Coding Decoding

Coding Decoding - One of the most important and common chapters in all government job examination is coding and decoding. Since it is a highly scoring chapter, most candidates look for coding-decoding questions to practice. Coding decoding questions asked in banking exams are different from the ones asked in SSC examinations. While the coding-decoding question in banking examinations are creative and different, the questions asked in SSC are fixed in nature. Some coding-decoding tricks, as well as practice questions, are given in this article.

Types of coding-decoding questions

1. Letter to letter coding

2. Letter to number coding

3. Letter to symbol coding

4. Common word coding

5. Letter to number symbol coding, etc

How to prepare for coding-decoding questions?

• Read the question carefully and relate each coded letter.

• Once you understand the pattern, apply the same into word asked for the code.

• Try to learn the rank of each letter of the alphabet using EJOTY.

• In a letter to number coding, use their ranks to find the pattern.

• Practice each type of pattern to be comfortable with every type of question.

• Solve all the questions appeared in the previous examinations.
