Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT) Strategy Report


BAT can be divided into two parts basically - Aptitude part & Finance Part.
  • Aptitude Part - Aptitude part is basically only around 20% of the entire test, but can be very tough for someone who has never practiced these types of questions. Generally, these questions are asked in GRE/GMAT exams & vary from Data interpretation, Reasoning & Analytical part. Practicing such questions for BAT is of great importance as this can directly impact your result & can make the difference between top group & average group of candidates.
  • Finance Part - Entire test's main focus is on the Finance part with questions coming from various domains. If you have prepared for CFA Level 1 which is very similar to BAT, then you are in a good position to tackle this section. Also, if you have already rich knowledge of Finance (a background of finance) then also you are in a good position to tackle this part, then entire focus shifts to the Aptitude part which turns into a make or break issue.
