Why Solve XAT Mock Tests?

Let us understand how solving mock tests before appearing for the actual exam can be beneficial to all aspirants:

Mock exams will prepare candidates for the XAT 2023 test and help aspirants familiarize themselves with XAT.
After revising each chapter, it is vital to put the learning to test. Mock exams test a candidate’s application capability to the fullest.
XAT is a test of not just your aptitude, but also the pace at which you can solve the problems. The more you practice, the faster you get and the higher number of questions you can attempt.
By solving mock test questions, you will be able to assess yourself; the topics which you are good at, and topics that need improvement. This way you can focus on your weaknesses.
Solving more mock papers means covering a wider range of probable questions. This will help you cover every possible type of problem that might have otherwise been a challenge.
Solving mock tests will help you understand the tricks and shortcuts to identify correct options. Since the time limit does not allow candidates to attempt all questions, some can be answered by guesswork.
Candidates often score less than what they deserve due to stress and panic in the exam hall. Solving mock tests help them gain confidence.
Mock tests help candidates to revise the entire syllabus at once. If you hate learning something which you already learned, mock tests are for you!

Tips to Answer Each Section

There are a few tricks to scoring higher marks in XAT. Candidates might find the following tips helpful while answering questions from the given sections:

Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension:

Solve non-RC questions such as para jumbles and grammar first and try not to spend a lot of time on questions that you are completely unfamiliar with.
Attempting to answer all questions would be futile. A good attempt would be 7 - 8 questions out of 12.
Do not spend more than 50 minutes out of 165 minutes for VA. For vocabulary and parajumbles 10 - 15 minutes should suffice and for RC, 30 minutes are adequate.

Quantitative Aptitude and Data Interpretation:

Use your reading time wisely to figure out the questions you are familiar with so that not much time is not spent on problems that you would not be able to solve.
As questions from these sections will be mostly mathematical, try to calculate using shortcuts, tricks, and formulas.
For DI questions, do not make any assumptions and try to stick strictly to what is written in the problem.

Decision Making:

Always opt for the most ethical choice over options that provide short-term solutions or do not solve everyone’s problems.
Options in which no action is being taken or the situation does not change for the better must be avoided as these are not solutions.
Do not choose options that reflect your personal opinions. Don't let your political, social, or economical ideologies reflect on your answer.

General Knowledge:

Avoid spending a lot of time on a question with which you are not familiar. Overthinking will not solve a problem.
As there is no negative marking in this section, you can go for guesswork on a few questions.
Despite the fact that there is no negative marking for XAT GK, avoid spending more than 30 seconds on one question.

Ans. If your profile is suitable for the specialization that you have opted for and you didn’t get a call based on your profile, then a CAT score of 95-96 can get you a call. But it is not necessarily true that everyone with a score of around 96+ will get a score-based call. They evaluate profiles too for shortlisting. 96-97 is a decent score for XAT. A score above 98 in either of these two should get you a call. Read more

• Top Answer By Manali Tomar on 13-Dec-2021

Ans. Yes, as the questions are a bit more difficult than CAT in both quant and English. VARC can be a bit difficult, if you have not focussed on topics of critical reasoning and decision making in your class. Quant sees a number of questions from inequality, progression, boolean algebra, PnC and the general level is higher than CAT. The percentile-score balance and cut-offs for top 5 colleges which accept XAT scores, have low requirements. People aren't able to get those scores also because the exam is tough. XAT is easier because it is largely predictable. CAT is famous for being very unpredictable. So XAT is tougher than CAT by the level of questions asked. But as their paper is largely predictable it makes it comparatively easier to attempt. Read more

Ans. SPJIMR According to the information available, the expected cutoff for SP Jain Institute of Management for both profile-based and normal calls through CAT and XAT is not released yet.
