A. Creating a comprehensive privilege log with detailed legal descriptions for trial exhibits
B. Finalizing exact redaction coordinates for production sets
C. Making initial determinations on responsiveness/relevance, identifying potential privilege, and tagging broad issue
categories [CORRECT]
D. Translating foreign language documents into English
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: First-pass review focuses on broad triage: categorizing responsiveness, identifying potential privilege, and applying
initial issue tags.
Q4: How does a 'Second-Pass Document Review' differ functionally from a First-Pass Review?
A. It is performed exclusively by contract paralegals to verify page counts
B. It discards all coding applied during first pass to restart review from scratch
C. It is strictly used for testing OCR text accuracy
D. It involves detailed substantive review, conducting precise privilege and confidential redactions, drafting privilege
log entries, and identifying key/hot documents for depositions [CORRECT]
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Second-pass review conducts granular analysis on first-pass responsive/privileged documents, applying precise
redactions and drafting privilege logs.

D. Archiving deleted workspace databases
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Review Center is Relativity's centralized administrative framework for creating and monitoring prioritized review
queues, Active Learning projects, and reviewer workflows.
Q6: In Review Center, what is the key operational difference between a 'Prioritized Review Queue' and a 'Standard
Batch Review'?
A. Standard Batch Review only works on audio files
B. Prioritized Review dynamically serves the next most relevant or high-priority document based on machine learning
rankings, whereas Standard Batch Review distributes static pre-defined batches [CORRECT]
C. Prioritized Review requires manual check-out of 500-document batches
D. Standard Batch Review does not record reviewer coding decisions
Correct Answer: B

whereas standard batching assigns fixed, pre-allocated document sets.
Q7: When configuring a Batch Set in Relativity, what does the 'Family Field' setting ensure?
A. That reviewers can only view documents created by their relatives
B. That attachments are permanently deleted from parent emails
C. That entire document families (such as an email parent and all attached spreadsheets) remain together within the
same review batch to preserve context [CORRECT]
D. That all documents are sorted alphabetically by author surname
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Setting the Family Field (e.g., Parent Document ID) ensures that attachments are not split across different batches or
reviewers, maintaining crucial review context.
Q8: What happens when a reviewer clicks 'Check In as Completed' on an assigned review batch?
A. All documents in the batch are permanently deleted from the workspace
B. The documents are automatically published to a public web portal
