I'm going to fail this test. It's so freaking hard!
But it's a comp... I did this last year (year 10), dont really like geography that much, ended up with a Distinction? I seriously thought I would've ended up with a participation lol... these comp's dont test how smart people are.. just how lucky you are on the day lol.. nah.. just general knowledge :p

I just did the test yesterday. Epic fail, bro. How am I supposed to know what warning signs are in area J2 or whatever when I can't see any freaking thing on the topographic map?!

Yeah, I know. I remember a question asking about orographic rainfall. I mean, what the hell is that, anyway?! (It's precipitation falling in mountainous regions by the way, quite common in Wales nears the Brecon Beacons)

Lol, this test is hard so like virtually everyone fails. Getting a HD is just a matter of the extent you fail.

The test has like nothing to do with anything in the sylabbus. I'ts like 5 questions on skills and the rest is pretty much world geo. Heh it's pretty easy, I did it every year and did quite ok. I've met some of the guys too.
