Study tips: the more you practice map work the better you will get at it. Do as many
as possible old exam papers. This section did not change much from the previous
syllabus and thus you can still work out the previous old paper for practice.
The map work papers consist of 4 different parts namely
1. Multiple choice questions – 15 x 1 = 15 marks
2. Calculations - 20 marks
3. Interpretations of theory on the map – 25 marks
4. GIS – 15 marks
You need to know the conventional symbols of by heart. You must be able to
identify them and understand the relationship between the occurrence of groups of
these symbols. These symbols are like the alphabet to read maps.
The symbols represent real world features as either points, lines or polygons (areas).
Therefore the legend / key can be seen as the layers of a GIS showing vector data.
