XAT 2023: Analysis of 2022 Examination
As per experts, the XAT 2022 examination was considered easier than the CAT 2021 exam. The Essay Writing section of the question paper was re-introduced last year, and it poses a challenge for some students. However, the exam overall was pretty easy. While the Decision Making and Verbal Ability sections were easy to attend to, the Quantitative Aptitude sections were perceived as slightly more difficult, considering that some of the questions were lengthy. The General Knowledge section was considered moderately difficult. Candidates can expect the same levels of difficulty for the XAT 2023.
