What is the BAT?
The Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT) is a free aptitude exam that helps students discover their strengths across 8 key performance areas in business and finance and connect with employers looking to fill internship and full-time entry level positions.

After taking the BAT, student scores are anonymously entered into the Bloomberg Talent Search database, which is searched daily by over 20,000 Bloomberg clients. The BAT allows students of all majors and ages to compete on a level playing field for the most sought after career opportunities in the finance industry.
