Deutsche Bank spring week online assessment 2027

Provider: SHL

Which programme are you applying to?

Deutsche Bank is reported to change the test by programme. Pick yours and the drills above change to match; the rest of the page is the firm as a whole.

What they send: Widely reported to lean on the situational judgement test rather than the ability tests.

Why this programme differs: Deutsche Bank changes the mix by programme and year, and the spring week is widely reported to turn on the SJT. Start there and keep the ability drills as a safety net.

Providers change between cycles and firms rarely publish their tests, so everything here is what candidates report and what the provider documents, in that order of trust. Treat it as where to start, not a promise.

What the test is like

Deutsche Bank and Jefferies online assessments

Built by SHL

Format
SHL ability tests (numerical, verbal and inductive or deductive reasoning) with a behavioural questionnaire, and at Deutsche Bank a situational judgement test that candidates report as the deciding stage for spring weeks.
Timing
SHL Verify numerical is reported at 10 questions in 18 minutes in its interactive form, inductive at up to 15 in 18 minutes, verbal at 30 in 19 minutes with true, false or cannot say answers. Neither firm publishes which tests a given programme gets or the marking.
What is uncertain
Both firms change the mix by programme and year, and Deutsche Bank's spring week is widely reported to lean on the situational judgement test rather than the ability tests. The verbal test is not reproduced here.
How to practise
Numerical Reasoning, Figure Series and Situational Strengths cover three of the four parts. Logical Statements is the nearest thing to the deductive items.
Situational Strengths
