What is expected from you in XAT 2014?

In XAT 2014 exam, unlike other MBA entrance tests, candidates need to be more attentive in selecting which question to solve and what to drop without wasting much time. This is an important aspect of XAT examination as it throws more number of questions to be solved in less time.

In such a pressure building scenario, students need not lose their nerve and solve easier looking questions before attempting tough or complicated questions.

However, selection of easier questions is very difficult as they are very well inserted between the tougher questions that are speed breakers in such competitive exams.

But, it is not impossible to master the skill of scrutinizing questions and one could polish this skill by regress practice and disciplined preparation.

For instance, one can easily find simpler questions based upon algebra and trigonometry, between two questions which might involve application of calculus.

Though the questions based upon calculus and functions are themselves on decline as observed in the past.

Thus, XAT 2014 on 5^th January will primarily test three skills in any aspiring student:

• Decision making abilities,
• Pressure handling and meeting deadline capability
• Ability to capitalize on ones' strengths

Let’s us not prepare to fail

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. It is true that if you do not set goals beforehand or plan ahead in life, you cannot succeed in life.

Success only comes to those with determination, who set concrete goals in life. Successful people have short term, medium term and long term goals. 

Since long term goals are the most difficult to achieve, people come up with short term goals, which will slowly but surely help them to move in the right direction. 

This way, one is organized and well-planned. With so much preparation, one does not lose focus of his goals and objectives even when the going gets tough.

People who fail to prepare goals beforehand lose their way easily. Since they are not clear about their goals, they give up when they are unable to face challenges in life. 

Charles Dickens once said, “I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, diligence, and the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time”. These are the key ingredients for the ‘success’ recipe.

Inculcate habit of challenging yourself

It is natural that whenever we aim to achieve big, we are either told or guided to make our mind set that it will be a challenging one.

Times have changed, now it is taken granted that only weak minds will suggest negative and we must shun them. Fickle minded people are not invited to happening forums.

Overnight fighting spirit will not be born; you need to inculcate habit of challenging yourself for doing the best always. That will yield desired results.
