Which of the following is a written report option named in the current edition of USPAP?
Correct Answer
D) The Restricted Appraisal Report
Why this is correct: USPAP's current reporting options (since the 2014-15 edition) are Appraisal Report and Restricted Appraisal Report. The Restricted Appraisal Report has specific use limitations and content requirements. Why the other choices are wrong: "The Summary Appraisal Report" and "The Self-Contained Report" are old terms retired under current USPAP. "The Limited Appraisal Report" was never a USPAP report option; 'Limited Appraisal' refers to the scope of work, not the report type. Exam tip: Only two report options exist now: Appraisal Report and Restricted Appraisal Report. Memorize these two names.
