Well, for exam purpose you need to know almost everything but when you would work in the field you would find that there are many things you can do-away with that you might have studied for the exam. The exam world and the real are ages apart.
Have you got an instructor to help you preparing for the examination? You may take some mock tests and review your performance. |

Study carefully about the different types of dwellings, types of homeowners/dwelling insurances, exclusions and the like.
I think Simon has given a very good suggestion, take practice tests it'd help you to identify the areas that would need improvement. If you miss a question in your practice exam, look-up for the answer. Best of luck for the test!!

Hi Ctapia, don't forget to learn the ethics and laws. It'd certainly constitute a significant portion of your test.
BTW, you are studying to become an agent, right? Since we all have assumed that but I see that you haven't mentioned such. |

First off, what do you study? I'm hoping that's out of frustration rather than a real, "I have no idea what's on the test so I'm asking all of you what I should study" question.
First off, we have no idea what license you're studying for. Next, we need to know the state you're in. Next, it would help if I knew who your educational provider is and if you went to a lecture class or did it online or through correspondence work.
You need to get a copy of your tests' content outline, and that depends on what state you're in. Once you know what company provides the test, click on one of the links below as one of those is most likely your test provider. The two most common testing companies are Pearson-Vue and Thompson-Prometric. Here are their links:
www.pearson-vue.com and www.prometric.com
Once there, click through and find the content outline specific to your test. You should have been provided this information by your educational provider as part of your package. If you're actually in a state that has no prelicense education requirements (there are a few of those) but still makes you pass a test- you're on your own but can still find training materials online. Let me know what your status is, and I can help you out.

Yes you must study carefully to get best result of your exam.
You need to know more about fire & causality insurance to get faster improvement in your by reading old to latest books of your subject as well as you can also participate in our community discussion to get more knowledge by our community experts Like tcope, Lori etc.
So you can get more knowledge on our forum by reading in knowledge bank.

Sorry, but NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!
You CANNOT study old material, the community discussions are NOT centered around the test, and reading industry material will only mess up the licensing candidate.
The tests are extremely specific as to content, weight, depth and study requirements. Only qualified prelicense training schools should go anywhere near prelicense candidates, and most of those should stay away as well.
Finally, we have NO IDEA WHAT EXAM THE OP IS TAKING!!! You'll all assuming P&C, when the fact is that twice as many candidates study for the life and health exam.
Until the OP actually responds, we can't answer his/her questions!!

nique1221, while I can appreciate your statement, it's been my experience that while Kaplan is huge is scope, their insurance materials are, at times, sadly lacking in test-centric knowledge.
For our new poster solecito- what state are you in?
