Overview of the Illinois State Exam
The Illinois public adjuster license examination probes knowledge in four principal areas:
The exam is developed and administered by a private company called Pearson VUE that has multiple exam centers. The examination presents 100 multiple questions to the test-taker randomly, drawing from a large database of questions.
While some questions involve simple memory of certain terms, most questions require the test taker to think, using a good understanding of basic insurance concepts, specific property coverages and Illinois insurance laws.
The exam fee is $100 and a 70% score is required for passing. You’ll choose the date, time, and location of the Illinois exam. You will have 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete the exam. English and Spanish versions of the exam are available.
Written results are presented to exam-takers before they leave the exam center. An exam-taker who fails the exam the first try can re-test after 7 days; if they fail two or more times, they must wait 30 days to re-test.
To sit for your examination, you will need to register with Pearson VUE and schedule an exam at any one of its many testing centers. You can also view and download a license candidate handbook that will provide more information about your exam and other state licensing exams.
