If the degree of turn is missing by 1 to 44 degrees, what is the VP/SR impact?

• A. 0.15 - 0.20; Do not award VP/SR
• B. 0.05 - 0.10; Award VP/SR
• C. Up to 0.10 for lack of precision (Degree of turn not exact); Award lower VP or no VP
• D. 0.25 - 0.30; Severe deduction

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how a small lack of precision in the degree of turn affects the value part and the special requirement. When the degree of turn is missing by 1 to 44 degrees, you still credit the value part and the SR, but you apply a minor deduction for that imprecision. The best match is a small 0.05 to 0.10 point impact, with VP/SR awarded. This reflects that the turn was performed and the element meets its requirements, but the exact degree measurement wasn’t precise enough, so a light penalty is appropriate.

The other possibilities would either apply a larger deduction or drop VP/SR entirely for a relatively minor accuracy error, which isn’t consistent with how small precision gaps are treated. A heavy deduction or no VP/SR wouldn’t fit a 1–44 degree deviation, and stating no VP would misrepresent the credit given for the element.
