Every exam has a shape. Study the shape.
The TX P&C exam splits roughly into national concepts and Texas law. The diagnostic weights your study time toward the columns where you're bleeding points.
| Topic block | What it covers | Why it bites |
|---|---|---|
| General insurance concepts | Risk, hazard vs. peril, indemnity, insurable interest, subrogation, negligence | The vocabulary the whole test speaks — shaky here, shaky everywhere |
| Property insurance | HO and DP forms, dwelling coverage, coinsurance math, ACV vs. replacement cost | Coinsurance penalties and HO-form differences are point factories |
| Casualty & liability | CGL, business auto, workers' comp, bonds, negligence elements | "EXCEPT" questions — four right-looking answers, one wrong word |
| Texas law & ethics | Licensing, unfair trade practices (rebating, twisting), fiduciary duties, TDI rules | The section that fails people who only studied coverage — 70% here too |
