Preparing for the Exam
The Department of Insurance does not have pre-licensing study materials. You may use the materials of your choosing to study for the license exam. Many different providers offer exam prep courses and because of the number and array of methods the department does not review, approve, or recommend providers.
To locate an education provider, we suggest you try searching the internet using the phrase, "Nebraska insurance pre-licensing."
A good study tool is the Exam Content Outlines. Each exam outline is broken down into specific topics and the percentage of questions covered for each topic.
The Candidate Information Bulletin is a great source for testing information. It includes information on scheduling your exam, testing centers regulations, the testing process, and test fees.
Practice Exams are available through PSI, Nebraska's exam testing vendor. For more information, please visit the PSI website.
