Licensing Exam Information

Pennsylvania insurance license applicants must pass a computerized license examination administered by Prometric, a national testing firm. To schedule an exam date and time, you can call them toll-free at (800) 715-2418 or visit www.prometric.com. You are encouraged to reserve your exam date at least three or four business days prior.

To schedule an exam, Prometric will require the following:

• Personal information – legal name, address, phone, SSN, date of birth
• Exam specifics – exam type, preferred date and test center location
• Failing score report (if retaking an exam)
• Exam fees paid in full

Scheduled test dates vary widely by location.

Upon arriving at the test center, you’ll need to show two pieces of ID (one photo-bearing) and your prelicense education certificate 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.

At the end of your exam, your score will be shown on the screen and you will receive a printed score report. The report indicates your overall score and grade including the numerical percentage of questions answered correctly and whether you passed or failed.
