TESTIMONIALS
I studied only 2 to 3 weeks per exam
“If you’re looking for a worthwhile alternative to combing through the textbooks, look no further. The interface is simple to use, and the information is streamlined and presented in an efficient manner. I studied an average of only 2-3 weeks per exam, and I felt well-prepared for each. AssociatePI is a total game changer. 10/10 would recommend.”
John D. Lloyd – Underwriter
Passed CPCU® 500, CPCU® 520, CPCU® 530, and CPCU® 540 with AssociatePI
Translated in an easier to understand format
“I ran into a brick wall with Finance and Accounting (CPCU® 540). There were so many formulas to comprehend and memorize, I just felt overwhelmed with all the material. Unfortunately, I took my exam and was unable to pass it my first go through. As you may know, the exams are not cheap, and I was determined not to waste my money on a failed attempt again. That’s when I stumbled across AssociatePI. I couldn’t have been more pleased. They were able to condense the information down and able translate it in an easier to understand format. I found this an excellent tool, and would recommend to anyone looking for an edge to get over the hump. No testimonial would be complete without the results; I passed!”

Best thing I could have done
After some back and forth on whether to purchase the exam package I decided to take a chance and purchase the service. It was the best thing I could have done.They break down the topics well and take you step by step through all the material. Then the full practice tests give you a great idea of where you stand come test day. When I took the test I did not know what to expect but to my surprise the questions were worded almost identically to those of the questions on Associate PI. I passed the CPCU® 500 exam with ease thanks to this website. I have since passed the CPCU® 520 using this site as well. The way to pass these exams is by practicing as much as you can and this website makes it easy. I would recommend every CPCU® student take advantage of these test banks, they are truly better than anything else I have seen.
I wish i could have known AssociatePI earlier
Thank you Jake. The material provided was really helpful. I wish i could have known AssociatePI earlier. I would definitely inform my friends and make best use of your services with the upcoming CPCU® exams.
Questions were very similar to exam
Quiz questions were very similar to exam’s. Course focuses on the most important content of the exam
Thank you for all your help
I just wanted to thank you for all your help while preparing for CPCU® 520.I did pass the test, I will be purchasing CPCU® 530 comprehensive course next week and perhaps CPCU® 540.
You guys are great
You guys are great. I will be sure to spread the word about AssociatePI around my company.
520 CPCU®
You guys are great. I am taking the exam on 12-15-17. Regardless if I “non-pass”, I am still learning and life is too short to not continue enriching yourself. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Anderson
Well, I passed....
…but not by much. Like the CPCU 500, I thought the content was good and relatively easy to get through. However, there were a few questions/subjects on the test, that were never mentioned in the course. Overall, I feel like the content on this website is easier to digest vs. reading a textbook from the Institutes, but clearly it cost me a few questions on the test. Because of the money back guarantee, I’ll continue to use AssociatePI.
I passed again
I give it four stars because I passed. I didn’t get a really high score I think I barely passed. But a pass is a pass I guess.
