Your IIC Principles and Practice of Insurance Questions, Answered
The C11 exam is the official exam behind the Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) credential from IIC. It sits at the Foundation / Introductory level of the IIC certification track. It is also associated with CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional), Associate in Insurance (A.I.). The GuideTorrent practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.
The C11 exam contains 50-60 questions questions and gives you 120 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the GuideTorrent test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.
You need 65% (typical) to pass the C11 exam, and the official registration fee is CAD $475 (approximate). A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed GuideTorrent practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.
