section and thus is the most scoring one too. Thus try to maximize your score in this section.


For verbal I would suggest going for the RCs first because those are the most scoring and the easiest as you just need to find the answers from the passage themselves and not use any kind of concepts or whatever to solve the questions.


Now for the Quant section, I would take that you know this because you know maths but this isn't the truth you need to practice each and every topic so that you can make the most out of this section as it is the most probable to make you lose your marks.


For GK I would say that a score of 6–8 will be sufficient and not more than 10 minutes will be needed. Also for its preparation, you would be needing past 3 months facts and news.

Solve the previous 5 years XAT papers under actual exam conditions and analyze your performance. Focus on Decision Making questions.

Hope you find it helpful

let me know in the comment box if you are having any further doubts

thanks

Good Luck!
