    Analysis of XAT-2003

    Shock, anger, surprise were some of the words used by the students coming
    out of the Examination centre after taking XAT 2003. "Shock" was used to
    explain the incredibly simple English questions and also for the untouchable
    Maths ones. The GK section was surprisingly easy and the most unpopular
    cum mind-boggling Maths questions threw students totally off their balance.
    They found themselves in a totally hapless condition as they could solve
    very few Maths questions despite being given "ample" time for the section.
    It was a three-section paper just like last year with sectional timings. The
    English and GK sections were a walkover as compared to last year but the
    Maths section gave students an unforgettable jolt. The optimum number of
    attempts was in the range of 120 to 130.

    As far as the individual sections are concerned English was the one which
    would fetch the maximum score followed by GK.

    Sectional Breakup:

    Section No. Of Questions Difficulty Level


    1. English 80 Average
    2. Reasoning & 60 Difficult
    Quantitative Ability
    3. General Awareness 60 Average

    Section 1: English (VA and RC)

    Area Tested No. Of Questions Difficulty Level


    RC ( 1 Passage) 10 Easy
    Analogies 20 Average
    Fill in the Blanks 20 Average
    Synonyms 10 Average
    Antonyms 20 Average

    A total of 80 questions were to be solved in 40 minutes. Here the ideal


    number of attempts would be 70+ and the cutoff would be 50+.
    Section 2 : Maths

    A total of 6 Caselets with 10 questions each to be solved in 50 minutes,


    which were extremely difficult. A total of 12 to 16 attempts would be
    considered ideal. The cut off for this section would be 8+ if there is any.

    Section 3 : GK

    A total of 60 questions to be solved in 30 minutes

    The ideal number of attempts would be 40+ and the cut off would be in the
    range of 25+.

    Essay:

    To give real service, one need to add something, which cannot be bought or
    measured, like sincerity and integrity.

    Total cut-off could be safely pegged at 85+.
