Although the basic preparation for both the exams is almost the same. But, you need to notch it up further to ace XAT. I have always believed that XAT is different from CAT in so many ways. Starting with the level of questions, XAT difficulty level has almost always been a bit higher than that of CAT. In the last few years, the gap has definitely increased with difficulty of CAT taking a dip. CAT has become more like a speed based test where your number of attempts, as well as, accuracy matters a lot. Whereas, XAT has maintained its stance over the years. It has been more about choosing the right questions and managing the three sections to clear individual cut offs. Even if you attempt, say half the paper, you still stand a chance if your accuracy is great.
