ESRI PRO ASSOCIATE CERTIFICATION EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2025
When is it appropriate to manage your raster datasets
using a mosaic dataset? - ....ANSWER ....✔✔ You
want to use small to large collections of your raster data
for managing, visualizing, performing many
geoprocessing analyses, and querying.
List the advantages of organizing raster data in a
mosaic dataset. - ....ANSWER ....✔✔ -Store, manage,
view, query, and share small to vast collections of lidar
data
-Perform raster-level operations on lidar data
-Complete on-the-fly processing
-Display data faster at any scale
When you add a mosaic dataset to ArcGIS Pro, it is
added as a mosaic layer that appears in the Contents
pane as a special group layer with a minimum of three
layers. What are these layers called and what does
each display? - ....ANSWER ....✔✔ Boundary,
Footprint, and Image.
,2|Page
-The Boundary layer displays the boundary of the
mosaic dataset
-The Footprint layer displays the footprints for each
raster within the mosaic dataset
-The Image layer controls the rendering of the
mosaicked image.
What are rules for ordering overlapping rasters when
viewing the mosaicked image called? - ....ANSWER
....✔✔ Mosaic methods
T/F: If you selected the option to build overviews on a
mosaic dataset, then the statistics will also be generated.
- ....ANSWER ....✔✔ True
T/F: Any modifications you make in the Image layer will
not affect the properties of the mosaic dataset. -
....ANSWER ....✔✔ True
T/F: You have gathered 59 county-level, 1-meter
IKONOS images. You would like to create a mosaic
dataset using these images. However, you want to
exclude areas of cloud cover. It is appropriate to
generate overviews in this scenario during the process of

adding rasters to the mosaic dataset. - ....ANSWER
....✔✔ False
You have built a mosaic dataset using a set of raster
data. You want to select specific tiles within the mosaic
dataset and download them to your local computer.
How can you accomplish this task? - ....ANSWER
....✔✔ Add the mosaic dataset to ArcGIS Pro, select
the specific tiles, lock to selected rasters, and download
the selected rasters.
You modify the extent of the footprint of a mosaic
dataset. Which of the following statements is true?
Pixels are modified.
There is no loss of image data.
You cannot crop the polygons.
You are editing the source raster dataset. - ....ANSWER
....✔✔ There is no loss of image data.
T/F: You have created a mosaic dataset using a set of
LAS files, and you modify the Image layer in ArcGIS Pro
to better visualize the mosaicked image. By doing so,
you are changing the source data. - ....ANSWER
....✔✔ False

You have received a mosaic dataset with several layers.
How do you display a specific layer of interest and
extract information about the layer? - ....ANSWER
....✔✔ Query the layer.
You have acquired GeoEye-1 imagery with and without
cloud cover. You want to view it with no cloud cover at
the top. Which mosaic method will you use? -
....ANSWER ....✔✔ By Attribute
What is required to create a mosaic dataset? -
....ANSWER ....✔✔ You should have write access to
the geodatabase and an ArcGIS Desktop Standard and
ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license.
You receive a mosaic dataset with several layers. How
do you display a specific layer of interest and extract
information about that layer? - ....ANSWER ....✔✔
Query the mosaic
What is the first step in managing your raster data using
a mosaic dataset? - ....ANSWER ....✔✔ Create a
geodatabase if you do not have one.
