The Bloomberg
Aptitude Test (BAT)
is an aptitude test owned, published, and developed by Bloomberg Institute - an
educational division of Bloomberg
LP. It is used by employers in the business world to evaluate employment
candidates. The exam tests individuals on their ability to think
critically on financial topics and the results are used to measure their level
of readiness for a career in business related fields.
The exam is
administered in 58 countries on university campuses and reaches out to
employers on a global scale. It was first introduced as the Bloomberg Assessment Test, then
changed into the Bloomberg
Aptitude Test in 2013 as to reflect its ability in measuring innate
financial potential and career skills rather than technical know-how and
learned knowledge.
If anyone at Marquette University is interested in taking
the Bloomberg Aptitude Test, there are four more spots open for the test
session being held on Saturday, October 17th from 11-1 pm. If you are
interested in a career in financial services you should consider taking this
test, because it helps students measure their strengths, through the
comprehensive score report, connect to employers, and lastly it is a strong
resume builder for students if they score well. This test only costs two hours
of a student’s time, as it is free to take the test on Marquette's campus and
requires no preparation in advance.
