The RSM Business Admissions Test (BAT) is a 2.5-hour online assessment designed to evaluate academic aptitude and leadership potential. It consists of two modules: a 2-hour Academic Aptitude module, covering communication analysis, critical thinking, data analysis, and data interpretation (each section lasting 30 minutes), and a 30-minute Leadership Evaluation module. The test does not require extensive preparation. More information about the modules and technical requirements can be found here.
