I had taken the exam a couple of times before, and I knew the three sections that it tested candidates on. However, this was the first time I had decided to write XAT as well. And it takes just one look at the exam pattern to realize that this paper is unlike any other B-school entrance exam you will write.

How My GMAT Prep Helped Me Land In XLRI Jamshedpur - Ishaan Singh, XLRI Jamshedpur (Batch '22)
When you aim big, you have to be one step ahead of the competition. Following this thought, I gave my 100%, whether it was work or my studies. After a hectic daily schedule and working 10-14 hours a day at a global professional services firm, it was challenging for me to study for the GMAT exam. Still, I try to manage 3-4 hours a week, primarily on weekends. I spent two months preparing for the GMAT exam and scored 710 out of 800. I converted Imperial Business School MIM and Purdue University MS in Business Analytics. But I didn’t stop there and aimed for XLRI - Xavier School of Management, Asia’s best B-school for Human Resource & Management, and gave XAT 2020. I scored an overall 99.1% in XAT 2020 with 97.5% in QA, 93.7 in VARC, and 95% in Decision Making. I believe that every experience helps you in your learning process. The GMAT preparation helped me in cracking XAT with flying colors.
