Casualty Insurance Exam FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about the Casualty Insurance exam.
Does this course prepare me for the Casualty Insurance exam in my state?
Yes, this course covers all 50 states and will prepare you for the Casualty Insurance exam in your jurisdiction. The course is divided into two main sections: general insurance knowledge and state-specific policies and regulations, allowing you to focus on your state of choice. Even if our course is not yet certified for your state, we have the complete content and are in the process of obtaining certification.
Does this course come with a certificate of completion for my state?
Insurance licensing requirements vary state-by-state. Some states do not require applicants to submit a certificate of completion for a pre-licensing course before licensing, while others require pre-licensing education and verification of completion.
The following states do not generally require a certificate of completion: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.
Other states have specific pre-licensing requirements, and we are working to ensure we meet them for every state. Please select your state on the purchase page to see if there are any additional requirements. Note that requirements also vary by license type and may change, and that applicants should always verify current requirements with their state's Department of Insurance.
Should I take the Property & Casualty Insurance exam together or separately?
Some states give you the option to take the Property and Casualty Insurance exams either together or separately. Many agents prefer to specialize in both areas, as it enables them to provide comprehensive property and liability coverage to clients. Achievable's courses support both approaches. Here's an overview of the benefits of each method:
Taking the combined Property and Casualty Insurance exam:
- You study and pass one exam that covers both topics
- The main advantage: You can enter the insurance industry more quickly
- Many companies prefer that candidates start with the combined exam
- The main challenge is that you need to learn and memorize both subjects at the same time
- Some find tackling one large exam more difficult than two smaller, focused exams
- You get more time to study each insurance category, allowing for a more thorough and systematic approach
- This method provides a more manageable learning path, ideal for beginners
- It enables you to become proficient in one area before moving to the next
- You can specialize in one line before expanding your license
- The downside: Studying and taking two exams may take more time and could be slightly more costly in some states
Alternatively, you can choose to specialize in just one line, either Property or Casualty, by taking a single, line-specific exam. You can always add more licenses later in your career.
What is the pass rate of the Casualty Insurance exam?
The national pass rate for the Casualty Insurance exam is around 63%.
Notably, the national pass rate for the combined Property and Casualty exam is 56%, and the national pass rate for the Property exam alone is 57%. This indicates a very slight advantage to taking these exams separately versus together.
