🏆 Xactimate Level 1 Certification Practice Exam: Complete Sketch & Line Item Walkthrough (Weston Estimate)
This is the ultimate, in-depth walkthrough for the Xactimate Level 1 Certification Practice Exam (The Weston Estimate). Follow along step-by-step as we set up the project, confirm essential default preferences (like setting the Deduct Opening to 'No'), build the complex interior sketch, and enter every required line item.
📐 Master the Sketch Diagram
We walk you through building the challenging floor plan, which includes connecting a kitchen, bedrooms, a bathroom, and a living room with a staircase. Learn essential techniques like:
Using the Control Key + Drag and Break Tool for accurate room creation.
Correctly modeling the stairs by setting the number of risers and making the wall above the stairs "missing."
Adding and confirming properties for all doors (including double doors and sliding doors), windows, and missing walls with a flat arch top.
💰 Essential Line Item Entry
Once the sketch is complete, we transition to Estimate Items and cover the entire list of required repairs. You will learn to:
Find and use specialized Water Mitigation (WTR) line items.
Accurately calculate waste on roofing line items (e.g., using the *1.15 shortcut).
Correctly identify and select items for flooring, drywall, paint, and cabinetry (CAB).
Understand the critical difference between the Remove, Replace, and Remove & Replace actions to ensure accuracy, which is vital for passing the certification test.
🛑 Double-Check Everything! This video emphasizes the importance of going back and checking every single measurement and property before finishing—a critical skill for passing the exam and writing accurate estimates in real life.
