FS PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS AND
FREQUENTLY TESTED RATED A.
All the assessor plats for a municipality are scanned into a file for the GIS.
Which is the most probable structure for the resulting file?
(a) vector data structure
(b) metadata structure
(c) raster data structure
(d) none of the above
(c) raster data structure
Array of grid cells, for spatial analysis.
Eg digitized aerial photograph
A CADD file is an example of which of the following?
(a) vector data structure
(b) metadata structure
(c) raster data structure
(d) none of the above
,(a) vector data structure
Continuous coordinate space, allowing positions, lines, and area boundaries
to be more precisely defined
Inverse distance weighing and Kriging are examples of which of the
following?
(a) geographic data models
(b) database linkage methods
(c) processes for visualization of geographic data
(d) spatial interpolation
(d) spatial interpolation
Spatial interpolation is used to develop contour lines from a series of
irregularly spaced ground elevation points. IDW and Kriging are specific
examples of such
A TIN is often used for which of the following?
(a) photographic data
(b) census data
(c) topographic data
(d) land use data
,(c) topographic data
TIN = Triangulated Irregular Network. 3D data.
An error in elevation is an example of which of the following?
(a) positional error
(b) attribute error
(c) qualitative value error
(d) none of the above
(b) attribute error
While elevation is also representative of position, it is more typically
considered an attribute of a horizontal position
In GPS survey procedure, which of the following is the most important
measurement?
(a) barometric pressure
(b) relative humidity
(c) antenna height
(d) distance from nearest control point
(c) antenna height
, The solution to the position requires the true position of the antenna relative to
the center of the earth
The specifications for a survey require that the boundaries of a subdivision
be referenced to the state plane coordinate system and that directions of
the boundary lines be referenced to grid north. You can obtain a list of
control monuments and coordinates from the
(a) National Society of Professional Surveyors
(b) National Bureau of Standards
(c) National Geodetic Survey
(d) Bureau of Land Management
(c) National Geodetic Survey
In a dependent resurvey in the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), corners
are either existent, obliterated, or lost. An obliterated corner is one whose
location can be determined by
(a) double proportion
(b) single proportion
(c) reliable testimony
(d) secondary methods
(c) reliable testimony
All the other methods are used in locating a LOST corner
