Actual exam question for AACE International's AACE-PSP exam

Question #: 43
Topic #: 3

[All AACE-PSP Questions]

Using the normal schedule, given Activity 3001 and the relationship with Activity 4001. what is indicated?

AThe activities are independent, with Activity 4001 starting 15 days earlier than the start
of Activity 5001

BThese activities are partially concurrent, with Activity 4001 starting 15 days after the
start of Activity 3001

CThese activities are sequential, with Activity 4001 starting 15 days earlier than the start of Activity 3001.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Relationship Analysis:

Activity 4001 starts 15 days after Activity 3001 begins, based on their logical dependency (SS +15).

This indicates partial concurrency, as both activities overlap in execution.

Evaluation of Other Options:

A: Incorrect, as the statement refers to Activity 5001, not 3001.

C: Incorrect, as Activity 4001 does not start before Activity 3001.

Verification with PSP Guidelines: PSP guidelines stress precise interpretation of activity relationships (Ref: PSP Study Guide, Chapter 2A: Logical Relationships and Lags).

I’m leaning towards B too. The timing feels right for partial concurrency.

C looks right to me. Sequential makes it clearer.

A seems off, they can't be independent if there's a timing relationship.

Wait, how can they be partially concurrent? Sounds odd.

Option B is the way to go. Partial concurrency is the name of the game here, folks.

Haha, this question is a real brain-teaser. I'm going to go with C just to see if I can outsmart the test-makers.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option A seems a bit odd - why would the activities be independent if they have a relationship? I'm leaning towards B or C.

Option C makes the most sense to me. These activities are sequential, with Activity 4001 starting 15 days earlier than the start of Activity 3001.

I think option B is the correct answer. The activities are partially concurrent, with Activity 4001 starting 15 days after the start of Activity 3001.

I vaguely recall that sequential activities have a clear start and end relationship. I wonder if C is the right choice here, but I’m not entirely confident.

I’m confused about the timing. Wasn't there a question where we had to determine if activities were sequential or concurrent? I need to think this through.

This sounds a bit like a practice question we did on activity relationships. I feel like B could be right, but I need to double-check the definitions.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll need to re-read the question a few times and maybe even sketch out a timeline to visualize the relationships.

I've got this! The key is understanding the relationship between the activities. Based on the information provided, I think the answer is B.

I'm a bit confused by the wording here. Is "normal schedule" referring to a specific schedule or just a general term? I'll need to clarify that before I can answer.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The question is asking about the relationship between Activities 3001 and 4001, so I'll need to focus on that.
