#23 “Draw a shape that is square and then divide it in half by drawing a line from the northeast corner to the southeast corner and then divide it again by drawing another line from the western to the eastern edge.” Huh? Are we talking about IMAGINARY compass points, or does your answer depend upon your actual location in a room?

Its northeast to southwest. Just like the compass points are on a map. Northeast would be the top, right corner of a square.

Oh, that’s easy.

The guy who is grading the test takes a compass out of his pocket, then marks magnetic north on the test sheet. From there he marks NE, SW, W and E on the test sheet and if your lines match his compass points, you get the question correct.
