XAT Preparation Tips:
1- Start solving XAT mock tests series. After solving each mock test analyze the time is taken and several correct attempts.
2- When you attempt the next mock test, try to solve it faster and with more accuracy than the previous one.
3- Keep aside an hour or two to analyze the problems that you face in solving mocks which type of questions takes more time, questions from which topics remained unsolved, which questions looked easy but your answer was incorrect, etc. This activity will make you understand your weak areas in which you need to work harder.
4- Along with solving mock tests and sample papers, spend the last month revising concepts and theorems. Make short notes for last-minute revision on the XAT exam day.
5- Focus on memorizing vocabulary and word meaning. If you haven't worked on these in the months before, don't worry. You can cover this part of VARC in the last month too.
6- The general Knowledge section is the easiest section of XAT so you can prepare for it in the last month. The questions in the GK section are memory based so all you need to do is memorize important events and occurrences. For more information, you may visit the Shiksha XAT exam page.
