Before sitting for the New York Property/Casualty licensing examination administered by PSI, an applicant must FIRST complete which of the following?

The 40-hour DFS-approved pre-licensing course for property and casualty
B15 hours of continuing education plus a 3-hour ethics course
CA two-year apprenticeship under a licensed broker
DSuccessful passage of the Series 6 securities examination

Why this is the answer

In New York, the licensing path for a P&C agent or broker is: (1) complete a 40-hour DFS-approved pre-licensing course from a certified provider; (2) receive a course completion certificate; (3) schedule the PSI exam (the state contractor administering NY licensing exams); (4) pass the exam; (5) submit the license application and fingerprints. CE (15 hours / 3 ethics) applies to renewal, not initial licensure. An apprenticeship is not required, and securities exams are unrelated to insurance licensing.
