Re: Road Scholar B
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.

@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?

Re: Road Scholar B
I was at the nationals for road scholar, my partner is at a new school so I am answering this on my own... If memory serves right it was mostly road maps and a few topographic maps. I don't think there were any satellite maps. I may not have seen them because I did not have time to finish the whole thing, and my partner was doing a lot of the multiple choice questions while I was doing the topographic map profiling and stream gradient. I will try to contact my partner and get back to you.dxu46 wrote:@anyone who went to nats last year and did road

Is there a fun way to study for Road Scholar? I may or may not have been placed in the event and I'm not sure where to start studying.

Re: Road Scholar B
The best way I can assume would be a fun way to study, is to simply while you're out on the road try to follow yourself on a paper map. I understand this is very farfetched since you might get carsick while reading like I do or maybe just holding a large map, in particularly of your area, isn't the most common thing. However, this would be a good way to just simulate yourself and be able to read a map.seffnelsus wrote:Is there a fun way to study for Road Scholar?

Re: Road Scholar B
Study by doing tests. IIRC there's this one set that has explanations as it goes (I think it centers around the Engelwood CO quad?) and it has multiple lessons with practice problems under it. Looking out of the window is good, try to picture a map in your head and estimate how far you're traveling.OrigamiPlanet wrote:The best way I can assume would be a fun way to study, is to simply while you're out on the road try to follow yourself on a paper map.

Re: Road Scholar B
The Englewood CO quad is in the Coaches Handbook, which is really helpful in learning most of the concepts for Road Scholardxu46 wrote:Study by doing tests.

Re: Road Scholar B
A good way for finding objects is to play I Spy or come up with simple distance questions. Playing I Spy helped me especially last year as we were looking at a city map with mountains on the side, which made it difficult to read ad see things, but we made it through.seffnelsus wrote:Is there a fun way to study for Road Scholar?
