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

"Success is the child of audacity"

Benjamin Disraeli, a former British Prime Minister, is known for his saying, “Success is the child of audacity”. It is true that success belongs to those who dare to think outside the box. Only those who dare to fail can achieve success in life. To do great tasks that are considered impossible by many requires determination and persistence.

The Wright brothers, who invented the airplane, were successful because they dared to think differently from people around them. Invention comes with a price of immense hard work, possibility of failure, and lack of support from people around.

Although the Wright brothers were sometimes ridiculed by the public, they did not lose focus of their goal. Invention requires trial and error experimentation, and there were many times that the Wright brothers failed in their tasks. But they did not get discouraged; they were determined to reach their goals that they continued to make improvements on their prototype by learning from their mistakes. 

Invention is never easy and it is common to make mistakes along the way. However, it is important not to lose confidence and faith in oneself when things are not proceeding well. People who are daring are persistent in what they do. That’s why they never fail and success eventually comes to them. Those who are determined to reach their goals have confidence in their abilities. 

Hence, they are unperturbed by the jeers and discouraging comments of people around them. We remember great people today because of their determination. Daring people like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhas Chandra Bose and Sardar Vallabai Patel are remembered by billions today because they were undaunted by challenging goals.
