Is scoring 35+ a big deal? I don't understand the scoring levels in XAT. In CAT terms, is it equivalent of 100+ ?

Hi all, First of good wishes to all of you, and do well. I am assuming that you are aware of the XAT blueprint; it's up to you to find your strength be it Verbal or Quants. Once done, try to attempt each section VA, DM and QA in 40 mins each, and try to target the easy-medium difficulty level questions. As per me, I will be targeting 12-14 in QA (as per PYQP analysis out of 3 at least 1 DI question in QA is easy), ~12 questions in VA with maximum accuracy. And will try to maximize my DM attempts as I find it to be a very scoring field. Summing it up 12+12+12/14 you may easily target 35+. Which should suffice you to be amongst the 95+. A big mistake we do is: hitting around the bush in VA RC or DM, don't sabotage your scores doing this. You can mark 3-4 questions based on your intuition. Rest revise your notes and formula, #godspeed.
