Below are the questions for the exam with the choices of answers:
Question #1
A The duration of the critical path is the average duration of all paths in the project network.
B The shortest of all paths through the network is the critical path.
C On a specific project, there can be multiple critical paths, all with exactly the same duration.
D Every network has only one critical path.
E Some activities on the critical path may have slack.
Question #2
A All of these are true.
B Gantt charts use the four standard spines of Methods, Materials, Manpower, and Machinery.
C Gantt charts are expensive.
D
E Gantt charts give a timeline and precedence relationships for each activity of a project.
F Gantt charts are visual devices that show the duration of activities in a project.
Question #3
A Immediate Predecessor
B Critical Path
C Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
D PERT analysis
E Forward and Backward Pass
Question #4
A normal organization.
B fixed project organization.
C standard organization.
D matrix organization.
E permanent project organization.
Question #5
A exaggerated expense reports.
B pressure to mask delays with false status reports.
C compromised quality standards to meet bonuses or avoid penalties related to schedules.
D gifts from contractors.
E All of these.
Question #6
A planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling.
B planning, scheduling, and controlling.
C GANTT, CPM, and PERT.
D different for manufacturing projects than for service projects.
E planning, programming, and budgeting.
Question #7
A The crash time always exceeds the normal time.
B Crashing is not possible unless there are multiple critical paths.
C Crashing shortens the project duration by assigning more resources to one or more of the critical tasks.
D Activities not on the critical path can never be on the critical path, even after crashing.
E Crashing a project often reduces the length of long-duration, but noncritical, activities.
Question #8
A 5.00
B 32.00
C 5.67
D 5.33
E 10.67
Question #9
A Only critical activities contribute to the project variance.
B Each activity has two estimates of its duration.
C The most likely time is equivalent to the expected activity time.
D Project standard deviation is the sum of all critical activity standard deviations.
E Project variance is the sum of all activity variances.
Question #10
A True
B False
Question #11
A If a specific project has multiple critical paths, all of them will have the same duration.
B The early finish of an activity is the latest early start of all preceding activities.
C The late start of an activity is its late finish plus its duration.
D There can be multiple critical paths on the same project, all with different durations.
Question #12
A Only one path is optimal
B The project will not be completed by the desired time
C You have multiple critical paths
D You have incorrectly performed the analysis
Question #13
A The duration of this activity is 2
B The Late Finish is 12
C The slack for this activity is 2
D The activity is on the critical path
E The Early Finish is 10

A $400
B $20,000
C $10,000
D $30,000
E $2,000
