Bloomberg is rolling out a finance bloomberg assessment test. You can choose to have your score made available on the BB terminals. I think it is a pretty interesting concept. Villanova MSF students are taking it this Saturday. I might be taking it also. If I do take it I'll make sure to report back to everyone.

LOL yeah, the sample Q's were weak, but you need to realize that the test is not just for finance people. It has all different levels of questions and stuff. Either way I think it might be decent. It is free until 2011 and I think they are fine tunning the test.

Its an extremely large institution that is very well known, just have no idea what division this would be for. Still pretty amazing that this resulted in me possibly getting an interview

Great news. This is the intention of the assessment test. I am surprised that it is working so fast though. Hopefully as more and more companies sign on you will see more of this.

How did this test go for the
How did this test go for the Villanova MSFs? I took it earlier today and didn't feel too bad about it, but maybe I should.
I'm a senior undergrad at a
I'm a senior undergrad at a small public school in the Midwest, got an 86% and the results pdf says the median of 2,095 scores is 57% so far... others scored 84 and 81, I don't understand why sample at-large has so many low scores like 40% or lower, the test covered very basic material and didn't seem difficult
Got mine today, 85%. It does
Got mine today, 85%. It does seem odd that there is so much at the the bottom end, you would think guessing and knowing something would give better results than that. Nikhiln75 did you hear anything more about which division they were?
The reason was because there
The reason was because there is no limit to who can take the test. Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors can all take the test. At my school, unless you are a junior you can't take any of the real finance courses (corp finance valuaiton etc)...so a lot of sophomores went and took this test without taking a single finance course, so you could understand the low scoring. Also a lot of people just don't have extensive finance knowledge even if they have taken courses.
Its a credit risk analyst position for the summer, interview is on Friday
Congrats on the interview.
Congrats on the interview. Tell us how it went!
I agree about the low scores being reasonable. The test will be given at my university next month, and I expect several undergraduates to sign up for free. Some of which probably don't know a single answer to the practice questions given.
I also took the test at
I also took the test at Rutgers and landed an interview!
I think it is a fairly decent test that cover a broad swath of material. The economics was the most challenging for me because the material was not fresh in my head... i.e. Intermediate level Macro that I took first semester junior year...otherwise than that if you are a current finance major the rest of the test in general is not easy but if you put your mind and focus then you will do quite well.
The economics section took me the longest because I haven't taken an econ class in three semesters...I am double majoring in finance and econ.
Hope that helps!
I just got my score back
I just got my score back today. It breaks it down by percentage correct in each section. It also gives the median of everyone's score.
Finally it compares you to "peer" students, by year and major, giving you a ranked percentile in every section and overall!
As others have said, the test wasn't very hard. It had some difficult questions thrown in though. I attempted to study, but it didn't help at all.
Good luck to everyone!
Just got my score yesterday.
