The passing mark for the EADA103 exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is $250 USD. One practical note: the fee buys a single attempt — a retake is charged in full again. Protect that spend by rehearsing first: drill 0 practice questions at PrepAwayPDF under timed conditions until your scores clear the passing mark with margin, then book.

One scheduling detail: the EADA103 exam is delivered In-person at Pearson VUE test centers or online proctored via OnVUE — plan accordingly when you book.

The EADA103 exam — officially the Esri ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.3 — is Esri's certification test for professionals working with its technologies, and passing it earns the ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.3 certification at the Associate level. Because it is vendor-issued and skills-based, employers can compare candidates on it directly — that is what keeps it valuable. It also connects naturally to ArcGIS Desktop Entry 10.3 (EADE103), ArcGIS Desktop Professional 10.3 (EADP103).
