Topic readiness checklist
| Official area | Questions | Weight | Finance Prep readiness check |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | 40 | 40% | You can identify the role, authority, policy issue, evidence need, file-control step, conduct duty, and escalation point in a short claim scenario. |
| Property | 25 | 25% | You can separate cause, scope, coverage, mitigation, valuation, estimates, salvage, recovery, and supporting documentation. |
| Automobile | 25 | 25% | You can organize driver, owner, vehicle, use, permission, accident, damage, injury, coverage, liability, and recovery facts before acting. |
| Liability | 10 | 10% | You can separate allegation from proof and analyze duty, breach, causation, damages, defences, evidence, authority, and escalation. |
Three-pass review method
| Pass | Goal | Evidence of readiness |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation pass | Identify the claim stage, policy issue, evidence, valuation or liability question, and authority boundary | You can explain the required next step without relying on answer wording. |
| Scenario pass | Apply that structure to unseen facts | You can identify the decisive fact and reject options that skip evidence, documentation, or approval. |
| Timing pass | Complete varied mixed practice at the official pace | You can average about 72 seconds per question and still reserve time for review. |
Exam readiness is not licence approval
Passing the exam is one step in the resident Adjuster Level 1 route. AIC separately evaluates the licence application and currently lists requirements that include firm Designated Representative recommendation, a current criminal check, qualifying business E&O coverage, applicable fees, and ongoing direct supervision by an Adjuster Level 3. Level 1 reports require Level 3 approval and countersignature under AIC’s current requirements.
What to verify with official sources
Before booking or final review, verify the current exam schedule, location, fee, registration process, candidate rules, result timing, rewrite policy, and application requirements directly with AIC. Use Finance Prep after that verification to build practice fluency.
