Oregon life insurance exam: format, questions, and passing score
The Oregon life insurance producer exam is administered by PSI Services LLC. It contains 100 scored questions, you have 120 minutes to complete it, and you need a 70% score to pass. Results are delivered on screen immediately when you submit.
Question topics typically cover life insurance products and concepts, annuities, Oregon statutes and rules, and ethics and producer responsibilities. Calculators are provided on screen and you may not bring your own.
If you fail, the retake policy is approximately 2 calendar days. You will pay the $45 fee on each attempt. Most candidates who fail the first attempt pass on the second after focused review of Oregon-specific statutes and product suitability.
How many hours of pre-licensing are required in Oregon?
Oregon requires 20 hours of approved pre-licensing education for the resident life producer license. Courses must be completed through a state-approved provider and verify seat time so you cannot skip ahead.
Most TPG agents finish the 20-hour course in 3 to 7 days studying part-time. Plan on 3 to 5 hours per day if you want to compress the timeline, or spread it across 2 weeks if you are working full-time.
Of the total, 3 hours of ethics content is required as part of the curriculum.
How long does it take to get a Oregon insurance license?
The typical timeline from registration to license-in-hand is 3 to 6 weeks in Oregon.
Week 1-2: complete pre-licensing (20 hours required). Week 2-3: schedule and pass the PSI Services LLC exam. Week 2-3: submit the Oregon license application and complete fingerprinting through Submitted through PSI test centers. Week 3-6: the state reviews the application and issues the license, usually within 7 to 14 business days of receiving cleared fingerprints.
The two variables that slow most people down are study pace and how quickly fingerprinting can be scheduled in your area.

Selling Insurance in Oregon
What the Oregon insurance market actually looks like for new agents, from a remote-first agency that writes business here every week.
Oregon is a Pacific Northwest market with strong middle-market term and whole life demand. The Price Group writes business across the state, with most agent activity concentrated in Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Gresham. Because TPG runs a fully remote, telesales-first model, Oregon agents work from home and serve every county on the map, not just their local metro. Final expense is the entry product most Oregon agents start with because lead flow is consistent and average premium fits a wide range of senior budgets, and term, whole life, and Medicare Supplement cross-sells follow naturally as the book matures.
