Questions # 1:

An ArcGIS user is analyzing a map containing several high quality data layers. The layers are defined in several different coordinate systems in the same data frame. However, due to the high quality of the data, all features line up with each other almost exactly.

When the user adds a new dataset all features appear to shift to the north by a nearly identical distance. The new dataset is assigned to a different coordinate system than any of the layers that line up correctly.

What are two possible reasons for the features shifting? (Choose two)

Options:

ArcMap's on-the-fly projection is introducing random error in the new dataset

The new dataset is assigned to the wrong projected coordinate system

The wrong geographic transformation is used to protect the new dataset

The new datasets geometry is more accurate than the other layers in the map

The map projection required to project the new dataset is outdated

Answer

A, B

Questions # 2:

The ArcGIS user works with a map document that contains a very detailed image that takes several seconds to draw when panning.

Which action can the ArcGIS user take that will improve the performance when panning in ArcMap?

Options:

put the image layer in a group laver

set the reference scale on the image layer

put the image laver in a basemap layer

make the image layer selectable

Answer

Questions # 3:

An organization manages multiple GIS projects and restricts data access to specific users. Which type of geodatabase should the organization use?

Options:

distributed geodatabase

versioned geodatabase

replica geodatabase

modular geodatabase

Answer

Questions # 4:

An ArcGIS user is exporting a feature class to an existing feature data set using the Export Data option from the layer context menu in ArcMap. The feature class coordinate system differs from the feature data set coordinate System.

What will be the coordinate system of the exported output?

Options:

the same as the source feature class

the same as the destination feature dataset

the same as the source input layer

the same as the source data frame

the same as the destination geodatabase

Answer

Questions # 5:

An ArcGIS user is creating a road, which will need to be snapped to the border of a land parcel. Which snapping option must be turned on?

Options:

Point snapping

End snapping

Vertex snapping

Edge snapping

Questions # 6:

Which two actions taken by an ArcGIS user result in conflicts being detected during a reconcile operation? (Choose two)

Options:

Changing the same feature in two separate versions of the geodatabase

Changing the same feature in the same version of the geodatabase in different edit sessions

deleting a feature in a child version of the geodatabase, but not in the parent version

deleting a feature in one edit session and altering it in another inside the same version of the geodatabase

changing a feature in a child version of the geodatabase and deleting it in the parent version

Answer

B, E

Questions # 7:

An ArcGIS user performed a spatial transformation to adjust a less accurate Dataset A to match with a more accurate Dataset B. The Spatial Transformation tool reported a low root mean square error (RMS).

What does this indicate?

Options:

The transformation between the control points is consistent

Too many control points were selected

The accuracy of Dataset A is high

The accuracy of the output transformed dataset is high

Answer

Questions # 8:

An ArcGIS user wants to display only values for the selected features in an attribute table in reverse alphabetical order (z to A) using the values CityName field.

Which method will give the desired results?

Options:

Right-click the CityName field, choose Sort Descending, click Show Selected Records

Right-click the CityName field, choose Sort Descending, click Summarize

Highlight the CityName field, from General Tabular Operations menu, choose Sort Descending: click switch Selection

Highlight the CutyName field, from General Tabular Operations menu, choose Sort Descending: choose Show Selection

Answer

Explanation

Before going any further I can tell you now that there are no “Sort” options of any kind on the General Tabular Operations Menu. Furthermore, there is no “Show Selection” option on that menu either.

1. Select the cities in Spain from the ESRI feature class as the example.

2. Open the attribute table and point out a few features germane to this question.

The cities selected by the query are in blue on the map. There are cities in the Mediterranean and Northern Africa that are part of Spain.

3. Now, let us see those options on the General Operations Menu. So I highlighted the CITY_NAME field; then opened the menu and voila. “Sort” and “Show Selection” are not on this menu.

4. Now I will right‐click on the CITY_NAME attribute and open a different menu. This is where the Sort options are located.

5. At this point the sequence of events is not important. You can sort first and then click the “Show Selected Records” or vice versa. Here is the result:

Questions # 9:

An ArcGIS user needs to provide a person outside the user's organization a layer file along with its data. How can this be accomplished in ArcGIS Desktop?

Options:

use the Export as XML Workspace Document tool in ArcCatalog

use the Save as Layer tool in ArcMap

use the Export as Layer tool in ArcCatalog

use the Create a Layer Package tool in ArcMap

Answer

Questions # 10:

An ArcGIS user is displaying a parcel feature class under a building feature class. The user wants to ensure that the exact outline of all features is visible.

What must the ArcGIS user do to allow both feature classes to be viewed at the same time?
