As the arrow points out, questions # 8 and 10 are the kind of questions that you do not need to do it because it requires downloading and using data to solve the problem. You will need the GIS software if you’d like to try those questions. That is, you need to go to the computer lab in the library if you’d like to try them because only lab has the GIS software.
