GISP PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Precise and accurate - Answers - The property of area for a parcel polygon may be
considered this:
Points - Answers - A vector data model uses which of the following coordinate pair
types to build curvature within a line?
Spatial analysis - Answers - GIS differs from surveying and mapping by introducing

Georeferencing - Answers - Which method is used to align an unreferenced dataset
with one that has spatial reference information?
Control points - Answers - Common locations used in aligning two datasets
Index contours - Answers - In a map showing contours, the name of the darker contour
line
Contours - Answers - imaginary lines on a map that represent areas of constant
elevation
Maps - Answers - The inherent ability to suggest pattern in the phenomena they
represent is a fundamental use of these
Sampling locations, streams, wetland areas - Answers - If you are making a web map
of sampling locations, streams and watershed areas, in what order would you place the
layers on the map
Larger geographic area - Answers - A small-scale map would show this
.DXF - Answers - data format that would most likely represent a file exported from
AutoDesk-AutoCAD
Roles of database administrator - Answers - Create database security settings which
reflect the needs of the organization, Create queries for reporting purposes, Backup and
Recovery of database
characteristics of GIS services that make it difficult to design GIS web services with
satisfactory performance - Answers - GIS requires heavy CPU usage, GIS services
sometimes transmit large images, Clients of GIS services are often complex software
packages
