Public Insurance Adjuster License Exam — Cheat Sheet
Quick-reference facts to lock in before test day. Numbers below are the ones examiners rarely change your mind about — memorize them cold.
Exam Snapshot
- 100 scoreable questions — plan your pace around this count.
- 120 minutes total time limit.
- $39 exam fee.
Pacing Math (must-remember)
With 120 minutes for 100 scoreable questions, you have roughly 1.2 minutes (about 72 seconds) per question. Bank time on easy items so scenario questions get the extra seconds.
- Halfway checkpoint: aim to finish ~50 questions by the 60-minute mark.
- Reserve the final few minutes to revisit flagged items rather than leaving blanks.
Test-Day Rules of Thumb
- Every question counts toward score — never leave a blank; an educated guess beats an omission.
- Budget the $39 fee per attempt, so treat the first sitting as the one that counts.
- Time is fixed at 120 minutes — a running clock, not per-section, so watch your overall pace.
