Summary: The purpose of this class is to help beginner level students prepare for the Xactimate Level 1 Certification Exam. 

Objective: In this class, students are given a mock exam to step them through the exam process. It provides a similar real exam experience. This mock exam is not intended to be completed during class time.

1) Practical Lab: Students will prepare two sketch and scope estimates, one consisting of a simple interior diagram and the other consisting of a simple roof diagram. Line items are added to each estimate. Upon completion, students will use these estimates to answer questions on the exam. 

2) Practical Exam: Students will start a timer to begin the first part of the exam by answering 30 questions based on the estimates created in the practical lab.

3) Knowledge Exam: Students will continue in the timed portion of the exam by answering 25 questions about their knowledge of Xactimate, based on the Xactimate Level 1 workbook.

At the completion of the exam, students will stop the timer and mark how long it took to complete the exam. The total allocated time is 3 hours. Students will grade their work from the answers found at the back of the workbook. 

A cumulative score of 70% is required to pass the certification exam. Students who score in the 90 percentile on the mock exam typically do well on the real exam.

Requirements: Students are required to have Xactimate installed and running on their comptuer in order to successfully complete this course (see Xactimate system requirements and a free Xactimate 30-day demo if needed).
