Esri ArcGIS Pro Professional (EAPP_2025) Certification Sample Questions

01. After months of versioned editing with regular reconcile and post operations, an enterprise geodatabase's state tree has grown large and query performance has declined.
Which maintenance operation removes the unreferenced states to restore performance?
a) Compress the enterprise geodatabase
b) Register the data as versioned
c) Rebuild the attribute indexes

02. When a topology is validated, coincident vertices from a high-accuracy layer and a low-accuracy layer are snapped together, and the low-accuracy features should move to match the high-accuracy ones.
Which topology setting controls which features move?
a) The layer's transparency setting
b) The cluster tolerance value alone
c) The coordinate ranks assigned in the topology

03. Before an enterprise dataset can participate in replication and offline synchronization, each feature needs a stable, globally unique identifier.
Which action provides that identifier?
a) Add Global IDs to the dataset
b) Add editor tracking to the dataset
c) Add an attribute index to the dataset

04. Two layers in different coordinate systems align correctly on the map, but an overlay analysis of them produces positional errors.
Which understanding explains the correct fix?
a) On-the-fly projection also reprojects the stored coordinates used in analysis
b) On-the-fly projection is display-only, so inputs must be projected before overlay
c) Applying Define Projection to one input will correct the analysis

05. Every row in a geodatabase table must carry a system-maintained identifier that the software guarantees to be unique within that table and relies on to manage selections and relates.
Which field provides this system-managed row identifier?
a) The ObjectID field
b) An attribute-indexed field
c) A GlobalID field

06. Automatic labels are mostly acceptable, but a few must be nudged and rotated individually for a printed map while remaining editable placed text.
Which step makes those adjustments possible?
a) Increase the label weight in the placement settings
b) Apply a display filter to the label class
c) Convert the labels to geodatabase annotation

07. Data on an older local datum must be aligned with a modern datum, but no single published transformation directly connects the two.
Which approach yields an accurate result?
a) Apply Define Projection to the older data
b) Apply a composite, multi-step geographic transformation
c) Apply a single vertical transformation instead

08. Inspection records must be automatically deleted whenever their parent asset feature is deleted, enforcing strict lifecycle dependency.
Which relationship design enforces this cascade?
a) An attributed relationship class
b) A simple relationship class
c) A composite relationship class

09. Within one feature class, each asset category must present editors with a different list of permissible material values.
Which design delivers category-specific value lists?
a) Assign a coded-value domain to each subtype
b) Apply one domain to the whole feature class
c) Create a separate relationship class per category

10. A many-to-many association between parcels and owners must store additional information, such as ownership percentage, about each individual link.
Which relationship design supports this?
a) A simple one-to-many relationship class
b) An attributed relationship class
c) A standard table join
