Which SuPeRSMART component describes a clear, precise statement of the goal?

• A. Time-bound
• B. Specific
• C. Measurable
• D. Relevant

Answer: (B)

Specific is the component that describes a clear, precise statement of the goal. It defines exactly what you want to achieve, leaving no room for ambiguity, so you know precisely what success looks like and what actions are needed. For example, a specific goal would state the exact outcome and scope, such as “I will complete five nutrition coaching sessions with a new client within the next four weeks,” which makes what will be done and when unmistakable. Time-bound, measurable, and relevant each add a different dimension—when the goal is due, how progress is tracked numerically, and how the goal aligns with broader objectives—but the clarity of the outcome itself comes from specificity.
