🔍 Key Concepts

• 32-point compass card and how each point relates to degrees • Relation between cardinal, intercardinal, and secondary intercardinal points (e.g., N, NE, NNE) • How many degrees per point on the traditional compass card


💭 Think About

• First, convert the idea of 360° around the compass into equal segments for 32 points. How many degrees is one point worth? • Identify where North (000°) and East (090°) are, then determine how far NNE is from North in terms of number of points. • Count the number of points between North and NNE, multiply by degrees per point, and compare with the choices.


✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the degrees per point on a 32-point compass card before doing any multiplication. • Make sure you count points in the correct order: N, N by E, NNE, NE by N, NE, etc. • Confirm that your final degree value is exactly one of the options listed before choosing.
