DAA Work Rate Practice Test

The Defence Aptitude Assessment (DAA) is an essential part of the joining process, with the tests that form it being recognised as strong indicators for in-role performance at all ranks, and across all Branches and Services of the Royal Navy.

In order to give you the best chance of passing the full DAA, these example questions are your opportunity to practise:

- You should always try and achieve the highest mark in each section
- Getting more familiar and comfortable with the format and process will also help you perform to your best
- We recommend you practise at least a couple of times, but more if possible
- But also make sure you take time out between your practises - allowing your fingers, eyes and mind to get some rest

WORK RATE

This section tests your ability to quickly and accurately work through routine tasks.
You will have to complete a coding exercise, like the one below.
In each question you will be shown a grid like this:

 

 

In each column there is a letter, a number and a symbol.
For example, the first column in the grid above contains:

 The letter R
   The number 7
   The symbol ●

In each question you will be given an original code made up of three letters or three numbers.
Each letter or number is taken from a separate column in the grid.

For every item in a code, there are two alternative items in the same column.
For example, for the code RDS, using the grid above:

   The alternatives to R are 7 and ●
   The alternatives to D are 6 and ▼
   The alternatives to S are 2 and ■

In each question you will be given five alternative codes labelled A–E.
You have to decide which one of these alternative codes contains items taken from the same columns,
and in the same order, as the original code.

For example, given the grid above, which of the following could be an alternative code for RDS:

 

 

The correct answer is C because:
   R is in the same column as the symbol ●
   D is in the same column as the number 6
   S is in the same column as the number 2

 

 

The section is made up of four questions.
The target time to answer them is 50 seconds.

The clock will start counting down when you begin.

The timer has now finished but you can continue to answer the questions. In the real test, you will not be able to continue. Please submit your test to see your mark.
