Rawls College and the Finance Department will be hosting the first Bloomberg Aptitude Test sessions of the semester on October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th!
Texas Tech University, ensuring the best education and job opportunities to its students, has partnered with Bloomberg to offer the Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT) FREE of charge on campus this semester!
The BAT is a two hour, online exam that anonymously evaluates your ability to apply knowledge to solve practical problems and to market yourself to the best financial companies around the world. Taking this opportunity now will enable you to identify your professional strengths and weakness compared to your global peers.
Bloomberg BRIEFS
As an added benefit, we are providing all BAT test-takers who complete the test a complimentary six month subscription to Bloomberg Briefs, Bloomberg's premium newsletter offering (valued at $2,000 to the tens of thousands of hedge fund and Portfolio Manager managers and banker subscribers). In order for you to appreciate this great benefit, just be sure to take the BAT. Briefs will help you, as a student, to sound smarter in interviews. So the sooner you take advantage of this, the better!
The pack includes the daily Economics Brief and Mergers brief along with the weekly Private Equity and Hedge Fund Briefs. We hope that it helps you with your job search and first round interviews.
Connect with Alumni
In addition, we will be messaging all Texas Tech Alumni that are Bloomberg users notifying them of your university's recent session and the anonymous profiles now available in the database. This will put your candidacy directly in front of key decision makers at elite firms in the finance world during this crucial time in recruiting season.
Location - ATLC in Library
October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at 1 PM
