Skill-specific practice

20 questions published across 4 sections. Every question is written for this skill specifically: no universal or borrowed bank is substituted. Answers are checked on this device only, and each explanation says why the keyed answer is the strongest and why the most tempting alternative is weaker.

Choose a section

This bank has 4 themed sections and 20 questions in total, ordered so the earlier sections are the gentler ones. Sit a single section, or work through the whole bank in one go. Nothing here is timed. The minutes are only a guide.

Section 1: Sequencing and dependencies

Warm up on the shape of a plan: what must follow what, and what merely happens to share a resource.
