Hello Everyone, Thanks for all the great help and encouragement. I passed today. Not sure what I scored exactly, I guess I'll find that out in a few days but I did find out at the end of the exam that I at least passed. I was glad to see that as I thought that I would have to wait several days to fi...

I work in the claims department for an auto insurer, so this question will be for auto insurance companies. In the last few years, many of the major players have been taking severe hits to growth and profitability nationally. This has in part been fueled by lack of frequency of accidents which in tu...

Okay, so I am now less than two weeks away from taking my first CPCU class (CPCU 500). I've read the book twice from cover to cover and have read certain chapters even more than twice. I've gone through the review notes and have taken virtually every exam online. My exam is 3/5, from now until then,...

Well let me first applaud you in the fact that you have some idea of what you want to do when you are done with school. Most people do not. I know that when I was finished with school, I landed a job through a temp agency (back in 2001) at a life insurance company pulling staples out of paper and im...

While e-books may be a good option for some people. please please please do not take away the regular books. So many schools are doing that now and I can't stand it. Maybe I'm old school but there is nothing better than studying from an actual text, etc. I'm really surprised that they do not have au...

I agree AgencyEquity, I guess my point was also the fact that as the baby boomers get older and this new generation gets older, it can lead to decreased opportunities for Agencies to help this new generation becauase the new generation is so used to purchasing things such as personal auto online/dir...

Hello All, I work for an auto insurance company that also sells homeowners as well. All of our business is agent driven, virtually no direct business. It seems like as each year comes and goes, more and more people purchase especially auto insurance direct, leaving a diminishing window for agents. E...

Thanks for the response Victoria, I'm starting with CPCU 500. I scheduled my test for March 5. I thought that this would give me enough time since I only got my books last week, but now I'm sorry that I did not schedule it sooner. I've been putting in atleast an two hours of studying per day and it'...

Well I actually received my CPCU textbook and guides last night and was surprised at how thin the textbook is. It's about half the size of an average CLU textbook, not saying that it's not hard but.... It seems like everywhere I read online people are saying how very hard the CPCU exams are and so I...

Hello Everyone, Was wondering if there is anyone out there that has their CLU and CPCU that can chime in...I have my CLU and am now starting my trek on to my CPCU, I'll have to take 6 classes (because I have my CLU and FLMI, 2 classes can be excused). How much harder if any are the CPCU classes comp...
