Is Pioneer 4 a worthy mission even though it was a partial failure?

Try knowing the successful missions, since they had actually accomplished a goal.

I saw that the sample test was essentially matching images to descriptions. So at regionals and states, should I just use cheat sheets with mostly images?

Yeah I think you can have just images on the cheat sheet. However there may be questions in the tests that won't require any pictures at all, such as the Theia and Earth impact.

Does anybody know if we have to cover all of the craters or just all of anything on Venus? Thanks

You'll definitely want to know the properties of Venus, and some of the major craters and volcanoes, etc.

Based on prior solar system tests, do test proctors usually add a lot of information that isn't on the rules??

Because some of the prior test I have taken have asked about the sun.

I didn't know that proctors could add information not related to the rules. Was this Regionals?

no, it was at an invitational, that might be the reason

Help me! Every info I find is useless! Where can I find good info about surface features of different planets!!

I guess invitational can be little extra. I glad you found the answer to your question.
