Normal practice, or a Simulated test
The same questions, either way. Normal practice teaches; the simulated test tells you where you stand.
Normal
UntimedEvery question on one page, loading as you scroll. Choose an option and see straight away whether it was right.
- No timer. Nothing to start and nothing to submit. Stop whenever you like.
- Answered as you choose. Tap an option and it is marked at once, with the correct answer shown.
- Solutions in place. The explanation, and the video where one has been added, sit under the question.
- Open to guests. Normal practice needs no sign-in.
Simulated
Timed CBTThe computer-based test format: one clock, a question palette, and a score the moment you submit.
- A clock that does not pause. 75 minutes from the moment you begin, and the paper is submitted for you when it reaches zero.
- Question palette. Answered, not answered and marked for review, section by section, as the real interface has it.
- Full screen, proctored. The test takes over the screen; leaving it three times submits the paper.
- Answers hidden until you submit. The key, the explanations and your score all arrive together at the end.
About this test
This section of the Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) 2025 is critical for assessing a candidate's mathematical aptitude and analytical reasoning. It typically features 28 multiple-choice questions that require deep conceptual understanding rather than simple formula application. Key aspects of this "real exam" module include:
Syllabus Coverage:
Arithmetic: A major portion covering Percentages, Profit & Loss, Ratio & Proportion, Time & Work, and Time Speed & Distance.
Geometry & Mensuration: High-weightage topics often including Triangles, Circles, Polygons, and Coordinate Geometry.
Algebra: Functions, Inequalities, Logarithms, Quadratic Equations, and Progressions.
Number System & Modern Math: Remainder theorems, Probability, and Permutations & Combinations.
Data Interpretation (DI): intricate sets based on Tables, Charts (Pie, Bar), Line Graphs, and Caselets that often require logical deduction alongside calculation.
Exam Pattern & Marking:
Scoring: +1 mark for every correct answer, -0.25 marks for every incorrect answer.
Unattempted Penalty: A unique deduction of -0.10 marks applies for every unattempted question beyond 8 consecutive skips.
Difficulty: Historically moderate to difficult, often cited as conceptually denser than similar MBA entrance exams.
