How to use XAT previous year papers?
Attempt one full paper in a single timed sitting, then check it against the answer key. Note the topics where you lose marks and revise them before the next paper.
Solve the latest two years first, because they follow the current XAT pattern most closely. Older papers are best for topic-wise practice.
