Texas Insurance Adjuster Exam Prep
Texas offers two paths: the traditional Pearson VUE state exam or—far more common—the 40-hour pre-licensing course whose final exam exempts you from the state test. Use this page to prepare for whichever path you choose.
| Exam Administrator / Path | Pearson VUE (for state exam path); or TDI-approved pre-licensing provider (exam exemption path) |
| Question Format | 150 multiple-choice (state exam); course final exam if using 40-hour exemption |
| Time Limit | Typically 2.5–3 hours for state exam; course finals vary by provider |
| Passing Score | 70% (state exam) |
Study Outline
- Decide whether you will take the Pearson VUE state exam or complete a 40-hour TDI-approved pre-licensing course (most adjusters choose the course—its final exam exempts you from the state exam).
- Study Texas Insurance Code basics, policy provisions, ethics, and claims-handling workflow.
- If testing at Pearson VUE, schedule early and review the candidate handbook for ID and reschedule rules.
- Complete Sircon/TDI application steps and fingerprinting after passing your chosen pathway.
Sample Questions & Themes
Sample question (conceptual): Which best describes the duty of good faith in claims handling?
Discussion: Expect questions on fair investigation, timely communication, and ethical handling—review TDI ethics materials and general adjuster practice standards.
Sample question: What is the purpose of a proof of loss?
Discussion: Be ready to connect forms, deadlines, and policy language to statutory requirements.
Pass Tips
- If you use the 40-hour course, treat the provider final as seriously as the state exam— it is your practical gate to licensure.
- Read every question twice on multiple-choice exams; many misses come from misreading "except" or "best" questions.
- Get sleep the night before; Texas exams are long and endurance matters.
- Verify your testing-center profile name matches ID exactly.
