XAT scoring & marking scheme
Strategy: XAT penalises wrong answers (-0.25 per mistake). Skip a question if you cannot eliminate at least 2 options — guessing blindly hurts your scaled score more than blanking.
Scale: XAT (out of 100).
How XAT is conducted
Mode
Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
Test format
Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
Backtracking
Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
Mark for review
Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.
XAT time strategy
With 100 questions in 195 minutes, you have about 117 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:
Verbal & Logical Ability (26 Q)
Target ~115 sec/question. If a question takes more than 173 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Decision Making (21 Q)
Target ~143 sec/question. If a question takes more than 215 seconds, mark for review and move on.
Quantitative + Data Interpretation (28 Q)
Target ~150 sec/question. If a question takes more than 225 seconds, mark for review and move on.
GK + Essay (25 Q)
Target ~60 sec/question. If a question takes more than 90 seconds, mark for review and move on.
