• Activity identification and organization
• Predecessor and successor relationships
• Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, and Start-to-Finish logic

• Relationship configuration and schedule quality checks
• Practical P6 project-planning and scheduling applications
INTRODUCTION
This assessment develops comprehensive knowledge and practical understanding of
Primavera P6 project scheduling, with particular emphasis on activity relationships, Work
Breakdown Structure (WBS), and lag. The questions assess terminology, logical relationships,
activity sequencing, WBS organization, schedule interpretation, configuration procedures,
and practical decision-making. Multiple-choice questions are used to test both foundational
knowledge and the ability to apply scheduling concepts to realistic project situations.
Understanding these concepts is essential because P6 relationships and activity durations
work together to determine schedule dates, while WBS provides a structured framework for
organizing project scope and activities. The assessment therefore emphasizes accurate
interpretation, logical reasoning, and effective application of P6 scheduling principles.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–100
PRIMAVERA P6 FUNDAMENTALS AND ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS
Question 1. What is the primary purpose of an activity relationship in Primavera P6?
A. To assign a resource price to an activity
B. To define logical dependency between activities
C. To calculate the activity's budget automatically
D. To identify the project's organizational owner
Correct Answer: B. To define logical dependency between activities
,Explanation: An activity relationship establishes how one activity is logically connected to
another. These relationships form the project network and, together with activity durations,
influence schedule dates.
Question 2. In a relationship between two activities, what is the predecessor?
A. The activity that follows another activity
B. The activity with the longest duration
C. The activity that logically precedes another activity
D. The activity with the highest cost
Correct Answer: C. The activity that logically precedes another activity
Explanation: The predecessor is the activity whose start or finish provides the logical
reference for the successor activity.
Question 3. What is a successor activity?
A. An activity that logically follows another activity
B. An activity assigned to the highest WBS level
C. An activity with no predecessor
D. An activity containing a constraint
Correct Answer: A. An activity that logically follows another activity
Explanation: A successor is the activity whose timing is logically dependent on the
predecessor according to the defined relationship.
Question 4. Which relationship type is the default relationship type in Primavera P6?
A. Start to Start
B. Finish to Finish
C. Start to Finish
D. Finish to Start
Correct Answer: D. Finish to Start
Explanation: Primavera P6 identifies Finish-to-Start (FS) as the default relationship type.
Question 5. What does a Finish-to-Start relationship mean?
,A. The successor cannot start until the predecessor finishes
B. The successor cannot finish until the predecessor starts
C. Both activities must finish simultaneously
D. Both activities must start simultaneously
Correct Answer: A. The successor cannot start until the predecessor finishes
Explanation: In an FS relationship, the predecessor's finish controls the earliest possible start
of the successor.
Question 6. Which relationship allows two activities to begin based on the start of the
predecessor?
A. Finish to Finish
B. Start to Start
C. Finish to Start
D. Start to Finish
Correct Answer: B. Start to Start
Explanation: A Start-to-Start relationship establishes the successor's start in relation to the
predecessor's start.
Question 7. Which relationship connects the finish of the predecessor to the finish of the
successor?
A. Finish to Finish
B. Finish to Start
C. Start to Start
D. Start to Finish
Correct Answer: A. Finish to Finish
Explanation: In an FF relationship, the finish of the successor is logically dependent on the
finish of the predecessor.
Question 8. Which relationship means that the successor cannot finish until the
predecessor starts?
A. Finish to Start
B. Start to Start
C. Finish to Finish
D. Start to Finish
, Correct Answer: D. Start to Finish
Explanation: Start-to-Finish is defined as a relationship in which the successor cannot finish
until the predecessor starts.
Question 9. Which relationship is generally represented by the abbreviation FS?
A. Finish to Start
B. Finish Sequence
C. Final Schedule
D. Finish Standard
Correct Answer: A. Finish to Start
Explanation: FS is the standard abbreviation for Finish-to-Start activity logic.
Question 10. Which abbreviation represents Start-to-Start logic?
A. FF
B. SS
C. SF
D. FS
Correct Answer: B. SS
Explanation: SS represents Start-to-Start, meaning the successor's start is logically tied to
the predecessor's start.
Question 11. Which abbreviation represents Finish-to-Finish logic?
A. FF
B. FS
C. SF
D. SS
Correct Answer: A. FF
Explanation: FF represents Finish-to-Finish logic.
Question 12. Which abbreviation represents Start-to-Finish logic?
A. SS
B. FS
