The Arkansas Insurance Department's combined Property and Casualty producer licensing examination (including commercial lines) is a 160-question, 210-minute PSI-delivered computer-based examination with a 70% minimum passing score.

Where rules vary

This is the Arkansas state insurance producer licensing examination for the combined property and casualty lines (including commercial lines); its state-specific outline section tests Arkansas law (Arkansas Code Title 23 and related rules) and passing it qualifies the applicant for an Arkansas producer license

Eligibility

Retake policy
