P&G Online Assessment Test: Full Guide and Practice Questions [2024]

The P&G Assessment Test is a challenging series of cognitive and behavioral tests used to select suitable candidates for a variety of leading positions. It includes three interactive gamified tests - the Switch Challenge, Grid Challenge, Digit Challenge, and the Procter and Gamble PEAK Performance Assessment. 

The Procter and Gamble Online Assessment uses multiple aptitude tests in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the candidate's abilities, measuring cognitive abilities such as numerical reasoning, spatial orientation, memory, and more. It also includes the PEAK situational judgement test, to measure the candidate's behavioral characteristics. 

Some of the aptitude tests are adaptive, meaning that the difficulty of the questions changes based on whether you got the question right or wrong - becoming harder after a correct answer, and easier after a mistake.

Another unique characteristic of the P&G assessment test is that it is gamified, meaning each question you answer appears as a game or puzzle. Don't be fooled though - the fact that it's gamified doesn't mean that the questions are easy, far from it.

Check out our P&G assessment test video to hear more about the test, and to go over sample questions for each section of the test including the switch challenge test.  

Below you will find interactive, free practice questions for the P&G Assessment Test, including the Switch Challenge Test, the Digit Challenge, the Grid Challenge and the PEAK assessment test.

The Switch Challenge Test (also known as the AON Deductive-Logical Reasoning Test) measures your ability to identify patterns and deduce rules from them. In each task, there are four symbols that change position according to a specific rule.

Your job is to choose the correct operator (those number sequences you see in the image below) that changed the order of the symbols according to that rule. You will have five minutes to answer as many questions as possible.

With a tight time limit and increasingly difficult questions, you will need to practice to get a good score on this section of the P&G Assessment Test. A LOT.

One of the best ways to improve your Switch Challenge Test skills is to practice different levels with the same time limit as the actual test.

This section of the P&G Assessment Test examines your ability to perform numerical calculations quickly and accurately - you have five minutes to answer as many questions correctly as you can. 

You will be given an equation with missing numbers, and your task will be to find a combination of digits to replace the empty spaces and make the equation correct.

Take a look at this P&G Digit Challenge sample question:

Take notice of the order of operations, or BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction). You should start with multiplication by thinking about the numbers that will best advance you toward the predefined result. The quotient of the first two digits must be lower than 27, because you need to be able to add two digits later.

For instance, if you choose 4 and 5, you’ll get 4*5=20.

Then, you’ll need to find the other digits that’ll get you to 27. That is, two digits with a sum of 7 (the difference between 27 and 20).

Note: you can’t use the previously used digits (in our case, 4 and 5).

Therefore, A possible correct answer is (4*5)+6+1.

Of course, there are other combinations of digits that will get you the correct result, and as long as you answer correctly, there is no difference between them. 

Keep in mind that in the most difficult levels, you may get a calculation of more than 500, for example (_ * _ * _ ) - 2 = 502 (the answer is "7", "8", "9").

You are allowed to use a calculator in the P&G Digit Challenge. In fact, an important step in preparing for this section of the P&G online assessment is to remind yourself how to use the basic functions of the calculator quickly and accurately. 

In our P&G Assessment PrepPack, you will find more tips and hacks to help you solve the more complicated questions, as well as unlimited Digit Challenge questions with a time limit - just like the real thing.

The P&G Grid Challenge is a unique and complex spatial reasoning test that measures your short-term memory, cognitive ability, and spatial orientation skills. 

In this challenge you are presented with a series of alternating spatial and memory tasks. At first you are presented with a grid, or a map of dots. One of the dots will light up, and you will need to memorize its position. 

In the next step of the grid challenge, you will need to answer a spatial orientation question in which you compare two patterns. You then continue memorizing locations on the grid and answering spatial orientation questions, until finally you must identify the locations of each of the dots on the grid.

The difficulty rises with every round of memorization that's added, and the number of memorization sections in the grid challenge can range from two to five (the same is true for the number of spatial orientation questions).

The P&G PEAK Performance Assessment is a combination of a Situational Judgement Test (SJT) and P&G personality test that helps employers understand your compatibility with Procter and Gamble and your prospective position. While it's not timed, P&G candidates generally need about 20 minutes to finish the PEAK performance test.

In the P&G PEAK Performance Assessment there are two main types of questions:

• Multiple choice questions with four options, typically used for the situational judgement test. In these questions of the PEAK performance test, you will be presented with a scenario you might encounter working for P&G, and four options on how to proceed.
• Rating questions with five options, typically used for the P&G personality test questions. In these questions you will need to select which option best describes you, based on various statements regarding aspects of your life. 

Let’s solve a situational judgement test multiple choice PEAK Performance Assessment question from our Procter and Gamble Assessment PrepPack:

• Make sure to have a distraction-free environment available for at least 20 minutes to answer the PEAK Performance Assessment in.
• You must answer all the questions in the PEAK Performance Assessment - you won't be able to submit your answers otherwise. 
• Contrary to popular belief, there are right and wrong answers in the SJT and personality test. Preparing for them in advance can greatly improve your chances of passing. 
• While taking the P&G PEAK Performance Assessment, it is essential to consider the P&G PEAK Performance Factors, which are defined by P&G's integrity-driven PVP (Purpose, Core Values, and Principles).

The P&G Assessment Test is unlike any other pre-employment test you've seen. Here are some unique characteristics of the P&G candidate assessment:

• The Test Is Adaptive. The better you are, the harder it gets. That means it is super important to ace the first questions of every reasoning test you’re taking - once you get a question wrong, you are demoted to less difficult questions.
• Tight Time Limit. You need to answer correctly and fast. The Switch Challenge Test and Digit Challenge are limited to 5 minutes, during which you’ll be required to answer as many questions as you can.
• Unique Question Types – These questions do not resemble anything you’ve encountered in high school, college, or even other psychometric tests. The solving techniques are different and you need to know how to approach every question of the P&G candidate assessment correctly.

The P&G online test isn't easy, nor is it meant to be. The time pressure, increasingly complex questions, and the natural anxiousness you feel during assessment tests can lead to wrong answers. We've compiled a few useful tips to make the P&G assessment test a little easier:

• Similar to other multiple choice tests, if you're not sure of the correct answer, elimination can be helpful in the P&G PEAK performance assessment. 
• Make sure you memorize the multiplication table perfectly - it will help you save time by reducing your need for using a calculator. 
• Practice! Yes, practice is vital for any assessment test, but the unique nature of the P&G assessment test means that without accurate practice that introduces you to the four types of questions, you are depriving yourself of a serious leg up. Have a look at some more Procter and Gamble assessment practice questions here!
• Learn to work fast - having enough time to reach the higher level of the challenges requires excellent time management. There's no magic solution for this, only hard work with accurate prep materials.
