XAT TIPS


Do solve as many sample tests as possible. This will give you a clear picture of your strengths and weakness.
Do start your paper with the section which is your strongpoint. It will give you the psychological edge.
Do time yourself. Time management is crucial for XAT as there is no sectional time limit.
Do be prepared for changes in the paper pattern. It won't be XAT if there were no surprising elements in the package.
Do have a strategy but don't be rigid about it. If the paper doesn't come according to your own predictions, don't lose hope.
Don't try to take wild guesses. The penalty for negative marking in XAT is very heavy and may cost you a seat in your college of choice.
Don't focus only on one section. Just because there are no sectional cutoffs, it doesn't mean that you can leave out any section altogether.
Don't take your essay paper lightly. It will prove decisive in your GD and PI round.
Don't panic while giving the exam. More than being a test of your knowledge base, it's a test of how you handle pressure
