I don't know about you, but I'm just hoping I don't have to fast track my way out of a job after this exam. Gotta love the project management life, am I right?

I'm going to have to go with B. The critical path will have positive total float. Sounds counterintuitive, but hey, that's project management for you!

This is a tricky one, but I'm going with D. Duration buffers are added to maintain a focus on planned activity durations, which is a smart move when fast tracking.
