Free Connecticut Personal Lines Practice Exam Online

Correct answer: A. Authority to sell, solicit, or negotiate personal property and casualty insurance products, such as personal auto and homeowners insurance, for individuals and families

Correct. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-702b establishes personal lines as a distinct, narrower line of authority focused on personal (as opposed to commercial) property and casualty products such as personal auto and homeowners insurance.

• B: Full commercial P&C authority, including CGL and commercial auto, requires the broader property and casualty line, not the narrower personal lines authority.
• C: Life insurance is an entirely separate line of authority from personal lines property and casualty products.
• D: Accident and health insurance is a separate line of authority; it is not part of the personal lines P&C authority.

Correct answer: B. Decline to place the commercial coverage under the personal lines authority alone, because commercial risks fall outside the personal lines scope and require full property and casualty authority

Correct. Because commercial risks such as a business's CGL and BOP coverage fall outside the personal lines scope, a producer holding only personal lines authority should not place that business under that license and instead needs full property and casualty authority (or refer the business to a producer who holds it).

• A: Personal lines authority is scoped to personal, not commercial, property and casualty products; it does not broadly cover any risk type.
• C: General liability coverage in a commercial context is a commercial line, not a personal line, so personal lines authority does not extend to it simply because 'liability' is involved.
• D: A license does not automatically convert or expand in scope; the producer would need to separately obtain the property and casualty line of authority through the normal licensing process.

Correct answer: C. The standard 24-hour total CE requirement per compliance period, with at least 6 of those hours tied to the personal lines authority and at least 3 hours in Connecticut law/ethics

Correct. Personal lines producers fall under Connecticut's standard CE structure: 24 total hours per compliance period, with at least 6 hours tied to each held line of authority (including personal lines) and at least 3 hours in Connecticut law/regulations or ethics.

• A: Personal lines producers are subject to Connecticut's standard CE requirement; the line of authority is not exempt from continuing education.
• B: There is no separate 100-hour annual figure specific to personal lines; Connecticut's CE structure is the standard 24-hour-per-period framework.
• D: CE is required each two-year compliance period, not merely once every ten years.

Correct answer: D. A one-time 3-credit-hour NFIP flood insurance course

Correct. Effective April 15, 2026, newly licensed Connecticut resident producers holding Personal Lines (as well as Property/Casualty) authority must complete a one-time, 3-credit-hour NFIP flood insurance course.

• A: The new requirement is a 3-hour flood insurance course, not a 6-hour ethics course.
• B: Connecticut did add this new one-time requirement specifically for newly licensed Property/Casualty and Personal Lines producers.
• C: The new requirement concerns flood insurance, not variable annuities, which is a securities-related life/annuity topic unrelated to personal lines property coverage.

Correct answer: C. Every two years, under the same renewal framework that applies to other producer lines of authority

Correct. Personal lines licenses follow Connecticut's standard two-year renewal cycle under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 38a-784, the same framework applicable to other producer lines of authority.

• A: Connecticut's renewal cycle for producer licenses, including personal lines, is not annual.
• B: Five years overstates Connecticut's actual two-year renewal cycle.
• D: The personal lines license is not permanent; like other producer licenses, it must be actively renewed every two years.
