Yep. Found the same thing. You obviously can't bring your own maps to the exam but need to use the one from the school. This one was a laminated one that had been folded so often that the creases wouldn't come out anymore. I had to plot a 100-nm leg or something like that across multiple creases. It was a bitch just to draw that straight line. Never mind the fact that I couldn't even get the map on that tiny table (so had to use the slightly-less tiny floor - this was a tiny two-person debriefing cubicle. I think at some point I even threw the chairs out of the room into the hallway to make sufficient room.)

Careful measuring, multiple times, gave me a heading of 81 degrees. While the possible answers were 80 and 82. Apparently I guessed the right answer, 'cause I passed.
