Test Comparison:

The varied subjects and parts are one of the primary variances between the CAT and XAT syllabuses. The CAT test does not feature a Decision Making component or a General Knowledge section, however the XAT exam does. Another significant distinction is the difficulty level of the XAT vs. CAT exams. The XAT test is believed to be a little more tough than the CAT exam.
