How to actually use your 3 days
Maximise marks per hour — there is no time for anything but the highest-yield topics.
This 3-day push gives you 3 days to work through 11 weighted XAT topics across 2 subjects — roughly 3.7 new topics a day at 8–10 hours of focused study. That is not a study plan in the normal sense — it is damage control, and done right it can still move your score.
XAT marks are not spread evenly across subjects. Decision-Making and General Knowledge carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — with only the heaviest topics in scope, everything else is deliberately out of frame. Study only XAT's weight-5 topics — for most candidates the heaviest of Decision-Making and General Knowledge. Everything weight-4 and below is noise at this range; skip it without guilt.
In 3 days you cannot cover 11 topics, so this plan does not try. It targets only the handful that historically carry the most marks. The failure mode here is spreading thin. Pick the top topics and go deep enough to actually score, rather than skimming everything.
What to prioritise & cut
Study only XAT's weight-5 topics — for most candidates the heaviest of Decision-Making and General Knowledge. Everything weight-4 and below is noise at this range; skip it without guilt.
Mock tests & revision
No full mocks. Spend every minute on previous-year XAT questions for your highest-weight topics and memorise their solution patterns.
Weekly rhythm
There is no week — work in 90-minute blocks on your heaviest XAT topics, short breaks between, prioritising recall over re-reading.
Subject-wise topic split
Each topic shows its weightage (1–5 dots) and the concepts you'll cover. Higher-weight topics appear first.
