This question-specific review guide is tied to the answer reasoning for a PracticeTestVault item. Use it after you answer the question so the review stays focused on what the prompt actually tested.
What this question is testing
Objective: Apply finish-to-start lag
Prompt focus: A predecessor finishes on day 10. Its successor has a finish-to-start relationship with a 4-day lag. Ignoring calendar exceptions, on what day can the successor start?
Why the correct answer works
Day 14
For finish-to-start logic with a 4-day lag, successor start = predecessor finish + lag = day 10 + 4 = day 14.
Why the tempting wrong answer fails
The tempting wrong answer usually loses because it skips the key condition, priority, or evidence in the prompt.
Plain-language takeaway
Use the rationale to connect the prompt clue, the correct choice, and the tested objective before retaking a similar item.
Simple analogy
Think of apply finish-to-start lag like following a short checklist: identify the clue, confirm the rule, and then make the move that fits this exact scenario.
How to review it before a retake
- Underline the command word and name what the question is asking before rereading the choices.
- Compare the correct answer against the closest distractor and write the exact detail that separates them.
- Retest this objective with a fresh question without looking at the rationale first.
