These 10 free EADF questions are organized by exam domain, so you can see how each part of the ArcGIS Developer Foundation 2201 blueprint is tested. Reveal the answer and explanation under each question.

Domain 1: Content Management 18% of exam

Question 1

A city's hosted road-condition layer contains each reporter's name and phone number as well as the report's location and status. Staff need the complete records, while a public map must show current locations and statuses without making the personal fields retrievable. Staff edits must appear without a separate copying process. How should the data be exposed?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C - Keep the source restricted and share a hosted feature layer view that excludes the personal fields.

Question 2

An ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer contains several years of inspections. The monthly delivery is a validated CSV containing only new inspections, with identifiers that do not already exist in the layer. Existing records and the layer's service URL must be preserved. Select the appropriate maintenance operation.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - Append the CSV's inspection records to the existing hosted feature layer.

Domain 2: Authentication & Security 17% of exam

Question 3

A utility's dispatchers and field inspectors use the same web application but belong to different ArcGIS groups. Each person must see only the private layers permitted to that account, and editor tracking must identify the person making each edit. What should establish the identity for these requests?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - An OAuth 2.0 user token obtained when each employee signs in with their ArcGIS account.

Question 4

Review finding: a production browser bundle contains the OAuth client secret used to request application tokens. The secret has already been downloaded by visitors. Choose the remediation that prevents further use of that secret and removes the same exposure from future releases.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C - Rotate the exposed secret and move client-credential token requests to a trusted backend.

Domain 3: Solutions Design 29% of exam

Question 5

A C# extension must add a dockpane and a custom command inside ArcGIS Pro, using the active Pro map. Which toolkit should the developer choose rather than the similarly named toolkit for standalone .NET mapping apps?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET

Question 6

Offline testing of a native inspection app reaches a specific roadblock: the service does not support creating the feature replica needed for disconnected edits and later synchronization. Licensing, user permissions, and dataset eligibility have been verified. The service currently advertises Query, Create, and Update. Which service change addresses this gap?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - Enable the Sync capability to support feature replicas and subsequent synchronization.

Question 7

An ArcGIS Online member has a Creator user type and a custom role that permits creating content but not publishing hosted feature layers. The member must publish a new hosted inspection layer; no organization-administration duties are required. What is the smallest sufficient change to the member's assigned permissions?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - Assign a custom role that also includes the privilege to publish hosted feature layers.

Domain 4: Functionality & Visualization 35% of exam

Question 8

A map compares reported service incidents per resident, not total workload. During the same year, North District recorded 120 incidents among 20,000 residents; South District recorded 180 among 60,000. Darker polygon fills must indicate a higher incident rate per 1,000 residents. Which legend interpretation is valid?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D - North should be darker: its rate is 6 per 1,000 residents, compared with South's rate of 3.

Question 9

The map author says, 'The Arcade expression displays the complete address, so DISPLAY_ADDRESS is ready for export.' The expression exists only in the pop-up, and the stored DISPLAY_ADDRESS text field is still empty. Which action would actually populate that field?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A - Calculate DISPLAY_ADDRESS using the Arcade field-calculation profile.

Question 10

A SceneView must display two antenna-tip points. One is 18 m above terrain at 120 m; the other is 25 m above terrain at 300 m. The stored z-values are 18 and 25, representing height above local ground. Terrain elevations use the same vertical datum, all heights are in meters, and additional offsets are zero. Which placement gives the intended displayed elevations?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B - relative-to-ground, giving elevations of 138 m and 325 m above the vertical datum.
