Re: Property and Casualty Exam Tips

Invest in a good test prep program with unlimited practice exams. Plenty of them to choose from. Find one that fits your style of learning. Know your stuff. Go to the real exam rested and ready. It's not hard to pass. The next step, after you pass the exam, is continuing to hone that expertise.
