Why Rocket Adjuster?
We want you to succeed in your public adjusting career.
But first things first - in most states, you need a license. And that means passing the challenging state exam.
That's where we come in.
Each state publicizes an official outline of what will be on the exam -- for example, you can find New York's exam outline on p. 53 of this bulletin, released by PSI (the exam provider). Some of it is NY state statutes, a lot of it is general insurance terminology and industry information.
We take that exam outline and research everything on it. We study insurance law, do outside research, and talk to experts.
Then, we organize everything you need to know in an easy-to-understand format. The goal is to make the complicated insurance information as simple and straightforward as possible. We add examples, visuals, and quiz questions to help you retain the information.
So that you can crush the state exam.
And be on your way.
So what are you waiting for?

If you are trying to get licensed in a another state that does not have a pre-licensing requirement, we recommend our exam prep course.

New York Public Adjuster FAQs
Is the New York public adjuster exam hard?
New York is known for their difficult insurance exams. And the public adjuster exam is no different. It is challenging, but it is very manageable with proper preparation. The exam tests your understanding of New York insurance laws, policy language, ethics, and real-world claim scenarios.
Most candidates who purchase a course from a proven provider like Rocket Adjuster, use a structured study plan, and who work until they regularly achieve 90% practice exams can feel confident going into the state exam.
With focused study and repetition, passing is absolutely achievable.
How long should I study for the NY public adjuster exam?
Most candidates study between 2 to 6 weeks, depending on their schedule and prior experience.
If you are new to insurance concepts, allow more time to:
- Learn key definitions
- Understand New York regulations
- Practice scenario-based questions
Consistent daily study sessions (30–60 minutes) are more effective than cramming or studying one day a week for hours at a time. The key is steady repetition and timed practice exams.
What topics are covered on the NY public adjuster exam?
The New York public adjuster licensing exam typically covers:
- New York insurance laws and regulations
- Policy structure and coverage types
- Claim handling procedures
- Ethics and professional conduct
- Responsibilities of a licensed public adjuster
Pro Tip: The exam focuses on applying knowledge, not just memorizing definitions.
While no one knows the specific questions the exam includes, Rocket Adjuster's course was developed according to the testing guidelines as set by the state of New York.
What happens if you fail the New York public adjuster exam?
If you do not pass the exam, you can retake it after a required waiting period.
Many successful public adjusters did not pass on their first attempt. The best approach is to:
- Review weak topic areas
- Take additional timed practice exams
- Focus on question interpretation and vocabulary
Treat the first attempt as feedback, not failure. If you're struggling with topics or concepts, give us a call or send us an email. We're happy to help.
