Common Questions About the Esri EADE105 Exam

What is the Esri ArcGIS Desktop Entry 10.5 exam all about?

The EADE105 exam is the official Esri exam behind the ArcGIS Desktop Entry certification, validating the skills measured by the Esri ArcGIS Desktop Entry 10.5 credential. It sits at the Entry level of the Esri certification program. It also connects to ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.5, ArcGIS Desktop Professional 10.5, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the EADE105 exam, and how much time do I get?

The EADE105 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.
