example score

7/NaN

Topographic Map Knowledge (TMK)

Measures how well you interpret topographic map conventions and apply them to terrain, distance, slope, and feature-location reasoning.

Foundations to build

Developing reader

Strong map knowledge

0 – NaN: Foundations to build | 7 – NaN: Developing reader | 13 – NaN: Strong map knowledge

A score of 7 places you in the Developing reader range, indicating you understand many conventions and can solve several terrain scenarios with room to strengthen less familiar applications.
