- What are the rod tip paths that produce a narrow loop, wide loop and tailing loop?
- Name two actions that result in a tailing loop.
- How does the path of the rod tip relate to the size of the loop?
- How does the 180-degree principle apply to overhead casting?
- If the casting arc is too wide for the bend of the rod, which loop shape results?
- Comparing a bamboo rod with a fast-action graphite rod, which needs the wider casting arc when false casting similar loops?
- What is a mend?
- Why would you slip line, or not slip line, during a reach mend?
- What fishing situation would you use a pile cast?
- What is an elliptical cast, and when might you use it?
- What are the fishing benefits of learning to cast from the vertical plane to a more horizontal plane?
- What casting adjustments are needed when casting from a vertical plane to a horizontal plane?
- When would you want to use a reach mend?
- Describe the 180-degree principle for anchored casts as it applies to the roll cast.
- In what fishing situation would you use a roll cast pickup?
- If too much force is applied too early during a roll cast, what happens to the loop?
- What are at least three reasons we do a roll cast?
- Is a roll cast a good change-of-direction cast?
- How does fly line trajectory affect accuracy?
- What changes in timing (pause) occur when casting from 20 ft to 45 ft at similar casting speed?
- How do I correct my fly landing to the right or left of the target?
- How much line can we typically shoot?
- When casting a distance of 75 ft, approximately how much line is carried in the air during false casting?
- As the casting distance increases, what happens to the length of the haul?
- When teaching the double haul, how do you teach when the haul begins?
- What happens if the haul is too early?
- When you are demonstrating a cast, where should the observer stand relative to you and the sun?
- What is the biggest risk in your instructional approach when teaching a beginner?
- What teaching tools would you use to demonstrate rod tip path to a beginner?
- When would the PULD (Pickup and Laydown) cast be used?
- Where should an instructor stand to best identify poor tracking?
- Define Gammel's Five Essentials and integrate each into the Task 21 adjustment from 30 ft to 50 ft.
- What is the most important concept to convey in teaching Task 22 when casting with wind?
- A fly leg dips towards the rod leg but never crosses it. Is that sufficient to meet the current definition of a tailing loop?
- Which identifies a trailing loop rather than a tailing loop?
- True or false: casting arc and stroke length are two names for the same measurement.
- Which movement is translation?
- Does the definition of stop require the rod to remain completely motionless for a prolonged interval?
- Which term describes the lateral path of the rod tip during a casting stroke?
- True or false: timing and tempo are interchangeable in the current definitions.
- During the pause, the tip moves in the direction of the cast just made. What is this?
- True or false: every movement towards the next cast during the pause is automatically creep.
- Line is released after the stop and the amount outside the tip increases. Which term applies?
- True or false: a water mend takes place before the line lands.
- A cast transitions from a relatively horizontal back-cast plane into a more vertical forward plane without stopping. Which is the best identification?
- Which is Point P?
- True or false: the anchor consists only of the fly.
- Which is a blown anchor?
- True or false: the current roll-cast definition includes a substantial change of direction.
- What principally distinguishes the published roll-cast pickup from a standard roll cast?
- True or false: a double haul includes a pull on consecutive strokes and a return of the line hand towards the rod hand during the pause.
- What is overhang?
- Which sequence describes the diagnostic half of the six-step method?
- Which sequence describes the corrective half of the six-step method?
- True or false: the six-step method recommends correcting every visible fault at once.
- Which practice setup is explicitly recommended in the introductory PULD lesson?
- Wind blows towards a right-handed caster's casting arm. Which response addresses the published safety concern?
- What are the two principal functions of backing described in the equipment glossary?
- True or false: the tippet must always be a separately knotted piece rather than part of a leader.
- Which is finer in the standard X sequence?
- True or false: a line's total head weight must equal its first-30-foot weight.
- Which knot is especially associated with joining similar-diameter leader or tippet sections?
- Which is a common Albright application?
- True or false: double surgeon's knot and double fisherman's knot are the same knot.
- What is a common purpose of a perfection loop?
- How many correct answers does the official CI exam page require on its 36-question written test?
- Which list matches the subjects explicitly named on the official written-exam page?
- True or false: passing a self-written practice bank alone establishes readiness for the performance examination.
- True or false: failing the written test necessarily prevents taking the performance exam that day.
- Why is arc matched to rod bend rather than to rod material alone?
- What is the difference between a rod plane and a trajectory?
- Why can a straight tip path still fail to produce the intended straight fly leg?

- What is a Bloody L anchor?
- How do skipped and blown anchors differ in timing?
- What is trunking?
- What is hooking in anchored casting?
- Why diagnose line, then rod, then body?
- How should you demonstrate a correction clearly?
- Why should a casting definition not automatically become your beginner teaching script?
- What does a PULD lesson teach beyond merely getting the fly off the water?
- Why should you investigate turnover when a sidearm cast misses laterally?
- Why can an air-resistant fly need heavier tippet than a slimmer fly of the same hook size?
