Question 1

Which coordinate system is appropriate for storing a worldwide scale dataset using measures of latitude and longitude, while also allowing for the data to be easily projected for editing and analysis at a local level?

A. Universal Transverse Mercator

B. Projected

C. Geocentric

D. Geographic

Correct Answer: A

Question 2

Which limit is set for file geodatabase name length for ArcGIS Desktop?

A. limited to 255 characters

B. limited to the number of characters the operating system allows in a folder name

C. no limit

D. limited to 32 characters

Correct Answer: A

Question 3

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)

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

B. The wrong geographic transformation is used to protect the new dataset

C. The map projection required to project the new dataset is outdated

D. The new dataset is assigned to the wrong projected coordinate system

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

Correct Answer: D

Question 4

A data frame in ArcMap is displaying layers from several different coordinate systems in a worldwide geographic coordinate system. There are several geographic coordinate system transformations listed in the Geographic Coordinate Systems Transformations dialog box. One of the transformations being used is inappropriate and must be changed.
How can the ArcGIS user change the transformation?

A. select Transformations from the main menu in ArcMap and change the transformation for the map document

B. open the Layer Properties dialog box for each layer using the transformation and change the transformation for the layer

C. open the Data Frame Properties dialog box and change the transformation for the data frame

D. for each data source using the transformation change the transformation in the Catalog window and then reload the

Question 5

An ArcGIS user is editing a feature class containing parcel data. One of the fields within the table stores the zoning information for each parcel using a coded value domain.
How does the user enter this data into the Attributes window to update the zoning information for a parcel?

A. select the zoning code from a drop-down list

B. select the zoning description from a drop-down list

C. type in the zoning description

D. type in the zoning code

Correct Answer: D

Question 6

An ArcGIS user is tasked with modeling water distribution for a city. Currently, the user has shapefiles for water junctions, water pipelines, and water mains.
How should the user proceed?

A. import the shapefiles into a feature dataset and create a geometric network

B. create a geometric network from the shapefiles

C. create a network dataset from the shapefiles

D. import the shapefiles into a feature dataset and create a network data set

Correct Answer: B

Question 7

An ArcGIS user creates a model that includes the Clip tool and wants the x.y tolerance set as 500 feet in the environment setting.
What is the minimum environment setting level to override the default settings?

A. program-level settings

B. application-level settings

C. model-level settings

D. tool-level settings

Question 8

A client is building a new home and wants to position the home near a lake and a school.
Which combination of analysis tools will create a polygon representing a potential area for building the home?

A. Spatial Join then Union

B. Intersect then Buffer

C. Union then Spatial Join

D. Buffer then Intersect

Correct Answer: D

Question 9

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

A. versioned geodatabase

B. replica geodatabase

C. distributed geodatabase

D. modular geodatabase

Correct Answer: A

Question 10

Which two actions can be taken to repair an.mxd file with broken data sources in ArcMap? (Choose two)

A. use the Repair Data Sources geoprocessing tool

B. use the Set Data Source option from Layer Properties

C. repair the layer sources in the Map Document Properties

D. right click the layer(s) in the Table of Contents and select Repair Data Source
