Hello! A lot of different answers for expected marks vs percentile for XAT 2021. Some say a score of 25 can yield a 95 percentile, but looking at Cracku's toppers list, a score of 25 has a rank of around 4300 odd(which is around 88 ish percentile). Does anybody have some clarity on this?Thanks.

Question

Aditya Pathak · Answer

Till XAT-2020, 25 marks would've gotten you an above 90%ile.

But, people just scored higher this year. Hence, the disparity.

Your calculations are correct. 25 marks in XAT 2021 would fetch a %ile of around 86-87.

Divyanshu · Answer

all are very smart people here having all the access to database of xlri ....first of all the very smart person said from cracku his rank is 4200 at 25 and if we consider total ppl 75k or 80k according to trends and internet the %ile comes at 94 -95 
Math: 1-(4200/80000) or 1-(4200/75000)....second thing 4200 is not the real rank first consider the sectional cutoffs too bcz every high scorer hasnt cleared sectional so if u have cleared sectional at 25 then ur %ile can be better given the ranking remains the same when extended to 80k ppl

GUYS!
The - 0.1 marks for unattempted question will reduce my overall score or sectional score? How exactly does it work? Thanks.

Om Prakash · Answer

yaar test takers should be at least 60 k but any way it is irrelevant as only serious people give xat.....

keshav murali · Answer

Hey @Anirudh- the Cracku score calculator already takes into account the -0.1 marks for unattempted questions. Also- is percentile calculated based on sectional cutoffs? Im not so sure, because different colleges have different cutoffs.

Rishab Rishab · Answer

in xat it's around 1 lack every year

Aman Kumar · Answer

I think there would be more than 40-50k test takers.

Anirudh Ramesh · Answer

First of all,Raw score is not your actual score in XAT. The top 4500 people you are saying needs to clear all the 3 sectional cutoffs..so top 4500 in the sense they are not top percentilers..XLRI will normalize all our scored and put a normalized percentage and percentile out of all candidates..Last year unattempted negative marking increased from 0.05 to 0.10 please take that factor also into account

Adithya- Thanks. Seems like another exam down the drain. Nothing much you can expect with a 88-90 percentile right? (Tier 1/ Really good tier-2)

keshav murali · Answer

Hi abinash. From what info i've got from the net, there are around 40K-50K test takers for XAT.

abinash chintala · Answer

can you tell me how did you arrive at 88 percentile for 4300? What is the total number of test takers?
