Tips to Prepare for XAT 2023

According to experts, It takes 6 to 8 months to prepare for the XAT. Therefore, it is crucial to arrange the study timetable and exam strategy carefully.

  • Early planning will aid in better reading and comprehension abilities, a good vocabulary, and general awareness.
  • Start answering questions from prior years - After each XAT paper and mock exam, you must evaluate your performance and pinpoint your strong and weak points.
  • Utilize shortcuts- failing to do so will make it difficult to embrace such practices.
  • Work on the time limit- Because there are no segment time constraints on the XAT, you must choose how much time to allot to each part.
