Scoring 99+ % percentile is not required in XAT…95+ does the job

Candidates appearing for the XAT 2022 exams can check the exam pattern as given below to gain a better understanding of what the XAT question paper is like:
| Section Name | No. Of Questions | Negative Marking |
| Decision Making | 21 | +1 marks for every correct answer Negative 0.25 for every wrong answer |

| Quantitative Ability (QA) and Data Interpretation (DI) | 28 | |
| General Knowledge | 25 | No Negative Marking |
The total duration of the exam is 3 hours or 180 minutes.
XAT also considers sectional cutoff so you need to focus on each and every area of the syllabus as being good in English will not save you from the aptitude and scoring good in reasoning cannot compensate for your English score here.
40-45+ marks can be regarded safe to get you 95+ percentile, but, since percentile depends on the test taken it will vary accordingly
Key areas to score maximum percentile in XAT Exam are:
- Practice more and more mock tests to increase speed and accuracy as striking the right balance between speed and accuracy is all that matters to score well in XAT
- All sections are equally important so clearing sectional cutoff is mandatory
- One should practice critical reasoning and reading comprehensions as they can get you more marks.. do not underestimate this area
- Geometry, Number system, Probability, and DI is a key to cracking QA and DI section
- Prepare for static and current affairs for the past 6 months and revise them so that you can retain them at that very moment
