1Which of the following is of most use to the construction superintendent and foremen for planning daily requirements as to labor, materials, and equipment?
- AThe baseline construction schedule
- BThe preliminary construction schedule
- CThe updated schedule
- DThe two week look ahead schedule
- EThe master schedule
2Which of the following is used to document how a project was actually carried out from start to finish?
- AThe master program schedule
- BThe baseline construction schedule
- CThe recovery schedule
- DThe impact schedule
- EThe as-built schedule
3A GC has filed for an extension of time based on a claim that the architect delayed a decision on a submittal by two weeks, causing the project to be late. The owner claims that the project is two weeks late because the GC mismanaged the subcontractors. What type of schedule would be used to support or refute the GC's claim?
- AThe master program schedule
- BThe baseline construction schedule
- CThe impact schedule
- DThe recovery schedule
- EThe current schedule
4There are many ways to display a construction schedule. Consider a mid or high rise building where the sequence of activities on each floor is the same once the steel frame is erected. Which of the following methods is most effective in displaying the scheduling of these activities in the least amount of space?
- AGantt Chart
- BPrecedence diagram
- CArrow diagram
- DMatrix diagram
- EAll of the above would be effective
5Which of the following schedules is usually presented at a summary level?
- AThe master program schedule
- BThe baseline construction schedule
- CThe three week look ahead schedule
- DThe recovery schedule
- EThe current construction schedule
6When a resource analysis is undertaken, which step in the process involves totaling up the demand for a given resource for all activities running during each time period?
- AResource loading
- BResource aggregation
- CResource availability analysis
- DResource leveling
- EResource allocation
7When a resource availability analysis is done, one starts by looking at the resource requirement of the early start schedule.
- ATrue
- BFalse
8When a schedule is said to be "resource driven", an assumption is made that all needed resources will be available in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of the early start schedule.
- ATrue
- BFalse
9Another phrase used to describe a resource histogram is "resource profile".
- ATrue
- BFalse
10When construction time and costs are monitored, the difference between planned performance and actual performance is called variance.
- ATrue
- BFalse
11When resource leveling is done on a schedule, critical resources are assigned first to activities that have the most total float.
- ATrue
- BFalse
12When resource smoothing is done on a schedule, the total float of one or more activities is always reduced.
- ATrue
- BFalse
13When a schedule is displayed in the form of a network diagram, activities are placed in nodes and logic is represented by arrows connecting the nodes.
- ATrue
- BFalse
14One of the goals of resource leveling is to accelerate a project.
- ATrue
- BFalse
15When progress is tracked during the construction phase, the baseline schedule is revised periodically to show the actual start and completion dates for activities completed during the period.
- ATrue
- BFalse
16Resource smoothing always causes the project duration to be increased.
- ATrue
- BFalse
17When contract specifications require the GC to create the detailed construction schedule, the GC is also responsible for maintaining and updating it.
- ATrue
- BFalse
18In the CSI Masterformat, the requirements for Construction Progress Documentation can be found in Division 1, Section 013200.
- ATrue
- BFalse
19Today, it's a common practice on building construction projects for the owner to require the GC to resource load the detailed construction schedule.
- ATrue
- BFalse
20Quality assurance can be defined as a system of checks, inspections, or tests that are conducted on completed work to verify that the desired level of quality has been achieved.
- ATrue
- BFalse
21Each successive level of a WBS breaks the project deliverables down to more specific & measurable chunks.
- ATrue
- BFalse
22When a schedule is built using the "pull planning" process, the logic is built by having participants place sticky notes on a wall going forward from the start date toward completion.
- ATrue
- BFalse
23At any point during a project, the current baseline budget consists of the original baseline budget plus any cost overruns to-date.
- ATrue
- BFalse
24In monitoring construction time and costs, the difference between planned performance and actual performance is called variance.
- ATrue
- BFalse
25On a building project, it is typically the responsibility of the PM to fill out and submit daily reports on work progress.
- ATrue
- BFalse
26When earned value analysis is done to determine the % complete for a project as a whole, the calculation is based on the actual cost of work in place to-date as compared to the total budget at completion.
- ATrue
- BFalse
27A so called "Banana" curve results when one plots the data for planned cumulative costs over time and actual cumulative costs over time on the same graph.
- ATrue
- BFalse
28When an earned value analysis is done, a cost performance index greater than one indicated that the actual costs to-date for completed work are more than planned.
- ATrue
- BFalse
29An earned value analysis shows that at a given point in time on a construction project, the schedule performance index for all activities is greater than 1. When a filter is run and only critical activities are considered, the schedule performance index fall below 1. Which of the following statements best describes the status of the project?
- ACritical path activities are ahead of schedule and more work is being done than planned.
- BCritical path activities are ahead of schedule but there is a shortfall in work on non-critical activities.
- CCritical path activities are on schedule but there is a shortfall on non-critical activities.
- DCritical path activities are behind schedule and too much work is being done on non-critical activities.
- ECritical path activities are behind schedule and total work done is less than planned.
30What is the Criticality Index?
- AHow often an activity is on the critical path
- BHow likely an activity is to influence the outcome of a project
- CThe level of influence that an activity has on the duration of a project
31What is the Cruciality Index?
- AHow often an activity is on the critical path
- BHow likely an activity is to influence the outcome of a project
- CThe level of influence that an activity has on the duration of a project
32What is Schedule Sensitivity Index?
- AHow often an activity is on the critical path
- BHow likely an activity is to influence the outcome of a project
- CThe level of influence that an activity has on the duration of a project
