XAT · Exam week

XAT: last 7 days revision plan

Topics, by syllabus order

Shishya has no past-paper weightage table for XAT, so these are the first topics of each subject in syllabus order — not a ranking.

1. Reading comprehension — Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning
2. Decision-making caselets — Decision Making
3. Arithmetic — Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation
4. Para jumbles — Verbal Ability and Logical Reasoning
5. Single decision situations — Decision Making
6. Algebra — Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation

What to use this week

• No full-pattern mock for XAT yet — timed topic practice instead.
• Mistake Notebook — every wrong answer from your submitted mocks, to re-test until cleared (needs sign-in, free).
• Exam-day checklist — timings with their source, what to carry, admit card.

Day-wise sprint

Day 7 = seven days before the exam; Day 1 = the day before. The same seven-step plan on every Shishya exam page, filled with what XAT has here.

1. Day 7 — Timed practice, then sort your mistakes

   • Timed topic practice on XAT
   • Signed in, the wrong answers of a submitted mock go into your Mistake Notebook by themselves

2. Day 6 — Top topics, part 1

   • Revise Reading comprehension — short notes first, then a few questions
   • Revise Decision-making caselets — short notes first, then a few questions

3. Day 5 — Top topics, part 2

   • Revise Arithmetic — short notes first, then a few questions
   • Revise Para jumbles — short notes first, then a few questions

4. Day 4 — Top topics, part 3

   • Revise Single decision situations — short notes first, then a few questions
   • Revise Algebra — short notes first, then a few questions

5. Day 3 — Second timed practice

   • Timed topic practice on XAT

6. Day 2 — Mistakes and one-page notes

   • Mistake Notebook: re-test every question you got wrong, until each one is cleared

7. Day 1 — Light revision and exam-day checklist

   • Only re-read what you already revised — nothing new today
   • Exam-day checklist: timings, what to carry, admit card
   • Sleep on time

This plan is a fixed set of steps, not a prediction of questions. Dates come only from the XAT tracker, each with its source tier (official = the conducting body's notice; reported = a secondary source).
