Esri ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.5 Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most
What is the Esri EADA105 exam?
The EADA105 exam is the official Esri exam behind the ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.5 certification, validating the skills measured by the Esri ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.5 credential. It sits at the Associate level of the Esri certification program. It also connects to ArcGIS Desktop Entry 10.5 (EADE105), ArcGIS Desktop Professional, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the EADA105 exam, and how much time do I get?
The EADA105 exam contains 80-90 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
