Exam Preparation Roadmap
Autodesk highly recommends that you structure
your examination preparation for success. This
means scheduling regular time to prepare,
reviewing this exam preparation roadmap, taking
a course at one of our Authorized Training
Centers, and supporting your studies with Ocial
Preparation Materials. Equally as important, actual
hands-on experience is recommended.
The AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 Certified
Professional exam is aimed at assessing
professional users’ knowledge of the tools,
features, and common tasks of AutoCAD Civil 3D
2014. The exam is comprised of 35 questions, of
which the majority requires you to use AutoCAD
Civil 3D 2014 to create or modify a data file, and
then type your answer into an input box. Other
question types include multiple choice, matching,
and point-and-click (hotspot). The exam has a
2-hour time limit (in some countries, the time limit
may be extended). Find an Autodesk Certification
