Sample question 1 of 10
Two engineers run terraform apply against the same configuration at the same time using a local state file. What is the risk, and what removes it?
Sample question 2 of 10
A variable holds a database password. You mark it sensitive = true. What does that guarantee, and what does it not?
Sample question 3 of 10
A pipeline saves a plan with -out and applies that file after approval. A teammate says running terraform apply directly would have been equivalent. When is the saved file the stricter choice?
Sample question 4 of 10
Why should a module sourced from a registry be pinned to a version constraint rather than left unpinned?

A storage bucket was created by hand in the console. You want Terraform to manage it from now on without destroying and recreating it. What do you do?
Sample question 6 of 10
What does terraform plan actually do?
Sample question 7 of 10
A decommission project needs a plan whose only goal is removing every remote object the configuration manages. Which planning mode is that?
Sample question 8 of 10
A review process approves a speculative plan, then applies days later. The apply changes more than the approved preview showed. What does the documentation say about this?
Sample question 9 of 10
An engineer runs terraform plan with no options, reviews it, and asks a colleague to execute exactly that plan later. Why is that not possible?
Sample question 10 of 10

What this test covers
These 10 questions are drawn across the published exam blueprint rather than from one chapter: this set touches Implementing and maintaining state, Reading and writing configuration, and HCP Terraform, The core Terraform workflow, Modules and the registry. Every question is original, written from the official objectives, and verified against a cited vendor page before it serves. None are recalled exam content, which is why the explanations can cite their sources.
A ten-question sample tells you where you stand, not whether you are ready. The full Terraform Associate bank is still being written, and everything published is free to answer in the meantime.
