Assuming that your mentioned 90% is 90%ile.......

see the level of competition and the difficulty level of questions will not be the same. So obviously no one can tell you any concrete answer for this.

However looking at previous years it may be concluded that since the difficulty level is on a higher side and XAT follows differential marking scheme, the no of attempts should be well balanced. To give more clearer picture if you are attempting 15 questions in each section with almost 80% accuracy and this will suffice your requirement. But my take ll be the no of attempts should not be predecided as accuracy rate differs among individuals.

Coming to your quant problem.... The quant section of XAT is usually clubbed with DI so whoever is weak in quant can compensate the same in DI.Again my personal suggestion will be that although difficulty level is on higher side you may definitely find few simple questions , its just you have to figure them out.
Again you must be good in some areas ..let it be Geometry, Algebra, P&c;/Probability or any other. Try to hit the questions in your favourite area then look for DI sets.
Once you have made decent no of attempts to clear sectional cut off try to maximise your score in other sections.

Hope it helps

So the D-day for all the XIMB aspirants has come. What else can a New year give to any aspirant. The new year is opening its door for the Prestigious institute - "XIMB" - getting into it is like a dream come true for all the aspirants.
Give you best 120 minutes to XAT tomorrow, so that we can come up with flying colours and we can also join the elite class of the country.

If you have fear in your mind about XAT ,then dont worry because you are not alone, every one has. So the competition becomes same for everyone.And if you dont have then nothing can be better than that.

Dont panic if the question paper is some what difficult and different than the expected one. Give time for screening the questions. There will always be some questions in each section which we can say are sitters. Remember we have to do well in all the three sections so dont miss out any section because once it is gone then we are left with nothing, but to regret.

So relax and tell XIMB that you deserve to be a part of this institute.

All the best to everyone
