Sequence the claim-handling workflow from first notice of loss through final payment, listing the documentation produced at each step.

Build a documented investigation outline for a water-damage claim covering scope, moisture readings, photo protocol, and statement plan.

Calculate actual cash value, replacement cost, and additional living expense for multi-line scenarios using depreciation and time-period limits.

Draft a coverage-position letter to an insurer that states the insured's claim, the supporting policy language, and the requested remedy.

Reconcile a damage inventory against an insurer's scope to identify omitted items and quantify the gap.

Re-drill the two weakest subtopics surfaced in weeks 1–3 until each is answered correctly twice in a row.

Interpret a line-item repair estimate and verify quantities, unit costs, overhead-and-profit math, and depreciation totals.

Measure and calculate roof, siding, drywall, and flooring quantities from supplied dimensions with under-ten-percent error.

Distinguish replacement cost from actual cash value using age, useful life, and depreciation schedules across three building components.

Separate construction defect or deferred maintenance from sudden storm damage and describe the evidence that proves each.

Apply the prohibited-acts provisions of Florida's unfair trade practices law to ten adjuster-conduct scenarios and label each as permitted or prohibited.

Distinguish lawful advocacy from misrepresentation, fee-related misconduct, conflict of interest, and improper solicitation in written fact patterns.

Compute a public adjuster fee across settlement, supplemental payment, and reappraisal scenarios, including the effect of statutory fee caps.

Explain the adjuster's recordkeeping, contract-delivery, and disclosure obligations and identify the point in the claim where each is triggered.

Audit a written practice plan against contract, disclosure, recordkeeping, and fee-handling requirements and flag every gap.

Recite from memory the twenty compliance rules most likely to appear as scenario questions, without notes.

Re-test the lowest-scoring domain from the week-4 midterm and document the specific rule behind each prior miss.

Explain how a licensing or conduct violation by a public adjuster can affect the claim outcome as well as the license.

Complete two full-length timed practice exams under test-day conditions with no notes or pauses.

Rebuild from memory on blank paper the statute map, the coverage comparison, the estimate workflow, and the ethics rules.

Rewrite every missed item from both exams as a one-sentence correct rule and re-quiz yourself on those rules the next day.

Verify that no single domain falls below seventy percent and schedule final review time to the lowest one.
