Before you start this easy quiz, here's a tip: North East (NE) is midway between N and E; South East (SE) is midway between S and E; South West (SW) is midway between S and W; North West (NW) is midway between N and W. These points are called intercardinal points and they are positioned at 45° to each of the cardinal points they are positioned between.
Finally, it would be a good idea if you drew a diagram of the compass rose to help you do these questions.
Take your time, think carefully and see if you can get full marks.
