How to crack XAT 2013?

The duration of the test is 120 minutes for the objective type section and an additional 20 minutes is provided at the end of the 2 hours for the essay writing section.

In order to crack XAT, you should first know how the exam is different from others. In XAT, the Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation questions are in one section. The second section is English Usage (EU) and RC. The third section is Analytical Reasoning (AR) and Decision making.

In the recent past, the XAT has had more questions than the CAT exam to be solved in lesser time. While in the CAT exam it may be possible to get a decent shot at all questions, in XAT it is more advisable to drop tough looking questions, and find the easier ones to solve.

Thus, selection of easier questions is very important, which are very well inserted between the tougher questions, the reason for the perception of XAT being a tougher nut to crack than CAT.

Essay in previous XAT - Analysis

After the test of 2 hours, the candidates were given 20 minutes to write an essay. That time the essay topic had two statements:

Poverty is a big menace in India. Due to its complexity and magnitude, most of the government initiatives fail.

Poverty is a consequence of failure of government policies due to the governments not targeting the root causes.

One had to select one of the statements and then justify the same and substantiate it with the help of relevant examples.

This was an easier task compared to the essay topic given last year where most students found it difficult to understand the statement. This was topical theme – poverty in India – and one who is updated regarding the welfare policies and schemes of government could have written the essay well.
