The Conquer the Exam in Under 90 Minutes series is the original audiobook-first exam prep solution. These guides are built for focus and efficiency, so you can master the essentials quickly without wasting time on filler.

What sets this audiobook study guide apart is what it is not. It is not a drawn-out textbook hundreds of pages long. It is not filled with practice questions that do not work in audio format. And it is not a generic guide with “California” dropped into the title but no real alignment with the actual state exam.

Instead, this guide is a fast, targeted review of the most important topics you are likely to see on the California Independent Insurance Adjuster Exam. It is built directly on the official California Department of Insurance educational objectives, ensuring every chapter matches the content the test actually covers.

Coverage includes:
• California Insurance Adjuster Act, licensing requirements, bonds, and disciplinary rules
• Special Investigative Unit (SIU) regulations, fraud prevention, and reporting duties
• Core insurance principles: indemnity, insurable interest, perils, hazards, and adverse selection
• Insurance contracts, policy structure, declarations, conditions, exclusions, and endorsements
