Junior Market Analyst interview with no VBA or SQL knowledge?

I passed the phone interview stage where i explained i have just started to study VBA and SQL but i guess they were impressed with my overall knowledge of current affairs and commodity, equity and forex markets because i got invited to a face to face interview. However, the downside is i will get tested on VBA and SQL. I know i will meet the founder of hedge fund and another few senior analysts and can talk a lot about financial markets but i will certainly fain any of those 2 tests.
I was looking for a qualified opinion whether i should still attend interview or forget about it?
