Which of the following is NOT a component of SMART goals?

• A. Specific
• B. Measurable
• C. Achievable
• D. Relevant

Answer: (D)

This item is testing which word isn’t treated as part of the SMART goal framework in this version. SMART goals are used to make targets clear and doable by focusing on four key attributes that you can act on: Specific describes exactly what you want to achieve, Measurable gives you a way to track progress, and Achievable ensures the goal is realistic given your resources. In this version, the term that isn’t included as a built-in component is Relevant, so it’s the one that doesn’t belong in the formal acronym here. Keep in mind that some lists of SMART include Relevant, but this question follows a variant where it isn’t considered part of the core components.
