P & C best practice test/materials

[fed up]

When you take your exam, answer the questions you are sure of, go back and answer others with your first, best guess. Do not overthink any question. And do not go back and change any answer

I appreciate the advice. I ended up passing the first try. I'm excited to see what changes a career in insurance brings, as I've been mostly in the banking world.

Awesome Work! So what advice to newbies regarding studying do you have?
Was it harder or easier or were the questions unexpected?

Study in small chunks, make sure to do little each day. It was a little harder than expected, I'm in Ohio. And last don't wait too long after your class to take it. Take it as soon as you can.

Are you a CSR/Account manager or a producer?

Either way, my main piece of advice would be to not give up. It will be challenging, and there will always be something you don't know. Stay humble and don't be afraid to admit you don't know something, either to fellow agents or customers. You can always hit them with the old trusty "I don't know, but I will find out"

My second piece of advice would be to internally evaluate those around you. Are these people who are backing you up, mentoring you, making time for your development, and sharing in the success? Or are these people who are using you as a cog in their machine purely to squeeze you dry and drive additional profit for themselves? In the P&C insurance world, those relationships will be pivotal to your long term satisfaction and success.
