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.Anapolis wrote: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)dxu46 wrote:@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 feel like the map drawing was kinda tricky, incorporated azimuths, bearings, and things other than just symbols.ferociousbus493 wrote:Hello, sorry Dxu that I have not responded to your earlier question...

Re: Road Scholar B
That's a normal map drawing (or at least in my state and region), don't worry.Anapolis wrote:i feel like the map drawing was kinda tricky, incorporated azimuths, bearings, and things other than just symbols.ferociousbus493 wrote:Hello, sorry Dxu that I have not responded to your earlier question...

Re: Road Scholar B
I went to nats last year, they barely mentioned satellite maps but its definitely good to know it though.Anapolis wrote:i feel like the map drawing was kinda tricky, incorporated azimuths, bearings, and things other than just symbols.ferociousbus493 wrote:Hello, sorry Dxu that I have not responded to your earlier question...

Re: Road Scholar B
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.JohnSkyChung wrote: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
