Personal Lines Insurance License Exam — Cheat Sheet
Quick-reference facts and must-remember rules for the Texas Personal Lines (General Property & Casualty) licensing exam.
Exam Vitals (memorize the numbers)
- 100 scoreable questions
- 120 minutes (2 hours) time limit
- $39 exam fee
Pacing Math
- 120 min ÷ 100 questions ≈ 1.2 minutes per question. Roughly 1 minute 12 seconds each — keep moving; flag and return to hard items.
- Checkpoint targets: ~25 questions by the 30-minute mark, ~50 by 60 min, ~75 by 90 min — leaving ~30 min to finish and review.
Must-Remember Rules
- Read every question fully — watch for qualifiers like NOT, EXCEPT, always, and never.
- Answer every question — there's no penalty for guessing, so never leave a blank.
- Eliminate obviously wrong choices first, then pick the best remaining answer.
- Budget the $39 fee per attempt — a retake means paying it again, so aim to pass on the first sitting.
