Your next step appears here. The complete delivery rules and sources are in the guide below.
New York has its own delivery policy
The PSI New York insurance bulletin includes both test-center and remote-proctored formats. Its publicly available edition is dated April 28, 2023; we checked it October 24, 2026. Use the New York scheduling portal to confirm the options for the examination you actually intend to take. An older document's continued availability does not guarantee a particular date or seat.
This is an insurance programme administered for the Department of Financial Services. It should not be confused with the New York real estate examination, which uses a different agency and booking process. Likewise, Florida's insurance delivery change is not evidence that New York remote testing has ended. Always check the state, profession and examination together.
Choose the setting you can control
Remote testing removes travel but makes the candidate responsible for a suitable computer, connection and private room. A center transfers much of the equipment setup to the test site, while adding travel and arrival planning. Neither setting makes the content easier.
| Your situation | Practical next step |
|---|---|
| Shared room or likely interruptions | Compare a center appointment before committing to remote |
| Reliable private room and compatible computer | Test the setup, then review remote rules |
| Work-managed computer | Check whether required software can run before paying |
| Need for breaks or an accommodation | Contact PSI about arrangements before selecting a format |
A home office that works for video meetings is not automatically ready for a secure examination. Try the actual system check on the actual machine. A successful check on another laptop or at another address does not test your proposed setup.
Remote rules change how you rehearse
The bulletin prohibits breaks and scratch paper during remote examinations. It also requires appropriate camera visibility, lighting and connection, and prohibits changing computers or spaces during the exam. Follow current vendor instructions if they differ from an older checklist.
Prepare the room before the launch window. Tell other occupants the space must remain private. If a technical problem occurs, follow PSI support and proctor directions rather than improvising a move to a different device. Resolve accommodation needs through the official process; a practice website cannot approve an exception.
For study, try an uninterrupted set without relying on written notes. Afterwards, review the reasoning behind missed answers. This exercise is a preparation suggestion, not a replication of PSI's secure testing software.
Book the correct examination
Start from the New York insurance portal rather than a generic PSI search. Confirm the licence line, legal name, delivery format, date and time before payment. Keep the confirmation and read its identification instructions. Do not assume that requirements used for another professional exam carry over.
If this is a retake, use the New York failure guide for results processing and preparation. Switching delivery mode may solve a room or travel problem; it will not repair a gap in policy knowledge.
Keep education separate from practice
New York DFS controls licensing and education requirements. EstatePass is not DFS-approved PE and is not PSI or a test center. Practice cannot supply an official course certificate, approve examination eligibility or issue a licence.
Begin with the New York insurance hub to choose Life and Health, Property and Casualty or Personal Lines. Use the diagnostic to identify topics worth reviewing before you reserve a seat. Your aim is a defensible answer to an unfamiliar scenario, not just a high score on a memorised set.
Pause. Apply. Understand.

Questions, answered.
Can I take New York insurance remotely?
The publicly available PSI bulletin offers remote and center formats. Confirm the option for your exact examination in the NY portal.
Is the bulletin newly published in 2026?
No. The accessible bulletin is dated April 28, 2023 and was checked October 24, 2026. Review current scheduling instructions as well.
Can I take a break remotely?
The bulletin prohibits breaks in remote exams. Discuss accommodation needs with PSI before booking.
Can I use scratch paper remotely?
The remote rules prohibit scratch paper. Do not transfer center rules to a home appointment.
Does Florida ending online testing change New York?
No. Delivery policies belong to the specific state and examination programme.
Is remote testing easier?
It changes logistics, not the knowledge you need. Choose the environment where you can follow the rules reliably.
Can EstatePass book my PSI seat?
No. Book through PSI; EstatePass provides independent practice.
Does practice satisfy DFS education?
No. EstatePass is not DFS-approved prelicensing education.
