Unlike the Memory section, the Coding section allows you to refer to the coding guide while answering.
Route C covers 1–99 and 300–399 Center Blvd. What code does '350 Center Blvd' receive?
Answer: C
350 Center Blvd falls within the 300–399 range of Route C.
If the coding guide lists Route A as covering 1–500 on all streets, what code does '275 Birch Rd' get?
Answer: A
275 Birch Rd falls within 1–500, matching Route A's universal range.
An address of '600 Pine St' appears but the coding guide's highest range for Pine St is 100–599. What code applies?
Answer: D
600 Pine St is outside all defined route ranges, so it is assigned code D.
The coding guide shows Route B covers 400–600 Sunset Dr (odd only). What code does '500 Sunset Dr' receive?
Answer: D
500 is even, and Route B specifies odd numbers only, so 500 Sunset Dr receives code D.
Which strategy speeds up coding without losing accuracy?
Answer: Scan the street name first, then confirm the number falls in range
Identifying the street name eliminates mismatched routes quickly, then a number check confirms the assignment.
