Two attempts, best score: the retake rule shapes the December calendar.
The rule
- Candidates may appear in up to two of the three December-January sessions.
- Higher score counts automatically; no averaging, no penalty for a weak first attempt.
How to use it
- Book first and third sessions: a two-week gap allows correction from the first scorecard experience.
- Treat attempt one as a live mock: note section order mistakes, timing overruns, fatigue points.
Calendar interplay
- Session one sits close to CAT results season; keep XAT January prep running through — the bases overlap.
Revise in 30 seconds
- Up to two of three sessions.
- Higher score counts.
- Space attempts two weeks.
- Attempt one is a calibration mock.
