Licensing Exam Information

Oregon insurance license applicants must pass a computerized license examination administered by PSI, a national testing firm. To schedule an exam date and time, you can call them toll-free at (800) 733-9267 or visit their website. You are encouraged to reserve your exam date at least three or four business days prior.

To schedule an exam, PSI will require the following:

• Personal information – legal name, address, phone, SSN, date of birth
• Exam specifics – exam type, preferred date and test center location
• School code – a 4-digit code on your course certificate of completion
• Failing score report (if retaking an exam)
• Exam fees paid in full

For more information, click here to visit PSI's website to access the PSI License Bulletin, which includes details of all licensing requirements, exam reservation guidelines, and a list of all PSI test center locations and hours of operation.

Upon arriving at the test center, you’ll need to show two pieces of ID (one photo-bearing) and course completion certificates to the test administrator. Then a brief online tutorial will familiarize you with the computerized testing system before you answer a series of multiple-choice questions.

If taken separately, the Life exam and the Health exam have 100 questions each. The Life and Health combined exam has 150 questions. The combined Property and Casualty exam has 150 questions. If taken separately, they have 100 questions each.

You will have plenty of time to complete the exam. The amount of time depends on how many exams you’re taking at a single sitting. If you take exams separately, you have 2 hours; if you take combined exams, you have 2-1/2 hours. Be sure to attempt to answer every question. A minimum score of 70% is required to pass all insurance exams. Your score will be available immediately. A passing score is valid for one year.
