ArcGIS Pro Associate study plan

Create a new project, add a folder connection, and configure project options for default geodatabase and home folder

Import shapefiles, CSV tables, and a file geodatabase feature class into a project geodatabase, verifying spatial reference and field types after each import

Build and apply definition queries and attribute filters to isolate subsets of a feature class

Document a naming convention and folder structure you will reuse for all later practice work

Reproject a dataset to a different coordinate system and explain the difference between defining and projecting

Create domains, subtypes, and a coded value attribute on a feature class and test data entry against them

Create and edit feature classes in a geodatabase, including adding and deleting fields and setting field aliases

Join a standalone table to a feature class by a common attribute and export the joined result

Configure a metadata template and populate item description fields for two datasets

Construct a map from scratch with at least three layers ordered by draw priority and grouped logically

Apply graduated color and unique value symbology to two layers and save each as a layer file

Author at least six label classes using SQL queries, placement rules, and scale ranges

Set map and layer scale ranges and confirm visibility behavior at three different scales

Add a layout with title, legend, scale bar, north arrow, and dynamic text, then export to PDF

Build a map series using a page index layer and export it as a multi-page PDF

Create a scene and display data in 3D, adjusting vertical exaggeration and navigation settings

Configure a pop-up with custom text, field expressions, and at least one chart

Apply a selection, create a definition query, and save the map as a project template for reuse

Run Buffer, Clip, and Intersect on the same inputs and compare outputs to explain how each tool alters geometry and attributes

Use Spatial Join with a one-to-many match option and inspect the resulting cardinality

Run Dissolve with statistics fields and summarize the aggregated values

Build a ModelBuilder model chaining at least three tools with a parameter and a precondition

Inspect and interpret geoprocessing history and tool messages when a run fails

Perform a select-by-attribute and select-by-location workflow and export the selection to a new feature class

Run a raster analysis workflow using a mask or clip and a reclassification step

Calculate geometry and field values using the Calculate Field tool with a Python expression

Create a reusable task list that automates a repeated analysis sequence

Write a short methodology note explaining tool choices, parameters, and assumptions

Publish a web map and a feature layer to an organizational account and confirm the item appears in the correct folder

Configure layer properties for sharing, including pop-ups, filters, and editing permissions

Create a group, share content to it, and verify access from a second account or role

Package a project and a map as offline or portable content and reopen the package to confirm integrity

Complete a timed full-length practice set under exam conditions and log every missed item by domain

Review weak domains by re-running the specific workflows behind each missed item

Rebuild one end-to-end scenario from raw data to shared web map without referencing notes

Write a one-page summary of recurring error patterns and the corrective action for each
