Professional-Level Exam Question Types

• Each question requires you to use the Autodesk application to create or modify a data file, and then to type your answer into an input box on the screen
• The answer you enter will either be a text entry or a numeric value
• If you are entering a word, phrase, enter the answer exactly as it appears in your data file or in the Autodesk application
• If you are entering a numeric value, you may copy and paste from the application
• The testing system will accept the comma as well as the decimal point

Entering a Text Answer
This type of question presents a scenario that requires you to open a data file and perform a common task




Entering a Numeric Answer
This type of question presents a scenario that requires you to open a data file, modify the object, and identify a value

Associate-Level Exam Question Types

One-best-answer multiple choice
This is the traditional, most familiar type of test question.
It requires you to select the single best answer
Select all that apply
These questions consist of a question followed by multiple responses in which you select all options that apply
Point-and-click
The correct answer is selected by clicking on the correct area of the graphic
Matching format
These questions consist of a list of statements in the left column that are matched to the correct statement in the column on the right

Thoroughly Read Exam Questions and Instructions

• Autodesk exams are testing specific objectives, so it is critical that you understand the questions before you answer them
• Before each test, you are presented with a tutorial
• This tutorial contains information on using the Autodesk Online testing system as well as critical information such as location of files, instructions for answering questions, and general test information
