IRDAI Surveyor Miscellaneous (S-07) study plan

Map the IRDAI Surveyor Miscellaneous (S-07) syllabus into a written topic list, tagging each item as licensing/regulatory, survey practice, or claims-and-reporting content

Build a personal glossary of at least 40 regulatory and survey terms with statutory or regulatory source noted for each

Draft a weekly study timetable that allocates fixed slots for the remaining seven weeks

Explain the licensing pathway for surveyors and loss assessors, including eligibility, categories, and application requirements, without referring to notes

Summarise the code of conduct obligations that apply to surveyors in day-to-day practice

Distinguish the duties of a surveyor from those of an insurer's claims department and an investigator

Solve 30 mixed practice questions on the licensing and conduct material and log every wrong answer with its cause

Outline the survey and loss assessment workflow from intimation through report submission, listing each step and its purpose

Describe the standard contents of a survey report and the documents that support it

Identify common deficiencies in survey reports and state how each would be corrected

Write one model survey report for a hypothetical motor or fire loss of your own invention

Explain the principles of indemnity, insurable interest, utmost good faith, and proximate cause and apply each to a short invented claim scenario

Distinguish total loss, partial loss, constructive total loss, and salvage, and state how each affects assessment

Describe how depreciation, betterment, and underinsurance are handled in loss quantification

Complete 40 timed practice questions on principles and quantification and review all errors

Summarise the regulatory reporting and record-keeping obligations that bear on surveyors, including timelines and confidentiality

Explain the grievance redressal and disciplinary framework applicable to surveyors and what conduct triggers action

Compare the surveyor's role in motor, fire, marine, and health claims, noting where the assessment emphasis differs

Draft a one-page compliance checklist a surveyor could use before submitting any report

Work through at least 60 mixed-topic practice questions under timed conditions and record accuracy by topic

Re-teach your three weakest topics by writing short explanations as if instructing a new trainee

Revisit every item in your error log from weeks 2 to 5 and mark each as resolved or still open

Refine the glossary to at least 60 terms and remove any entries you cannot source

Take one full-length mock examination under exam conditions and mark it strictly

Analyse the mock by topic, cause of error, and time spent per question

Rebuild notes for any topic scoring below your target into single-page revision sheets

Practise 20 numerical loss-quantification problems until you can complete each within two minutes

Take two further full-length mocks and compare scores against the week 7 baseline

Review only your revision sheets, glossary, and error log, avoiding new material

Rehearse the report-writing format until you can reproduce its structure from memory

Confirm exam-day logistics and write a short final confidence checklist
