Can't you just draw it on a piece of paper, and work it out from that. It's not that hard!

Finally - To remember the sectors - Tiny 2 (70 degrees) & 1 + 2 = 3

Do you really think ATC are sitting there with a protractor on their radar screen complaining about which sector entry you did?

Nope, the Test Officer may see things differently though!

Yeah exactly, the only time anyone in 'authority' worries if you are a few degrees out on the entry type...

I doubt you'd fail a test for being a few degrees out. Twenty or thirty degrees out might contribute to a fail with other things going wrong too. More likely, someone inexperienced might be so stressed worrying about the hold that he (she?) does something seriously wrong and fails for that.

I like the left hand / right hand rule. Never seen that one.

I'm fairly sure I could hear them laughing at the entry/holding pattern I did the other day...
