It really depends. Prepare everything 50-50 to be safe.

I had a very interesting Road Scholar test at state. We took first overall, so I can now say I'm an expert at Road Scholar. ;)

It was only topo, highway, and build-a-map, which made it very easy. No profiling or UTM. Also, no story, which always makes it easier. The questions were simple, and very self-explanatory, and I think we might have actually gotten first with a good score this time. The questions were also spread out fairly evenly, 10 highway and 15 topo. Don't expect tests to be this simple at your states.

how is it possible you had only ten highway questions? At our state last year, we had about 50 questions for the highway maps.

A lot of the quizzes were short this year. (Very nice for getting to events on time). I don't do highway, but I was just as surprised as you are. It's all up to the test-makers
