Quick answers
Frequently asked questions.
What is the unanswered question penalty in XAT?
XAT deducts 0.10 marks for each unanswered question beyond the first 8. The calculator adds this automatically from the questions you leave blank.
Is General Knowledge included in this score?
No. The GK section is not used for the XAT percentile, so it is left out of this calculator.
Does this calculator show my XAT percentile?
No. XLRI publishes percentiles with the result, based on all candidates' scores. Use this calculator for your expected raw score.
