XAT is of 140 minutes and includes 200 objective type questions and an essay of 250-300 words. There are 80 questions in English, 60 in Reasoning and Quantitative Ability, and 60 in General Awareness. Data Interpretation book and Verbal & Non verbal reasoning book by R.S. Agarwal are quite popular for CAT and XAT preparation. Keep reading Economic Times and Times of India as well as editorials of Hindu and Indian Express. That should do the trick for your General Awareness. Business Today is good to keep yourself updated about the business world too. Competition Success REview is good. For ENglish, try good old Wren & Martin and a good Oxford dictionary. Best of Luck! And if you like my answer, a 'Best Answer' would be a good way to thank me.;)
