XAT

Hi,
If you are well prepared for CAT and your basics are clear, you need only a month for XAT.
If you can arrange enough quality material for practice, a coaching institute won't be necessary. However, it is always good to have mentors.
Try solving as many previous XAT papers as you can. It helps you strengthen your concepts and gives a fair idea of the time you will need for each section during the exam.
XAT also tests your GK and writing skills. These two do not need any extra attention if you are well read up on current affairs.
Emphasise on picking the right questions to attempt. It will help you balance your score across all the sections.
