    It’s a comprehensive map-labeling test. Basically, you’re given a blank outline map and you have to correctly identify, locate, and name every mandatory geographical feature — all the major rivers, mountains, seas, countries, and capitals. It’s pure world-map memorization. By the way, where are you from? Just curious if you guys have similar map tests there😁
