Sample Tennessee Property & Casualty Insurance License practice questions

A selection of free questions with answers and explanations. Use the interactive modules above for timed, scored drills.

A producer writes coverage on a family's personal-use pickup truck that is not operated for hire. Under T.C.A. § 56-5-102, this is classified as:

  1. Personal risk insurance on a private passenger vehicle ✓
  2. Commercial risk insurance because a truck is involved
  3. Inland marine coverage exempt from the rate filing rules
  4. A residual market risk assigned through a sharing plan

Why: T.C.A. § 56-5-102(7)(D) treats a personal-use pickup not used for hire as personal risk insurance — therefore personal risk is correct.

Under T.C.A. § 50-6-101, the current Workers' Compensation Law is controlling for claims when the date of injury is on or after what date?

  1. July 1, 2008
  2. July 1, 2014 ✓
  3. January 1, 2016
  4. July 1, 2020

Why: T.C.A. § 50-6-101 states the law is controlling for any workers' compensation claim when the date of injury is on or after July 1, 2014; claims with an earlier date of injury are governed by prior law — therefore July 1, 2014 is correct.

The standard CGL excludes liability for professional services. An architect, accountant, or doctor would address this gap with:

  1. A higher CGL aggregate
  2. Professional Liability / Errors & Omissions coverage ✓
  3. An umbrella only
  4. Medical payments coverage in that particular circumstance

Why: Professional services are excluded under the CGL and must be insured with a Professional Liability/E&O policy.

A first-time defendant shows the court that insurance was actually in effect on the date charged. Under T.C.A. § 55-12-139, the court?

  1. Must still impose the full fine
  2. May only reduce the fine by half
  3. Shall dismiss the charge without costs ✓
  4. Shall order a license suspension

Why: T.C.A. § 55-12-139(e)(1) requires dismissal without costs on a first violation where proof was in effect at the time — therefore the charge is dismissed.

Under T.C.A. § 56-7-801, the required inspection of a fire-insured building must be caused by:

  1. The company, its designee, or its agent within the period ✓
  2. The commissioner's office at the insurer's own expense
  3. The insured, who must submit photographs of the building
  4. An independent state fire marshal assigned to the risk

Why: T.C.A. § 56-7-801(a) directs the company, its designee, or its agent to cause the inspection — therefore that is correct.

A claimant asks an insurer for the forms needed to file a claim, and 25 days pass with nothing sent. Under T.C.A. § 56-8-105, the insurer has:

  1. Complied, because forms are due within thirty (30) days
  2. Complied, because no deadline applies to the claim forms
  3. Acted properly by awaiting a formal proof of loss first
  4. Violated the 15-day requirement for furnishing the forms ✓

Why: T.C.A. § 56-8-105(13) requires forms within fifteen calendar days, so 25 days is too long — therefore the insurer has violated the rule.

Which of the following best defines a "family member" under the PAP?

  1. Only minor children of the named insured
  2. A person related by blood, marriage, or adoption who is a resident of the named insured's household ✓
  3. Any blood relative regardless of residence

Why: A family member is a person related to the named insured by blood, marriage, or adoption who resides in the household, including a ward or foster child.

Under T.C.A. § 56-6-112, if the commissioner denies a license application, the applicant must be notified in writing within what time?

  1. Within ten (10) days
  2. Within thirty (30) days ✓
  3. Within sixty (60) days

Why: T.C.A. § 56-6-112(c) requires the commissioner to notify and advise the applicant in writing of a denial within thirty (30) days.

A bond guaranteeing that the contractor will pay subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers is a:

  1. Maintenance bond
  2. Performance bond
  3. Payment bond ✓
  4. Bid bond

Why: A payment bond guarantees that subcontractors and suppliers will be paid, protecting against liens.

Under T.C.A. § 56-8-104, disseminating an advertisement about the insurance business that is untrue, deceptive, or misleading is:

  1. Permitted if no policyholder actually relies on the ad
  2. Allowed for internet advertising outside of newspapers
  3. An issue only when a competitor files a formal complaint
  4. Prohibited false information and advertising under the act ✓

Why: T.C.A. § 56-8-104(2) prohibits false, deceptive, or misleading advertising about the insurance business — therefore it is prohibited.

A car-rental clerk sells optional collision coverage on rentals of 30 days. Under T.C.A. § 56-6-104, does this require a producer license?

  1. Yes, because any sale of insurance in this state requires a producer license
  2. No; rental staff selling optional coverage on short rentals are exempt ✓
  3. Yes, unless the clerk is at least eighteen years of age
  4. No, but only if the clerk first passes the P&C examination

Why: T.C.A. § 56-6-104(b)(9) exempts vehicle-rental staff who sell optional insurance incidental to a rental agreement not exceeding ninety (90) days.

  1. A clerical error by the insurer
  2. An ambiguous policy provision
  3. An honest mistake on the application unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  4. An intentional act of deception to induce the other party to part with something of value ✓

Why: Fraud is an intentional deception or misrepresentation made to gain an unfair or unlawful advantage.

Liability on a third-party claim is reasonably clear, yet the insurer makes no genuine effort to settle it promptly and fairly. Under T.C.A. § 56-8-105, the insurer has:

  1. Acted properly by protecting its insured from any payout
  2. Committed an unfair claims practice by not settling fairly ✓
  3. Complied, since prompt settlement is never legally required
  4. Done only what a reasonable adjuster is expected to attempt

Why: T.C.A. § 56-8-105(4) requires a good-faith effort to settle promptly and fairly once liability is reasonably clear — therefore the insurer committed an unfair practice.

Under T.C.A. § 56-5-207, when is an insurer NOT required to provide the credit-information disclosure statement?

  1. When the applicant is a business entity
  2. To an insured on a renewal policy if the consumer was previously provided a disclosure statement ✓
  3. When the policy limits are below a threshold unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  4. When the insurer uses a third-party vendor

Why: T.C.A. § 56-5-207(a) states the insurer need not provide the disclosure statement to any insured on a renewal policy if the consumer has previously been provided a disclosure statement — therefore that is correct.

  1. Within a reasonable time not to exceed fifteen days
  2. Within five business days of receipt
  3. Within sixty days of the producer's request

  1. Require rideshare coverage on every policy
  2. Charge a mandatory rideshare surcharge
  3. Exclude coverage while logged on to the network ✓
  4. Cancel mid-term without any notice

Why: T.C.A. § 56-7-1119(b) lets insurers exclude any and all coverage while a driver is logged on to a TNC digital network or on a prearranged ride — therefore exclude such coverage.

An 'impairment rating' in workers' compensation is used primarily to:

  1. Decide which state's law applies
  2. Measure the degree of permanent loss of function for benefit determination ✓
  3. Set the employer's premium classification
  4. Calculate the experience modification factor in that particular circumstance

Why: An impairment rating, often expressed as a percentage, measures the extent of permanent physical impairment and is used to determine permanent disability benefits.

Under T.C.A. § 55-12-114, the standard fee to restore a driver license after suspension or revocation is generally?

  1. $100 ✓
  2. $65
  3. $25
  4. $300

  1. Tennessee Insurance Guaranty Association Act ✓
  2. Tennessee Insurers Rehabilitation and Liquidation Act
  3. Tennessee Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act
  4. Tennessee Property and Casualty Rate Standards Act

Why: T.C.A. § 56-12-101 names the part the Tennessee Insurance Guaranty Association Act — therefore that title is correct.

  1. 0.04% ✓
  2. 0.08%
  3. 0.02%
  4. 0.06%

Why: T.C.A. § 50-6-110(c)(1) sets the threshold at 0.04% for safety-sensitive positions — therefore 0.04%.

Under T.C.A. § 55-12-141, while a rideshare driver is engaged in a prearranged ride, primary coverage must be at least?

  1. $500,000
  2. $1,000,000 ✓
  3. $250,000
  4. $100,000

Why: T.C.A. § 55-12-141(d) requires at least $1,000,000 of primary coverage during a prearranged ride — therefore $1,000,000.

  2. Prospectively for a period equal to the revocation ✓
  3. Only if she caused an at-fault accident
  4. Solely for the vehicle she primarily drives

Why: T.C.A. § 55-12-114(d)(1) requires proof of financial responsibility prospectively for a length of time equal to the suspension or revocation — therefore equal to the revocation.

  1. Only corporations chartered specifically for insurance
  2. Only insurers admitted and authorized in this state
  3. Any licensed insurance producer transacting the business of insurance

A claimant recovers on a covered claim from the association after the insurer's insolvency. Under T.C.A. § 56-12-110, that claimant is deemed to have:

  2. Retained full rights to sue the association for a larger sum
  3. Released the insolvent insurer's estate from all other claims
  4. Assigned rights under the policy to the association up to recovery ✓

  1. Peak season
  2. Business income
  3. Ordinance or Law ✓
  4. Utility services

Why: Ordinance or Law coverage pays for loss to the undamaged portion, demolition costs, and increased cost of construction to comply with current codes.

  1. Only the unpaid premium taxes on the business

Why: T.C.A. § 56-12-107(a)(1)(C)(ii) ends the obligation when $10,000,000 has been paid in the aggregate for a single insured and its affiliates — therefore $10 million is correct.
