If I am preparing for CAT, do I need to prepare separately for XAT?

As per my opinion, XAT is the toughest of all MBA entrance exams. It is mainly because of decision making and General Knowledge sections that are extra in XAT. The difficulty level of even the common sections like Verbal and quantitative aptitude sections is also more in XAT compared to CAT. Not to forget the essay writing section which is a subjective component present in XAT but not in any other MBA entrance tests. For GK, read newspaper regularly and that is important from interview perspective as well. For decision making section nothing helps you more than a lot of practice as there is no hard and fast rules on how to do it well. Only a huge amount of practice helps you in gaining the structured thinking by taking aspects into consideration while taking a balanced decision and that's what is needed to crack that section.

It is not required. The format for both the exams is on the same lines. To get a better understanding on the format, you can refer the course curriculum as available on the respective institute's site.
