Frequently asked questions
Does Arizona require state-approved prelicensing education?
No. Arizona does not mandate prelicensing education for the Public Adjuster license - passing the exam is what qualifies you. Exam prep alone is sufficient.
Is the practice exam built to the real Arizona exam's format?
Yes. Our practice questions and final exam are weighted to match Prometric Series 13-36 eff. 2020-01-22, section by section - not a generic national blueprint with a state label on it.
