How the California Health Insurance exam compares

The California Health exam is 75 questions, 90 minutes, a 60% cut score. The examination fee is $55.

That 60% pass mark is below the 70% most states use. The content outline is no shorter, so the margin is more forgiving - the material is not.

It is shorter than the typical Health exam of about 100 questions, so each item carries more weight.

California requires 12 hours of prelicensing education before you can take the exam.

Study Tip

Don't just aim to pass a practice test once - retake it until you score comfortably above your state's passing mark two or three times in a row. Read the explanation after every question, even the ones you get right, to lock in the rule before exam day.
