California insurance licensing exam prep

Study for California's Life & Health exams against CDI's real blueprints.

California offers three separate paths to a Life, Accident and Health license: a standalone Life exam, a standalone Accident and Health exam, and one combined exam that covers both lines at once. LicensePath maps every category on all three of CDI's real blueprints, so your practice time matches whichever path you choose.

Exam snapshot

What the real California exams look like.

3 exams Life, Accident and Health, and the combined Life, Accident and Health or Sickness exam, each independently scoreable
PSI Official testing vendor for the California Department of Insurance (CDI)
371 California practice questions drafted in our content bank, currently in review
Exam weight by area, combined Life & Health exam
150 scored Qs
  • Life insurance content: 43% (64 of 150 combined)
  • Health insurance content: 45% (68 of 150 combined)
  • California statutes & regulations: 12% (18 of 150 combined)

This is the real, fixed weighting for the combined Life, Accident and Health or Sickness exam, built from CDI's own Life-Only and Accident and Health prelicensing objectives plus PSI's California Candidate Information Bulletin.

Blueprint categories

All three real CA exams, mapped from CDI & PSI's own content outlines.

CDI's own outline doesn't split into Pearson VUE's national category template the way most other states do. Each California exam groups its content into a product-knowledge section and a state-law section covering producer licensing and policy replacement rules, and LicensePath's blueprint mirrors that same structure for California Life, California Accident and Health, and the combined exam.

California Life

75 scored · 105 min
  1. Life: Types of Policies, Riders, Contracts & Concepts85%
  2. California Statutes, Rules & Regulations (Life)15%

California Accident and Health

California Life, Accident and Health (Combined)

  1. Life: Types of Policies, Riders, Contracts & Concepts43%
  2. Health: Medical Expense, Disability & Long-Term Care45%
  3. California Statutes, Rules & Regulations12%

Percentages are each category's real share of its own exam's scored questions, per CDI's Life-Only and Accident and Health Prelicensing Education Educational Objectives and PSI's California Candidate Information Bulletin. All three exams require a 60% correct score to pass.

Why sourcing matters

Built from CDI's own prelicensing objectives and PSI's bulletin, not guesses.

Every California question in LicensePath is sourced from the California Department of Insurance's own Prelicensing Education Educational Objectives for the Life-Only and Accident and Health exams, fetched directly from insurance.ca.gov, then cross-checked against PSI's Candidate Information Bulletin for California before it's approved for release.

Curious how state exam blueprints are built, or why every practice question carries a citation? Two short guides cover both: what's actually on your state's insurance exam and why we cite every practice question.
