What is a blueprint survey?
A blueprint survey is an important part of the exam development process. It describes an exam’s “minimally qualified candidate” and includes an extensive list of specific knowledge that this candidate should have and the ArcGIS tasks they should be able to perform. Just as important, the blueprint survey lists the skills and knowledge that the minimally qualified candidate should not be expected to have.
Participating in a blueprint survey allows you to make an impact on upcoming exams by providing valuable feedback. Your survey responses will help us ensure that:
- Exam objectives reflect tasks and workflows expected to be performed by the minimally qualified candidate.
- Exam sections are appropriately weighted.
