Discuss AACE International AACE-PSP Exam Topic 3 Question 43

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.

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.

Patti 8 months ago

C looks right to me. Sequential makes it clearer.

Novella 8 months ago

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

Rebecka 9 months ago

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

Kandis 9 months ago

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

Sophia 9 months ago

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.

Jenelle 9 months ago

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.

Bettina 9 months ago

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.

Laurene 9 months ago

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.

Amber 10 months ago

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.

Janine 10 months ago

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.

Suzan 10 months ago

I feel A is correct. Independent activities make sense here.

Chaya 10 months ago

Definitely agree with B!

Leanora 10 months ago

I think it's B. They seem to overlap a bit.

Deane 11 months ago

I think it's B, makes sense with the timing.

Brett 11 months ago

C is interesting, but I don't see how that fits the timeline.

Torie 11 months ago

I think I remember something about independent activities, but I'm not sure if that's the case here.

Francesco 11 months ago

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.

Skye 12 months ago

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

Crista 12 months ago

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.

Jackie 12 months ago

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.

Corazon 1 year ago

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the relationships between the activities to determine the correct answer.

I agree with Jolanda. B seems to fit the timeline best.

I’m confused. Can someone explain the relationships?

Coral 7 months ago

C makes sense to me. Sequential activities are common.

Jolanda 7 months ago

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

I think it’s option A. They seem independent.
