Here are the Most Common Question answered by the topper itself:
Q: What was your overall preparation strategy for XAT?
A. I had prepared for the MBA entrance tests myself, and did not go for any coaching. Like many others, I did not specifically prepare for XAT, except for the DM section. Someone who is preparing for XAT would have prepared for CAT as well, so the QA and Verbal sections can be covered by CAT. The best way to prepare for DM would be to solve only DM sections from past year papers. This section is very subjective, and more often than not, 2-3/5 options might feel correct. They could even be correct, from a different perspective. Unfortunately, XAT does not care about the subjectivity, and that is why it is paramount to practise the previous year papers. This way, the candidate will be able to understand how the examiner is thinking, and will be able to curb their natural thought process to arrive at the correct answer.

Here are the Most Common Question answered by the topper itself:
Q: This is very thoughtful of you to have researched so well before finalising your B-school. Let us now understand what was your overall preparation strategy for CAT?
A. I started my preparation from Jan 2022. Exams like CAT and other similar exams hardly require memorising anything. It is just testing one’s aptitude within a limited time frame. Hence, I devoted a major portion of my preparation time in using the methods and concepts learned through taking mocks and doing their subsequent analysis. Since managing the preparation and my job at the same time was challenging, I used to plan my tasks for the week ahead beforehand. During the weekdays, I used to learn the concepts and take mocks during the weekends.
