What does a four-digit switch code mean?

Number the symbols in the current input row from left to right: 1, 2, 3, 4. A code tells you which input position to take next. For example, 2413 means take positions 2, 4, 1 and 3 in that order.

P&G's interactive guide describes selecting the branch that produces the required output. Connected branches apply sequentially: the first output becomes the second input.

A worked switch-code example

Apply one code

A B C D2413 ↓B D A C

The first output is B, which started in position 2. Then D comes from position 4, A from position 1 and C from position 3. Nothing about the symbols themselves changes.

Now add a second code

B D A C3142 ↓A B C D

The second code reads the new row B, D, A, C. Its third symbol is A, its first is B, its fourth is C and its second is D. Reading both codes against the original row would give the wrong result.

Practising the two-row Switch Challenge

Our advanced format has two rows of three code choices. Choose one code in each row and apply them from top to bottom. There is exactly one correct pair among the nine combinations in each generated question.

An uninterrupted correct run reaches this format on question 11 in our practice. Before that, fixed codes appear above, below or around a selectable row. A mistake returns to the preceding format family. The calibration notes explain what we observed and what these training tiers mean.

A useful order for checking the options

  1. Write the input positions mentally before following a code.
  2. Use the first required output symbol to eliminate impossible choices.
  3. Apply any fixed code at the correct point in the path.
  4. At two rows, keep each intermediate order separate. Do not mix the result of one option with the code from another path.
  5. Check all four final symbols before confirming.

Start untimed if you are still reversing codes. Add the timer once you can explain why a path is correct, not just recognise a familiar arrangement.

Common questions

Is this also called the P&G logic or switch test?

Yes. Candidates use Switch Challenge, switch test and logic test for this symbol-reordering format. Our guide and demo cover four-symbol code paths.

Does one wrong answer end the practice?

No. Full practice continues with an easier format after a wrong answer. Your session records the result.

Is question 11 an official pass mark?

No. It is where our error-free training run reaches the two-row format. It is neither a pass mark nor an official score.
