ArcGIS Pro Associate 2025 Questions and Answers
A GIS specialist is creating a spatial map series for features that vary greatly in size.
Which scale bar Fitting Strategy will enable logical scale units specification and relative width among the varying maps?
A GIS analyst has various datasets, maps, database connections, and toolboxes. The analyst plans on sharing this to their ArcGIS Online organization for easy access by coworkers.
Which package should be shared to the analyst's ArcGIS Online organization to facilitate collaboration by a coworker?
A GIS specialist works for an electric company that is planning tree maintenance along power lines. The specialist wants to associate tree features with a geometry of "Point" and the power lines feature class in the utility network dataset with a geometry of "Polyline Z." All trees, regardless of height, should be joined if they are in the specified vicinity of the power lines.
A GIS analyst is reviewing the work of an intern and realizes that the intern added feature attribute information directly to the attribute table. Many of the features have no geometry and do not display on the map. The analyst uses Check Geometry to identify all features with null geometries.
Which method should the analyst use to allow adding the geometry to existing features so that they can be visualized in the map?
A GIS analyst receives a dataset of precipitation change over the past five years, by country, for the entire world. The analyst is creating a map that will display this information. A requirement of the map is to preserve the area of each country.
Which projection should be used?
A GIS analyst has a countrywide parcel dataset and needs to determine the property owners for the northern region of the country. The analyst wants to find owners whose last name contains Jon.
Which query should the analyst use?
A GIS analyst is working with a dataset that contains state information for the entire country of the United States. The analyst needs to run analysis and create maps for only the State of Idaho. The analyst does not want to manage multiple datasets.
Which method should the analyst use?
A GIS intern is digitizing water body features within a state park using Esri's Imagery basemap for reference. While creating a lake feature, the intern realizes that they mistook a large portion of the lakefront as part of the lake.
Which editing tool should the intern use to modify the lake feature?
A GIS specialist is publishing a layer to their portal for use by field crews. These crews will not always have internet connection. They need to edit existing features based on inspections, but they should not be able to delete features.
How should the layer be configured to support the field crews?
A GIS analyst is assigned to update an existing roads feature class (line features) with new features and information obtained from a third-party agency. However, the column names in the new feature class and the old feature class do not match.
Which geoprocessing tool should the analyst use to update the old feature class by correctly matching the columns?
A cartographer is creating a 3D scene of campgrounds in a national park. The facilities on the campground have been symbolized using simple 2D point symbols. The cartographer needs to apply a realistic 3D symbology to the facilities features without using a rule package.
Which action should the cartographer take to symbolize the campground facilities?
A GIS analyst is working with LAS data with 17 million points on the map. The points are too big and cover the underlying areas completely. The analyst needs to change the dimensions of the points.
Which action should the analyst take to meet this requirement?
Which tool should be used to set the coordinate system of a raster dataset that is currently unknown?
A GIS analyst has a standalone table that includes the change in population by county and a layer of counties.
Which method should the GIS analyst use to visualize the change using symbology?
A GIS analyst is trying to buffer single point features one at a time within a feature class by interactively selecting it in a map before buffering. Multiple points are being selected, although one row in the attribute table is highlighted. The analyst does not want to modify the original data.
Which tool should be used to solve this issue?
A GIS technician has two feature classes: Sites and Buildings. The technician needs to assign the building name to the site if they intersect when adding/updating site features and wants to use attribute rules to do this.
Which attribute rule type should the analyst use to accomplish this task?
A GIS technician working with 3D building data wants to interactively view only specific floors of a building at a time.
Which layer property allows for this type of visualization?
A GIS technician wants to use raster functions to quickly visualize optimal positioning for solar panels based on a digital elevation model. Requirements state that for the area of interest, the panels must face north. Additionally, flatter terrain is preferred.
Which function(s) will allow for the quickest visualization of these factors?
A GIS analyst is using the Raster Calculator to determine the best location to start a coffee tree farm. The soil should be deep sandy loam (represented by class code 5 in raster) or fertile volcanic red earth (class code 12). Temperatures should remain between 17.8 to 21.1 degrees Celsius (64 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit), and the area should get at least 60 inches (1.52 meters) of rain per year.
Which expression should be used to produce suitable areas?
A GIS analyst is trying to conduct overlay analysis using the Union tool but is unable to run the tool due to a red X in one of the parameters.
In which scenario should projecting on the fly be used?
A GIS intern is examining two feature classes to determine whether there are any differences in the geometry, attributes, and spatial reference.
Which geoprocessing tool should the intern use?
