Okay... need some help figuring out these questions on the gouge (maybe rule of thumb used and or source). Some I can figure out with some trig, but no calcs allowed during test.
You are on the XYZ VOR 090° radial at 20 DME. You are instructed to proceed direct to the XYZ VOR 180° radial at 70 DME. The direct, no wind heading is:
a) 185°
b) 190°
c) 195°
d) 200°
You are at airport A located at 33’20”N 108’02”W. You are flying to airport B located at 35’55”N 107’58”W. Approximately how many miles is it from airport A
to airport B?
a) 4
b) 120
c) 155
d) 200
You are on the XYZ 270 radial at 30 DME. You are cleared to fly the 30 DME arc to the 300 radial, and hold. You are flying at .6 Mach and it is 1800z. At what time will you arrive at the holding fix?
a) 1805z
b) 1810z
c) 1815z
d) 1820z
You are on the XYZ VOR 090 radial at 30 DME and you need to fly direct to the 190 radial at 60 DME. What is the no wind heading.
a. 180
b. 190
c. 210
d. 235
You are located at 34’20” N and 108’02 W and 38’50” N and 107’58” W. How many miles is it between coordinates
What causes the loud noise of a jet engine?
a. High speed of compressors
b. Fast moving air being ejected (Guessing it's this one but can't find source)
c. The hot gases mixing with the cooler atmosphere
d. Something Else
If there is another forum dedicated to this stuff, please point me in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated! Interviewing Tuesday and these are the last unanswered/non-sourced ques I have.

The real answer is "WTH unable dude, I don't like your attitude, over"
I respect anyone that can cipher like that on a stressful interview knowledge test.
I respect them even more if a week after the test they'll never be able to remember how to do that ever again.

Funny I went back and looked at my gouge and came up with 1802.5 as well. So has anyone recently had this question because it appears that the choices for a correct answer do not exist. I was thinking of a right triangle in relation to the degree of change so it through me off.
**A couple of the questions on my test included HW and TW. So when calculating you speed, make sure you take that in consideration**

I had that question on my test 2 months ago. All you need to know is that at 30dme, for every mile you will cross 2 radials. (60:1 rule). Check your Mach, convert to nm/min. The answers available are different than the gouge. The question and the answers are very clearly defined on the real test. No sweat.

30 questions you have seen before
15 questions are common sense. No sweat
15 questions.......crap shot.... Had no idea what the answer was ( it always came down to 2 options but I did not know which would be the "most correct"). Out of the last 15 I dont know how many I got it right.
Got the CJO. But all of us came out thinking we blew the interview on the test. Im my opnion this is the chance of a lifetime. We all got frustated because we knew that there were some questions that we missed, and there was a lot at stake.
You will miss a couple questions. Just keep studying what everyone has suggested and you will be fine.
Good luck.

I'm having trouble finding answers to some of the gouge...
1. Mach footprint is determined by what over the speed of sound?
2. Sonic footprint is determined by what ?
Are they the same thing? There is little to no info on google about this kind of thing. Should I even worry about these questions?

The answer is C.
