PGA Comprehension Practice Test

A complete objective is one that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). The choice that best fulfills these criteria is the objective that specifies increasing rounds by 10% in the next year.

This objective is clear and measurable: it sets a specific target of a 10% increase, which can be quantified easily. It is time-bound, as it specifies a deadline of one year. The objective is also relevant, as increasing rounds is likely to contribute to overall business success and profitability.

The other objectives, while they have some strong points, do not possess the same level of completeness. For instance, decreasing total operating expenses by 50% in the next month may be overly ambitious or unrealistic within such a short timeframe. Increasing merchandise revenues in the next quarter lacks a specific target growth amount, making it less measurable. Although increasing lesson revenue by $10,000 is specific and measurable, it does not have a specified timeframe for completion, which affects its completeness in terms of being a full objective.
