I have a question for you. Were you required to complete 40 hours of classroom study prior to taking the state test? If you were be sure and coordinate the test date with the completion of your classroom study. You want to take the test when the detail is fresh in your mind. Be careful with practice tests. People tend to memorize answers to questions that may not be on the test. There is no substitute for reading and comprehending the material. Research study methods that are best for you. Good luck.

Do lots of practice test. Passing the insurance exams require excellent test taking skills as well as material knowledge. They generally have multiple choice questions, usually 1 or two of the answers are blatantly wrong, you then have to decide which of the remaining answers is the "best" answer. Make sure you read the question and answers completely, then read it again. They will try to confuse you with questions like "which one is NOT?" , look out for questions like this. Try the web site "www.promissor.com" they are an insurance exam provider and have practice tests for your particular state. Good luck, next time take your time and don't panic.

I would take a review course at a local community college or a local business school. That is what I did for my NYS Life, Health and Disability Insurance license and I passed with an 86. I think it really helps to be able to ask questions of an instructor.
If this is not an option, there may be on line review programs. See if your employer will pick up the cost of any source you take.
Good luck!

Are you studying on your own? If so, you might try taking a test prep course. When I worked for an insurance company a few years ago, they sent me to one of those and I passed the first time I took the exam. Some of those questions are tricky! Be forewarned, though, P&C's the easiest of the three--P&C, Life & Health, and Brokers & Securities. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but....

I've been in P&C for 9 yrs and the testing has changed so much from when I took it years ago. The teacher literally spoon fed us the material and it was almost verbatum what was on the test. Post some of your questions here in this section and see what you come up with. Just remember to be specific for YOUR state. Guidelines are different from state to state.

so . . you think you answered all the questions correctly? Or did you miss entire sections to review? Usually the study materials are pretty good, but it helps a tremendous amount if you can take some practice tests to target the areas you're not clear on . ..
Post your questions here! See what the general concensus is . .

I work at Cincinnati Financial Corporation and I know here they offer a lot of classes to help with certain exams, maybe your company does the same thing. You should look into it.
