How many questions are on the Texas all-lines adjuster exam?
150 scoreable questions. The outline lists no pretest questions. [Texas outline p.20]
How long is the Texas adjuster exam?
150 minutes. [Texas handbook p.19]
What score do you need to pass?
A scaled score of 70. The reported score is neither the number of questions you answered correctly nor the percentage of questions you answered correctly. [Texas handbook p.16]
How much does the Texas adjuster exam cost?
The October 2024 Pearson VUE candidate handbook lists $49 for the All Lines adjuster exam in English or Spanish. The license application to TDI is a separate $50. [Texas handbook p.19] [TDI]
Where do I take it?
At a Pearson VUE test center, reserved with Pearson VUE. Walk-in exams are not available, and you pay when you reserve, not at the test center. [Texas handbook p.11] [Texas handbook p.12]
Do I have to take the exam?
Not if you finished a TDI-approved course in adjusting losses within the last 12 months, your license expired more than 90 days but less than a year ago, you live outside Texas and hold a license in good standing in a reciprocal state, or you hold the chartered property and casualty underwriter or associate in claims designation. [TDI]
Can I retake it if I fail?
Yes. You can schedule a new exam within one day, and there is no limit to the number of attempts on the same exam. [Texas handbook p.15]
How long after passing do I have to apply for the license?
One year. Apply online through Sircon within one year of passing, or you will need to retake the exam. [TDI]
What ID do I need on exam day?
Two forms of current identification with your signature. The primary one must be government-issued with your photo, and the name must exactly match your registration. [Texas handbook p.14]
Is the Texas adjuster exam offered in Spanish?
Yes. Tell Pearson VUE when you reserve. Candidates taking the Spanish version can switch between Spanish and English at any time during the exam. [Texas handbook p.13]
How old do I have to be?
At least 18 to sit the exam, and 18 is also the age the Insurance Code requires for the license. [Texas handbook p.11] [Tex. Ins. Code §4101.053]
Does Texas offer a temporary adjuster license?
No temporary license is offered for the all lines adjuster license. A 90-day emergency license is offered. [TDI]
