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
carefully arrange the study timetable and exam strategy.

● Early planning - 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.
