LLQP Ethics & Professional Practice (Common Law) FAQ — Exam Structure and Prep

Is this the Common Law or Civil Code version?

This hub is for Ethics & Professional Practice (Common Law). Québec uses a different legal framework (Civil Code) and typically a different Ethics & Professional Practice version.

Is the CSI LLQP Insurance Course exam the same as the provincial licensing exam?

No. The CSI LLQP Insurance Course exam/credits page describes CSI’s course assessments (for example, a 100‑question / 3‑hour proctored exam). Provincial licensing exams are typically separate modular exams administered under your regulator’s rules by an approved exam provider.

How many questions and how long is the Ethics (Common Law) licensing exam?

It depends on province/exam provider. As an official example, BC’s Harmonized LLQP guide states that each exam module is 75 minutes, and the Ethics & Professional Practice (Common Law) module contains 25 questions (scored out of 20 points, with 5 pilot/unscored questions). BC also states a passing mark of 60% or higher.

What is the fastest way to improve on Ethics questions?

• Treat it as a process exam: fact-find → disclose → consent → document.
• Prefer answers that protect the client and create a clear audit trail.
• Learn to spot red flags: misleading statements, pressure tactics, privacy breaches, and conflicts.
