Frequently asked questions
How many California Property & Casualty practice questions?
215 original practice questions covering all 10 topics of the California Department of Insurance Property & Casualty Broker-Agent license exam.
Is the P&C practice test free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no credit card. Unlimited practice rounds and a 150-question timed mock exam included.
Are these real CDI P&C exam questions?
No. All questions are original prose authored from the California Insurance Code, Title 10 CCR, Civil Code, Labor Code, Vehicle Code, and standard ISO insurance form concepts. We never copy from real exams or paid prep providers.
What's the passing score for the California P&C Broker-Agent exam?
60% with sectional cuts. The real CDI exam is approximately 150 multiple-choice questions over 3 hours at a PSI testing center.
What does the P&C Broker-Agent license let me sell?
Auto insurance (personal + commercial), homeowners, dwelling, commercial property, casualty/liability (CGL), and workers' compensation insurance — to California residents and businesses.
Is the California P&C exam offered in Vietnamese or Chinese?
Yes — AB 451 (2018) legally requires CDI to offer producer license exams in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Korean.
Should I take the P&C license or Personal Lines license first?
P&C is broader (commercial + personal). Personal Lines is narrower (residential + personal auto only) and has a shorter exam (~100q vs ~150q). As of 2026 (AB 943) both require only the 12-hour ethics course for prelicensing. Many agents start with whichever matches the business they want to write first; many upgrade Personal Lines → P&C later.
