Hey,

I would suggest you to go for TIME coaching material for both CAT and XAT if you don't want to wander around for different material. Stick to one material that woukd be enough for to crack the exam. You can also go for Arun Sharma's Quant books and also his logical reasoning books. Their LOD are more than enough for you. Apart from that read editorial everyday for better reading skills which will help you to better your RCs.

Ask if you need more help.
