- Do not skip the state insurance code. Licensing, producer duties, ethics and cancellation rules are specific to Colorado and scored like the rest of the exam.
- Learn notice periods and limits as numbers. Cancellation and nonrenewal notice periods and minimum limits come up as exact figures.
- Take full timed mock exams before test day, so the length and pace of the real exam hold no surprises.
