    Hi,
    Planning is very important to crack XAT in 6 months. So, my suggestions are:

    XAT is different of all the examinations conducted for an MBA entrance process by the way of its structure and level of toughness. The paper might give a candidate surprises by asking strange and tough questions.
    Also, one unique thing about the test and the college (XL) is the transparency in the results. They provide you not only with the answers but also the solutions in detail post examination. No other test goes to such level of transparency.
    Assuming that a candidate is pretty good at language competency, and have been reading intensively over the past 2 or 3 years, six months should be good enough to prepare you for the questions
