Should I bother with the numerical and verbal reasoning test?

Deutsche Bank asked me to complete a numerical and verbal test recently but from my knowledge they DO NOT screen CVs until AFTER the tests. This would be fine in normal cases but the problem is that I have a 2.7 CGPA. My concern is that Deutsche bank would simply screen out my application even if I did well in the tests given my CGPA.

Any thoughts?

 

so let me get this straight. you've been asked to do the tests so that they can sceen your application; if you don't take the tests they will not look at you. so to get a shot, you have to do the tests. but you're affraid that if you do the tests they'll see you and then reject you rather than never look at your application?

do the fucking tests.
