Print, eBook or Audio?
- check_circlePrint is the only format you keep. Choose it if your preparation will run past 90 days, or if you plan to go on to III's Diploma in Life Insurance Underwriting, which shares the subject.
- check_circleThe eBook is the cheapest and instant, but expires after 90 days. Buy it only when you are ready to start.
- check_circleThe audiobook suits a second pass on the commute. It is a poor fit for the medical chapters, where you need to see the test values and tables.

The Book Is the Core, Not the Boundary
III's handbook calls its syllabus "indicative and not exhaustive", says questions will not necessarily come from the study courses only, and expects candidates to read other books and magazines and follow developments in the industry.
How to Read a Book With Nine Medical Chapters
Read chapters 1 to 6 first and in order. They give you the vocabulary every later chapter uses: standard and substandard lives, extra mortality, postponement, exclusions, retention.
Then take the medical chapters one at a time, and make a one-page table for each with three columns: the condition, the test or measure that shows its severity, and the usual underwriting decision. By chapter 15 you have a single revision sheet for most of the medical questions.
Leave the glossary for the last week. It is a quick way to check that every term in the book still means something to you.
What to Use Alongside the Book
| Resource | Use it for |
|---|---|
| IC-01 study course (if you still have it) | Utmost good faith, insurable interest and the basic underwriting cycle that IC-22 assumes |
| Your employer's underwriting manual | Seeing how the book's rules look in real decisions, if you work at a life insurer |
| Timed practice papers | Turning reading into recall under the 2-hour limit |
