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

Under § 38.2-309, statements, declarations, and descriptions in an application for an insurance policy are deemed to be:

  1. Representations, not warranties ✓
  2. Conditions precedent to coverage
  3. Binding admissions against the insured
  4. Warranties that void the policy if inaccurate

Why: Section 38.2-309 provides that all statements, declarations, and descriptions in an application (or in an application for reinstatement) are deemed representations and not warranties, and no such statement bars recovery unless clearly proved to be material to the risk and untrue.

Under § 38.2-1817, the prescribed examination fee must be set within what range?

  1. Exactly $75
  2. Not less than $50 nor more than $200
  3. Not less than $20 nor more than $100 ✓
  4. Not less than $10 nor more than $50

Why: Section 38.2-1817(D) provides the prescribed examination fee shall not be less than $20 nor more than $100, and it is nonrefundable.

  1. At least 30 days before it is due ✓
  2. At least 60 days before it is due
  3. At least 90 days before it is due

When permanent-partial scheduled benefits under § 65.2-503 are paid simultaneously with temporary partial benefits under § 65.2-502, each combined payment counts against the 500-week maximum as:

  1. One-half week
  2. Two weeks ✓
  3. One week
  4. It does not count against the maximum

Why: Section 65.2-503(E)(2) provides that where such payments are made simultaneously, each combined payment counts as two weeks against the total maximum allowable period of 500 weeks.

Equipment Breakdown (Boiler and Machinery) coverage primarily insures loss caused by:

  1. Sudden mechanical or electrical breakdown of covered equipment such as boilers and pressure vessels ✓
  2. Flood
  3. Fire spreading from outside unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force according to the insurer's rules
  4. Theft of equipment

Why: Equipment Breakdown coverage responds to sudden and accidental breakdown of pressure, mechanical, and electrical equipment, including resulting damage—exposures excluded by standard property forms.

A new NFIP flood policy generally does not take effect until how many days after the application and premium are submitted?

  1. 10 days
  2. 60 days
  3. 30 days ✓
  4. 15 days

Why: The NFIP imposes a standard 30-day waiting period before a new flood policy becomes effective, to discourage buying coverage only when a flood is imminent.

In ocean marine, Freight coverage protects:

  1. Port fees
  2. The cargo owner's profit unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  3. The crew's salaries
  4. The shipowner's loss of earnings/freight revenue if cargo is not delivered ✓

Why: Freight insurance covers the shipowner's potential loss of freight income (the money earned for transporting cargo) if a covered loss prevents delivery.

In an OCCURRENCE form, coverage is triggered by:

  1. The date the claim is first reported to the insurer unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  2. The date bodily injury or property damage occurs during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is made ✓
  3. The retroactive date
  4. The date the policy is cancelled

Why: An occurrence policy responds to injury or damage that takes place during the policy period, no matter when the claim is reported.

With auto liability split limits of 50/100/25, the maximum total paid for bodily injury to all persons in one accident is:

  1. $25,000
  2. $100,000 ✓
  3. $150,000
  4. $50,000

Why: The second number (100) is the per-accident bodily injury limit: $100,000.

Under § 38.2-1834.1(A), if an insurer terminates an agent's relationship for a reason set forth in § 38.2-1831, the insurer must certify the reason in writing to the Commission within:

  1. 60 calendar days in that particular circumstance
  2. 30 calendar days following the termination ✓
  3. 15 calendar days
  4. 45 calendar days

Why: Section 38.2-1834.1(A) requires the insurer to certify in writing to the Commission the reason for a for-cause termination within 30 calendar days following the termination.

Under § 38.2-618, a person who discloses information in accordance with the privacy article generally has immunity from a defamation or invasion-of-privacy action, EXCEPT when the person:

  1. Acts negligently in good faith unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  2. Uses electronic format
  3. Charges a copying fee
  4. Discloses or furnishes false information with malice or willful intent to injure ✓

Why: Section 38.2-618 grants immunity from defamation, invasion of privacy, or negligence causes of action for disclosing information in accordance with the article, but provides no immunity for disclosing or furnishing false information with malice or willful intent to injure.

  1. Hail damage to the roof
  2. Collision with another car
  3. Theft of the entire vehicle under the policy's terms

Why: Part D excludes losses due to wear and tear, freezing, mechanical or electrical breakdown, and road damage to tires (unless caused by another covered peril like theft).

  1. Crop insurance subsidies
  2. Terrorism reinsurance
  3. Civil penalties and injunctive relief that the U.S. Attorney General may pursue for violations of Section 1033 ✓
  4. Federal flood insurance funding unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force according to the insurer's rules

Filing a written 30-day notice of accident with the employer under § 65.2-600 and filing a claim with the Commission under § 65.2-601 are best described as:

  1. The same single requirement
  2. Two distinct requirements, each with its own deadline ✓
  3. Optional steps the employee may skip in most situations
  4. Requirements only for death claims

Why: They are separate requirements: § 65.2-600 requires 30-day written notice to the employer, while § 65.2-601 requires filing a claim with the Commission within two years.

Under the NFIP Write-Your-Own (WYO) program:

  1. FEMA sells flood policies directly to consumers only
  2. Banks issue flood policies to mortgagors
  3. Private insurers underwrite flood on their own paper and retain the risk unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  4. Private insurers sell and service NFIP policies under their own names while the federal government backs the risk ✓

Why: Under the WYO program, participating private insurers issue and service standard NFIP policies in their own names, but the federal government bears the underwriting risk.

Compensation for permanent and total incapacity under § 65.2-503(C) (for example, total paralysis or a severe brain injury) continues for:

  1. A maximum of 500 weeks
  2. The lifetime of the injured employee, without limit as to total amount ✓
  3. A maximum of 700 weeks
  4. Ten years from the date of injury unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force

Why: Section 65.2-500(D) provides that compensation for permanent and total incapacity defined in § 65.2-503(C) continues for the lifetime of the injured employee without limit as to total amount.

Under § 38.2-1831, which is an enumerated ground for license action relating to an agent's handling of funds?

  1. Improperly withholding, misappropriating, or converting moneys received in the course of insurance business ✓
  2. Holding excess continuing education credits unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  3. Charging interest on premium loans
  4. Maintaining a separate fiduciary account

Why: Section 38.2-1831(6) lists improperly withholding, misappropriating, or converting any moneys or properties received in the course of doing insurance business as a ground for license action.

Under § 38.2-1826(D), the license authority of a resident agent terminates immediately when:

  1. He fails to complete continuing education unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  2. He moves his residence from the Commonwealth, whether or not the Commission has been notified ✓
  3. He surrenders one of several licenses
  4. His appointment is terminated

Why: Section 38.2-1826(D) provides that a resident agent's license authority terminates immediately when the agent moves his residence from the Commonwealth, regardless of notice to the Commission.

Under § 38.2-516, an insurer generally may not pay a commission to an appointed agent who replaces an existing individual accident and sickness policy with a substantially similar policy from the same insurer, except that it may pay compensation not exceeding:

  1. The renewal commission that would have been paid had the replaced policy continued in force ✓
  2. Twice the renewal commission
  3. The full first-year commission unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  4. Any amount the insurer chooses

Why: Section 38.2-516 prohibits paying a commission for intra-company replacement of a substantially similar individual accident and sickness policy, except to the extent the compensation does not exceed the renewal commission that would have been paid had the replaced policy continued in force.

Sara carries 100/300 UIM limits in Virginia. She is injured by an at-fault driver who has the state-minimum 50/100 bodily-injury liability. Sara's damages are $120,000. Absent any signed reduction election, how much can she potentially collect in total?

  1. $50,000 (the at-fault driver's per-person limit only)
  2. $70,000 — the difference between her UIM and the liability limit
  3. $100,000 (her UIM per-person limit only)
  4. Her damages up to her UIM limit, with no reduction for the liability paid ✓

Why: Because Virginia's default UIM is paid without credit for available liability coverage, Sara can recover her full $120,000 loss: the $50,000 liability plus UIM up to her $100,000 per-person limit, which together exceed the damages.

What is the primary purpose of a coinsurance clause in commercial property insurance?

  1. To limit the deductible
  2. To encourage insureds to carry insurance close to the property's full value ✓
  3. To exclude catastrophic perils
  4. To require the insurer to share losses with reinsurers under the policy's terms

Why: Coinsurance encourages insureds to insure to value; if they underinsure below the required percentage, the loss payment is reduced proportionally.

Saying that a property insurance contract is personal means that it:

  1. Can only be sold to individuals, not businesses unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  2. Covers only personal property
  3. Must be signed in person
  4. Insures a person, not the property itself, and generally cannot be transferred without the insurer's consent ✓

Why: A personal contract insures the individual against loss, not the property; it cannot be assigned to another party without the insurer's consent.

Which describes the typical underwriting attitude of a surety toward the principal?

  1. The surety expects frequent losses
  2. The surety ignores the principal's finances unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force according to the insurer's rules
  3. The surety insures the obligee's solvency
  4. The surety underwrites the principal's character, capacity, and capital expecting NO loss, similar to a credit decision ✓

Why: Surety underwriting evaluates the principal's character, capacity, and capital like a credit risk, anticipating no loss because the principal must indemnify the surety.

In insurance, exposure refers to:

  1. The maximum policy limit
  2. The amount of the deductible
  3. A unit of measure to determine the rate charged unless an exception clearly applies for the coverage that is in force
  4. A condition or situation that presents a possibility of loss, whether or not it occurs ✓

Why: Exposure is a condition presenting a possibility of loss; it may or may not result in an actual loss.

If the insured fails to render proof of loss, under the mortgagee clause the mortgagee, upon notice, must render proof of loss within how many days thereafter?

  1. 90 days
  2. 60 days ✓
  3. 45 days
  4. 30 days

Why: The mortgagee provision requires the mortgagee, upon notice, to render proof of loss within sixty days thereafter and be subject to the appraisal, payment, and suit provisions.

An insurer decides not to renew a Virginia auto policy at expiration for underwriting reasons. How much advance notice of nonrenewal must it provide?

  1. 60 days
  2. 15 days
  3. 45 days ✓
  4. 30 days

Why: A refusal to renew must state an effective date at least 45 days after the notice is mailed or delivered to the insured.

Under § 38.2-1822, an individual or business entity conducting insurance business under an assumed or fictitious name must notify the Bureau of Insurance within how many days from the date the name is adopted (if not filed with the application)?

  1. 15 calendar days
  2. 45 calendar days
  3. 30 calendar days ✓
  4. 60 calendar days

Why: Section 38.2-1822(E) requires notice to the Bureau either when the license application is filed or within 30 calendar days from the date the assumed or fictitious name is adopted.

Under § 38.2-615, the date set for a hearing after the Commission serves a statement of charges and notice of hearing must be at least:

  1. Twenty days after service
  2. Ten days after the date of service ✓
  3. Five days after service
  4. Thirty days after service

Why: Section 38.2-615(A) provides that the date for the hearing shall be at least ten days after the date of service of the statement of charges and notice of hearing.

Which federal law would a producer most likely consult to determine whether a previously convicted individual may lawfully work in the insurance business?

  1. The CAN-SPAM Act
  2. The Fair Credit Reporting Act
  3. 18 U.S.C. §§ 1033 and 1034 ✓
  4. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act

Why: 18 U.S.C. 1033 and 1034 govern whether persons convicted of crimes involving dishonesty may engage in the business of insurance and the penalties for violations.

Under § 38.2-301, for individuals related closely by blood or by law, "insurable interest" means:

  1. Any interest, including one arising from the death of the insured
  2. A creditor-debtor relationship
  3. A lawful and substantial economic interest only
  4. A substantial interest engendered by love and affection ✓

Why: Section 38.2-301(B)(1) defines insurable interest, for individuals related closely by blood or by law, as a substantial interest engendered by love and affection. For other persons, it is a lawful and substantial economic interest in the life, health, and bodily safety of the insured.
