yeah, that 8% of the test takers did better than you.
in all seriousness, I have no idea, I just wanted to be snarky.
I was expecting a remark like that, but in all seriousness is the BAT highly regarded in the industry? Does it have any weight?
can you make me money with a BAT score? if not then gtfo
means nothing
For front office positions on Wall Street, it doesn't matter at all.
This.
Its definitely something worthy of putting on your resume!
Also who puts an actual picture of themselves on their WSO page? https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZiswM27HBqlpH7D6jAamuVp5TJqt9…
One of the main purposes of this website is to gain exposure/a job, no? Why wouldn't you use a real picture? What are the people on WSO going to do with it?
Quick google search showed that over 116,000 have taken the BAT, so 9,280 people have higher scores than you. There aren't 9,280 top entry level finnance jobs. You figure it out.
Of those 9,280, how many do you think are currently looking for a job? Not all of those people are in the job market. It definitely isn't a bad thing to be able to say that you scored in the 92nd percentile.
Look at it this way...how many people have taken the GMAT? Probably millions. To say you scored in the top 10% of all test takers might mean that there are hundreds of thousands of people who scored better than you. It is still noteworthy, is it not?
@mross2011 it's far better to remain anonymous on a site like this - having your pic and info on this website won't get you a job. Perhaps using the resume service it offers, or other products, will help - but not having your info publicly available.
BAT means nothing for FO jobs. As an example, I only have basic Bloomberg skills and was able to get IB experience at more than one bank and ended up FT at a so called top tier BB. I can guarantee that having a BAT score, even 99th percentile, wouldn't have made that any easier or helped at all.
@mross2011 and the GMAT and BAT are incomparable
