  • What education package is best for me?

    At the Ohio School of Insurance, we know that there's no one-size-fits-all solution for preparing for your licensing exam. You know you. That's why we offer various options to fit your lifestyle and schedule. Compare our study packages of Live In Person, Zoom Online, OR Self Study options. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further guidance.

  • Do I need to study before class?

    Requirements vary by state and each state may require additional study hours beyond the live class you are scheduled for. Remember our course content is designed to help you pass the state licensing exams and not teach you the entire insurance industry. Our instructors assume students are not hearing and seeing the material for the first time when class begins. Also by studying the content prior to the actual course it will allow you to enhance your learning experience with greater ease.

  • How do I know what is on the actual state exam?

    You technically will not know the exact questions on the exam. Be careful not to memorize questions but understand the concepts. The test provider PSI Exams (See Exam Content Outline under the "Exam Process" tab on our website) publishes an exam content outline that contains a list of the exam subjects used to develop the test questions. The actual questions that appear on the state exam are not available to a candidate, or to any test provider.

  • Is it difficult for me to pass the state exam? How long does this process usually take?

    These exams are not overly difficult (if you prepare and study) BUT not overly easy as well. Exam preparation time varies greatly, from a few weeks to several months. Candidates may take longer or shorter, depending on their education level, experience in the industry, and other time commitments (e.g., full-time job, family commitments, etc.). Our goal is to help you minimize this time commitment. We emphasize creating a plan of action to pass the exam. If you prepare, study, and plan we are confident this will translate into successfully passing the actual state exam.

  • Is the Ohio School of Insurance exam prep content approved by the State of Ohio?
