If I told you straight up what you should do, it sort of defeats the purpose of the exam. It's something you have to prove you know. Now, the most generally accepted idea is that a 4th Seat (speaking of a Shinigami character, that is) would be someone that has, at most, a high level of spiritual power and only one area of expert-class that they have focused on almost exclusively while all other areas are still developing. However, they have not mastered any skill necessarily, as they are still in need of vast training and experience. They would also have only gained a foothold in learning their Zanpakutou powers, having only a basic understanding of the Shikai and that's that. Power-wise, that is the gist of it.
