Jumbles sentences in a paragraph

You may find 3 to 4 questions in XAT. Jumbled paragraphs are not very long but a little tricky. Tips to solve them are to find out the connectors to sentences e.g. conjunctions, personal or relative pronouns (He/ she/ it /they /their /who / whose/that/which etc.) as they indicate that they must have been used in place of some nouns. So find the link between the sentences and practice more.

Practice the Figures of speech and phrases

These are highly probable topics for XAT 2014. XAT 2012 and 2013 didnt place questions on Figures of speech but there were 2-3 questions on use of phrases. There is very high probability that you may have 3-4 questions to identify various figures of speech in Verbal Ability. It is suggested to go through at least a few important ones like Simile, metaphor, Personification, Hyperbole, Oxymoron, apostrophe, euphemism, alliteration. Practice a little to understand the difference among them.

Reading Comprehension
Half of Verbal Ability section consists of questions on this part of English language. Concentrate on Reading Comprehension. Three or four passages in XAT are shorter say about 500-700 words than in CAT although they have rich and literary language. Questions are more direct and are based on information available in the passages. Aspirants are advised to regularly read the editorials, good literature and philosophy books. When you go on reading a passage, make it mandatory to write down the core sentences and difficult words on a piece of paper, their contextual usage should be understood. By the time you finish reading the passage you will have understood the greater part of it and this will save your time on answering the questions.

Practice the vocabulary

It is high time that you understood and practiced the Vocabulary words in right context. An aspirant may have good stock of vocabulary words but their correct synonyms, antonyms with understanding of contextual use are very much required. All the mugging will be irrelevant if correct usage are not known or the confusion still persists where to place the said word.

Essay Writing

This is one of the neglected but most important part at least for those who wish to get admission in a very good B school. Although evaluation of essay writing is not accounted for in calculation of percentile immediately after written examination, questions on your writing piece will be asked in the personal interview round which is the final selection round.
