Free DAA Work Rate practice
Work rate measures how quickly and accurately you can work through routine tasks. Our practice uses decoding with a key, substitution and matching strings against the clock. The real DAA work rate task is a different, code-based format (the Royal Navy says 20 questions in 4 minutes), so see the official familiarisation questions for the real layout.
