govindrajan : Your preparation for CAT for quant and English would help you well in answering these two sections. Decision Making is one area which is specific for XAT where you need to be very thoughtful in answering the questions and be very keen while reading the given data. With careful reading you will be able to answer the questions without much difficulty. Do not go for guess work. GK and WAT will be evaluated for those who cleared the Quant, English and DM sections.

att : HOW IS SIES COLLEGE?
anujkhanna : can be kept as backup option but the college is not doing very well

chirag : SIR WHAT TO DO ON LAST DAY..?PREP WISE
anujkhanna : Keep this list of final tips in mind and you should be ready to ace the exam: XAT is not a tougher exam than CAT, it simply requires a different mindset. Keep the different sections of the exam in mind. Since this is a pen and paper test, there are no individual section time limits. Make sure you give enough time to your core strength areas so that you can score more. Do not spend excessive time on GK questions and be ready to leave the questions you are unsure about. Guess-work in this area can be risky.

att : WHAT ARE THE LAST MINUTE PREPARATIONS FOR XAT
anujkhanna : You can go through the past actual XAT papers as a starting point for your XAT preparation. Solving such XAT papers can give you a peek into the test and help you avoid costly mistakes. In quantitative ability and decision-making blocks, a very important thing to remember is - continue the logical thread from the main data until its end In reading comprehension, the answers may be implied within the line.

The questions that ask for a deep grasp of the author’s viewpoint, opinion on a debatable topic or the result he hopes to get from his readers ---- such questions are very common here.
