Absolutely! In the final week, it's less about learning new topics and all about perfecting your strategy.
Solving past XAT papers is the best way to get into the "exam zone." It helps you master time management, build stamina for the full duration, and get comfortable with the unique Decision Making section. Think of it as the final dress rehearsal. This kind of focused preparation is exactly what helps successful candidates crack the exam and secure admission into top B-schools like GIBS. It's the key to turning your knowledge into a great score.

Yes, solving XAT question papers of previous years, just a week before the exam will be helpful. By the last week of the exam, you would have completed your preparation and doing revision. While, doing revision, solving previous years' XAT question papers will be helpful in assessing strong and weak areas, as well as understanding which type questions have been asked previously and what can you expect. Basis that, and your strength and weakness, you can decide which questions to attempt and which to skip. Solving past years' XAT question papers will also boost your confidence.
