It's the Ladera Vista test.
I've actually seen this test reused at an invitational this year.

Isn't that the test that doesn't require any maps?

The maps are on the document.

Yeah, this is a really bad test that doesn't test on most of the topics on the rules. You should only do this test if you've taken all the tests you have and have nothing else to do. Sorry to the test writers, but it really isn't a well-written test.

Yeah it's simple, but it's the only one I could find online that had the maps on it. All of the other ones required you find the maps yourself, which sometimes could get exceedingly difficult.

Is an Azimuth an object or a degree? Also what could we use the string for in our binder? We've never seemed to be using it.

An azimuth is the direction of a compass bearing. For example, 0° is straight up, 90° is directly to the right, and 180° is straight down.
The string can be used to measure distance by laying it out across the map, then comparing it to a ruler and determining mileage.

Then why does DXU46 contiousouly say you should have an azimuth in your binder?

Uhhhh...azimuth or protractor. Without it, how would you do azimuth/bearing problems?

EDIT: Oh I see what you mean, an azimuth is both an object and degree. The object is a circular protractor, and the degree was explained above.

We know what it is we were just clarifying since we only thought it was a degree. Thank you.
