<p>Ideally, XAT preparation takes six to nine months, but if candidates have prepared for CAT too, XAT preparation can be done in lesser time as one will have to only work on Decision Making and General Knowledge topics. Those who are weak in English Comprehension must start reading practice early on. The ideal time to start XAT preparation is May, so you can cover the whole syllabus by October and&nbsp;dedicate two months to mock test practice.</p><p>If you start studying for XAT late, by July or so, make sure you complete the syllabus by October only. Remember that XAT syllabus is tough, so you&rsquo;ll need to study at least 6-8 hours daily from start until the end. Give ample time to yourself to complete the XAT syllabus.</p>
