• Insurance Practice Tests
  Each of the General Insurance Practice Tests typically contains 50 questions on general insurance topics related to the national exam and 25 additional questions that are representative of the questions you may see on the state portion of the exam.

The Insurance Practice Tests cover the following lines:

• Life
• Health
• Property
• Casualty

All Practice Tests provide correct answers. After you select an answer to a question, click the “Feedback” button to check your results. If you selected the correct answer, the word “CORRECT” will be displayed. If you selected the wrong answer or did not select an answer, the word “INCORRECT” will be displayed and the correct answer will be revealed. Since laws, rules, and regulations vary among states, no feedback is available for the state portions of the insurance practice tests. There is no additional rationale as to why the answer is correct in the practice tests.

A score report will appear at the end of the test each time you take it. The number of correct answers for each test section is calculated in the score report. (Since laws, rules, and regulations vary among states, no score reports are available for the state portions of the insurance practice tests.)
