Road Scholar B

[ferociousbus493]

@anyone who went to nats last year and did road

What were the satellite map questions like? Did they closely follow the rules, and what were the actual maps like?

I dont think there were any satellite questions but ngl i have short term memory loss.... i remember it being a pretty standard test, kind of easy tho (dont know if i can say that)

Hello, sorry Dxu that I have not responded to your earlier question... I remember it basically like a normal Road Scholar test just maybe a little harder in some situations.

i feel like the map drawing was kinda tricky, incorporated azimuths, bearings, and things other than just symbols.

That's a normal map drawing (or at least in my state and region), don't worry.

I went to nats last year, they barely mentioned satellite maps but its definitely good to know it though.

RIP, now we have to bring colored pencils/markers for the Map Drawing, and we can bring a box of materials. Also, we can't have calculators that are graphing or programmable.

wait are they saying we have to COLOR OUR MAPS NOW NOO istg my partner and me last year barely had any time to finish the tests and map drawing in almost every test...welp. also i'm competing and boyceville and i'm super stressed but anyway

my team has always brought colored pencils for map drawings? for the features or roads

It wasn't required before.

Hey I need help I don't think the USGS topographic may symbols don't include everything like the airport symbols and etc. Can someone help me get a better link or send me a file please thank you

I feel like they include all ambiguous symbols; symbols such as airport symbols are basically just mini planes, common sense. Also, sometimes maps have inclusive legends in the bottom, more commonly in highway maps than topo maps.
