Actual exam question for PMI's PMI-SP exam

Question #: 72
Topic #: 1

[All PMI-SP Questions]

Examine the figure given below.

In this project network diagram, what is the total float for Activity I?

AThree

BZero

CFive

DOne

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The float for Activity I is three days. The early start for Activity I is Day 17 and the late start for

Activity I is Day 20. Therefore, the difference of

the early start and the late start reveals the float as three days. It is possible, and acceptable, to use

the difference of the early finish and the late finish to find the float, as the value will be the same

amount. Answer options B, D, and C are incorrect. These are not the valid calculation for the total

float.

But the critical path doesn't pass through Activity I, so it should be Zero.

I believe it is Three, because there are multiple paths to this activity.

Haha, yeah, it does kind of look like a Jackson Pollock painting. Maybe they're testing our ability to analyze abstract project plans.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that the diagram looks a bit like a modern art piece? I wonder if the exam designers are trying to throw us off.
