Work Rate
Match the columns, fast and accurately
The DAA's work-rate section — a fast letters, numbers and pictures coding grid. You're shown a short code and pick the option that repeats it using the same grid columns in the same order, swapped for their number or picture. Every item is easy; the challenge is keeping speed and accuracy up against the clock.

What to expect
- A 3-row grid: letters/words on top, numbers in the middle, pictures at the bottom — four columns, so each column has all three.
- A code of three items (letters or numbers), each taken from a separate column.
- Five answer options (A–E) — pick the one using the same columns, in the same order, swapped for their number or picture.
What it measures
- Sustained speed on a simple matching task
- Accuracy when you're working quickly
- Tracking items to the right column and order
- Concentration under time pressure
Instructions
- 1For each code item, find which column it is in.
- 2The correct answer uses items from those same columns, in the same order.
- 3An item can be swapped for any of its column's alternatives — its number or its picture.
- 4Reject options that use an item from the wrong column, or the right columns in the wrong order.
Tips
- Read the code column-by-column, not left-to-right on the answers.
- Watch the order — the right items in the wrong order is the most common trap.
- Keep a steady rhythm; accuracy matters as much as speed.
