Yes, the Reading Comprehension passages of the Xavier Aptitude Test exam are tougher than that of other Master of Business Administration entrance exams. Xavier's Aptitude Test also includes a poem. However, if the student has a good command of English and is in habit of reading English newspapers and journals, they can handle Reading Comprehension passages well on the Xavier Aptitude Test.

Yes, since the syllabus of the Xavier Aptitude Test and the Common Admission Test are similar, one can prepare for both exams from the same study material. The students will have to study separately only for the Decision Making section of the Xavier Aptitude Test as this section is not a part of the Common Admission Test syllabus.

The General Knowledge section of XAT 2025 will have 20 questions, each carrying one mark. Students are advised to attempt the General Knowledge section in 10 minutes as that is the time limit given for it. Since the questions are memory based, it will not take more time than that to solve the questions. For more information, you may visit the Shiksha Xavier Aptitude Test exam syllabus page.
