The bad news is that the number of testable items in the Model Law is nearly infinite, making it impossible to memorize them all. The good news is that most of them are so generic and so Mom-and-apple-pie-ish that you can probably get partial credit for almost anything they ask just by listing common-sense answers based on general knowledge of insurance.
