Should I take the P&C Insurance exam together or separately?
Some states offer you the choice of taking the Property & Casualty exam together or separately. Achievable courses can handle either use case. If taking them separately, just study one half of the course, then the other. But in terms of test-taking, let's go over the benefits of each approach:
Taking the combined Property & Casualty insurance exam means you will be studying and passing one exam that covers both property and casualty insurance topics simultaneously. The main benefit of the combined exam is that it allows individuals to enter the insurance industry more quickly, which is why many companies prefer that you pursue the combined exam path first. However, it also means that you will need to learn and memorize both topics simultaneously, which can be challenging for some learners.
Conversely, taking the Property & Casualty exams separately gives you more time to study for each insurance exam category. This can be a wise and calculated approach if you are worried about passing the exams and have more time, especially if you are new to the material. This approach allows you to focus more narrowly and become proficient in one area before transitioning to the other. The drawback is that this approach can take more time than pursuing the combined exam, and it may be slightly more expensive to sit for two tests in some states.
What is the pass rate of the P&C Insurance exam?
The national pass rate for the Property & Casualty exam is around 56%. Notably, the national pass rate for the Property exam alone is 57%, and the national pass rate for the Casualty exam alone is 63%. This indicates a slight but noticeable advantage to taking these exams separately versus together.
How do I sit for my P&C Insurance exam?
The Property & Casualty exam is offered at your convenience throughout the year. Most states use Prometric, PSI, or Pearson VUE as the testing center. Some states will even let you take the exam remotely from your home or office. Check with your testing center for details on remote testing.
How long does it take for your registration to be official?
Upon passing the Property & Casualty exam, you will receive a paper with instructions on applying for your state license, though you might need to wait a couple of days for the test center to confirm your passing score before applying.
How many times can you take the P&C Insurance exam?
There is no limit on the number of times you can take the Property & Casualty exam; however, depending on the state, certain restrictions may apply, such as waiting periods between attempts or limits on the total number of retakes within a specified time frame.
