Divide mock time in 3 chunks: Shekhar Kapoor SPJIMR student & XAT topper
Shekhar Kapoor who scored 99.058 in XAT 2016 and is a student of SPJIMR advises the high scoring test taking strategy which he adopted while preparing for the exam I divided the allotted time in 3 chunks. The first chunk was of 30 minutes where I started with the first question and kept on attempting only those which I felt were sitters. I simultaneously kept on marking the questions which, though a bit lengthy, were easy to solve. At the end of 30 minutes I reached the end of the section with all the questions to be attempted in the second chunk. Then, I started attempting these questions spending not more than 2 minutes per question. This chunk was for 20 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, I tried to attempt at least 3 to 4 questions among the ones I had previously thought that they were difficult. http://www.mbauniverse.com/xat-mock-register-2017.php

This is the most important aspect because a lot of well-prepared candidates lose out due to stress during the exam. Taking multiple mock tests can help avoid this. Apart from that, mock tests help one to identify their strengths and weaknesses and give the candidates an idea of where to dedicate their time and effort.
Do post mock analysis as it is extremely important, or else you wont improve. Lastly, you should give the same mock untimed (without the 3-hr restrain) to realize whether to work on speed or content. http://www.mbauniverse.com/xat-mock-register-2017.php
Mocks; way to crack XAT: Disha Gupta XAT 97.26 percentile

By taking full length tests, one gets to know ones strengths and weaknesses. And by analysing the attempted mocks, the student gets better idea as to which question he/she should attempt first, so that the score could be maximized by maximizing the attempts.
