Frequently asked questions
How many California Personal Lines practice questions?+
158 original practice questions covering all 8 topics of the California Department of Insurance Personal Lines Broker-Agent license exam.
Is the Personal Lines practice test free?+
Yes, completely free. No signup, no credit card. Unlimited practice rounds and a 100-question timed mock exam included.
What's the difference between Personal Lines and the full P&C license?+
Personal Lines is restricted to personal auto + residential property (no commercial property, no workers' comp). It's the entry-level P&C license: 32 hours of pre-licensing (vs 52 for full P&C) and a ~100-question / 2.5-hour exam (vs ~150q / 3 hours).
Are these real CDI exam questions?+
No. All questions are original prose authored from the California Insurance Code, Title 10 CCR, Civil Code, Vehicle Code, and standard ISO Personal Lines form concepts. We never copy from real exams or paid prep providers.
What's the passing score for the Personal Lines exam?+
60% on the real CDI exam. Approximately 100 questions over 2.5 hours at a PSI testing center.
Is the California Personal Lines exam offered in Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese?+
Yes — AB 451 (2018) legally requires CDI to offer producer license exams in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Korean.
Can I upgrade from Personal Lines to the full P&C license later?+
Yes. You can take the additional pre-licensing hours (commercial Property + Casualty content) and sit for the full P&C exam at any time.
