- HSC Exam
Make sure that you bring:
- 360 degree protractor - this will be easier to use than a 180 degree protractor.
- a couple of coloured pencils - in case you have to do any mapping. Coloured pencils will enable you to do maps much more quickly than having to device patterns to show difference between different items.
- ruler
- string for measuring distance
- eraser
- Board allowed calculator (you should already have one of these for your maths exam)
magnifying glass - not absolutely necessary, but might come in handy if you have to try to see very small symbols on a topographic map, or to see more detail on photographs.
Skills from previous years are also assessable. Make sure that you also revise these skills. They are assumed knowledge. A quick overview of some of the junior topographic skills is found below.
