How to prepare for P&G online assessments
Written and maintained by CKAutoFlow
Start with the assessment instructions in your invitation, learn the rules of the relevant tasks, then practise with feedback. This guide helps you choose a starting point and understand what our independent practice covers. It is a study plan, not a collection of actual P&G test questions.
The method at a glance
Check the tasks and instructions in your invitation, work through original samples, review mistakes and try unfamiliar questions. This site offers permutation, numerical, figure, data and basic sequence-memory practice, but no PEAK simulator or complete dual-task Grid simulation.
1. Check the assessment you have actually been invited to take
P&G lists assessments between application and interviews. The types vary by role; an invitation may include work-related attitudes and cognitive tasks. Read your own instructions for timing, device requirements and accessibility arrangements before deciding what to practise. An internship, graduate application and experienced role need not have identical assessments.
P&G encourages preparation but requires candidates to complete the actual assessment independently, without real-time assistance. Use practice and worked solutions before your assessment. The official hiring-process source is linked below.
2. Match each practice task to the skill you want to improve
- Switch-style permutation practice: our pipeline exercises teach position reordering, forward calculation and working backward through known rules.
- Digit-style numerical practice: our generated exercises use distinct digits in a × b + c. The numerical solver accepts additional supported expressions; this is not a full simulation of every numerical task.
- Sequence-memory practice: watch dots on a scattered-dot board and repeat their order. It trains sequence recall; it does not reproduce a Grid Challenge with intervening symmetry or rotation tasks.
- Figure series and data interpretation: supplementary reasoning practice, not a claim that these exact tasks appear in every P&G assessment.
- PEAK or work-style questions: this site has no PEAK simulator or answer key. Read the employer’s instructions and answer about your own experience and preferences.
3. Try an original example before adding time pressure
Permutation example: A B C D → C A D B
- Number the input positions: A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4.
- Read the output from left to right and find each symbol in the input.
- C is at position 3; A at 1; D at 4; B at 2. The rule is 3142.
- Check by taking input positions 3, 1, 4, 2. You get C A D B.
Numerical example: a × b + c = 23, distinct digits from 1–9
- Because c is between 1 and 9, a × b must be between 14 and 22.
- Try 3 × 6 = 18, so c = 23 − 18 = 5.
- 3, 6 and 5 are distinct permitted digits; 3 × 6 + 5 = 23.
- This is one valid assignment, not proof of a unique solution.
4. Use a short practice-and-review cycle
- Complete a sample without a timer and explain the rule in your own words.
- Review why you missed it: instruction reading, position direction, arithmetic or recall order.
- Repeat the method on a different question. Memorising the previous answer does not show you have learned the rule.
- Once your method is reliable, use an external timer and record accuracy as well as elapsed time. The current practice bank is not a calibrated timed mock exam.
- Before the real assessment, follow the invitation and official preparation instructions. No practice score here predicts a passing threshold.
5. Decide whether you need more practice
After a 24-hour full-feature trial from registration, each solver has 10 free uses per account and each practice type has 10 random new questions with explanations. Memory training has 10 lifetime free rounds, one credit per start. If you need unlimited unfamiliar questions and continued solving, see the current 7-day access option in the pricing link below. Buying access is optional and does not guarantee an assessment result.
Put the method into practice
After the 24-hour full-feature trial, get 10 random new questions per practice type (10 lifetime memory rounds) and use each solver 10 times for free, with no daily reset. Paid access unlocks new generated questions and continued solving with 7-day access.
