XAT 2025 Free Mocks: Attempt PYQs, Decision Making, and GK Sectionals
Overattempting the VA section in XAT:
While attempting all questions in CAT VARC is a good strategy, it might be bad for XAT VARC if you struggle or fluctuate a lot while maintaining the accuracy in this section. The HRM course in XLRI usually has a higher VA cutoff than BM.
The flexible time can tempt you to over-attempt, but keep in mind there will always be a few tricky questions that can increase or negatively. It’s better to leave them unanswered and deduct 0.1 than 0.25 by the wrong attempt.
XAT 2024 VALR Cut-Offs
The VALR section had the sectional cutoffs of 83 and 90th percentile for the BM and HRM programs respectively. If you think VA is your weaker section, attempting only 10 questions correctly can help you sail the cutoff. The score vs percentile data for the VALR section for XAT 2024 was:
Percentile | Marks |
