- The NV-PC outline has 10 domains; Casualty Types of Policies, Bonds, and Related Terms is the largest at 16.31%.
- Property and Casualty content combined make up roughly 60% of the 141 scored questions.
- Nevada-specific statute domains (7-10) still account for about 29% of scored content.
- The current outline runs through November 13, 2026; a revised outline applies to exams on or after November 14, 2026.
Overview of the NV-PC Content Outline
The Nevada Property & Casualty Insurance Producer Exam (NV-PC) is built from a single official content outline administered for the Nevada Division of Insurance through Pearson VUE test centers. Under the combined exam code InsNV_PC06, candidates answer 141 scored multiple-choice questions plus 15 unscored pretest items, for a total of 156 questions in 3 hours 35 minutes. The passing threshold is a scaled score of 70.
Unlike some licensing exams that bury domain weights in vague percentage ranges, the NV-PC outline assigns a precise percentage to each of its 10 content areas, calculated directly from the official scored-question counts. That precision is useful: it tells you exactly how many questions to expect from each topic, which means you can allocate study hours proportionally instead of guessing. This guide walks through all 10 domains in the order they appear on the outline, explains why the weighting looks the way it does, and shows how to convert that weighting into a realistic prep schedule.

Property Domains 1-3
The Property side of the outline covers three domains that together account for roughly 35% of scored questions. These domains test your ability to identify policy structures, define standard terminology, and apply contract law principles to property claims scenarios.
Domain 1: Property - Types of Policies (15.60%)
This is the second-largest domain on the entire exam and the largest of the three Property domains. Expect questions on how different property forms are structured and when each applies.
- Dwelling and homeowners policy forms and their coverage differences
- Commercial property forms, including building and personal property coverage
- Named-peril versus open-peril (all-risk) policy structures
- Inland marine and other specialized property coverage types
Domain 2: Property - Insurance Terms and Related Concepts (10.64%)
This domain tests vocabulary and conceptual understanding rather than specific policy forms.
- Insurable interest, indemnity, and subrogation as applied to property loss
- Valuation methods: actual cash value, replacement cost, and agreed value
- Coinsurance clauses and how underinsurance affects claim payouts
- Deductibles, limits, and coverage territory definitions
Domain 3: Property - Policy Provisions and Contract Law (9.22%)
The smallest Property domain, but it still tests foundational legal principles that apply across every policy type.
- Standard policy conditions: cancellation, nonrenewal, and notice requirements
- Elements of a valid insurance contract and legal doctrines like waiver and estoppel
- Endorsements and how they modify base policy provisions
- Loss settlement and appraisal provisions
Casualty Domains 4-6
Casualty content makes up the largest single block of the exam once you combine all three domains, and Domain 4 alone is the single heaviest-weighted domain on the outline. If you only have time to deeply master one content area, this is it.
Domain 4: Casualty - Types of Policies, Bonds, and Related Terms (16.31%)
The single largest domain on the NV-PC outline. Expect the widest breadth of terminology and policy-type identification questions here.
- General liability policy structures and coverage triggers
- Commercial auto, workers' compensation, and umbrella/excess liability basics
- Surety and fidelity bonds and how they differ from insurance policies
- Professional liability and other specialty casualty lines
Domain 5: Casualty - Insurance Terms and Related Concepts (10.64%)
Mirrors Domain 2's structure but applied to liability exposures.
- Occurrence versus claims-made trigger language
- Negligence, tort law basics, and vicarious liability concepts
- Limits of liability structures: per-occurrence, aggregate, and split limits
- Defense costs and duty-to-defend provisions
Domain 6: Casualty - Policy Provisions (8.51%)
Focuses on the contract mechanics unique to liability coverage.
- Standard exclusions found in general liability forms
- Conditions related to notice of claim and cooperation clauses
- Other insurance and coordination-of-benefits provisions
- Supplementary payments and additional insured provisions
Key Takeaway
Domains 4 and 1 together represent nearly a third of the entire scored exam. Building strong recall of casualty policy types, bonds, and property policy forms before tackling the smaller domains produces the biggest score improvement per study hour.
Nevada Statutes Domains 7-10
The final four domains shift from general insurance principles to Nevada-specific law. These domains combine to roughly 29% of scored content, so state statute knowledge is not a minor afterthought - it's nearly a third of the exam.
Domain 7: Nevada Statutes and Regulations Common to Life, Health, Property, and Casualty Insurance (14.18%)
The largest of the four Nevada-specific domains, covering rules that apply across all license lines.
- Producer licensing requirements, renewals, and continuing education rules
- Unfair trade practices and unfair claims settlement practices
- Nevada Division of Insurance authority and enforcement powers
- Appointment, termination, and record-keeping requirements for producers
Domain 8: Nevada Statutes and Codes Common to Property and Casualty Insurance (7.09%)
- Policy cancellation and nonrenewal notice requirements under Nevada law
- Rate and form filing basics specific to P&C lines
- Claims handling standards unique to property and casualty policies
Domain 9: Nevada Statutes and Codes Pertinent to Property Insurance Only (1.42%)
The smallest domain on the entire outline - worth roughly two questions on average, but still worth a quick review pass.
- Property-specific statutory disclosure requirements
- Any Nevada-specific valuation or claims-handling rules unique to property lines
Domain 10: Nevada Statutes and Codes Pertinent to Casualty Insurance Only (6.38%)
- Nevada-specific liability statute requirements
- Casualty-only filing or disclosure rules not covered in Domain 8
Because Nevada does not require prelicensing education hours, many candidates go into the exam without ever sitting through a classroom review of these statute domains. That makes independent review of Domains 7-10 especially important - see NV-PC Requirements 2026: Eligibility, Prerequisites & How to Qualify for the full eligibility picture, including the fingerprint and background check process and the one-year window to apply after passing.
Why Domain Weighting Matters for Scheduling
With 141 scored questions spread across 10 domains, weighting translates directly into a rough question count per domain. A 16.31% domain like Domain 4 accounts for roughly 23 scored questions, while a 1.42% domain like Domain 9 accounts for roughly 2. That's a meaningful difference in how much study time each deserves.
| Domain Group | Combined Weight | Approx. Scored Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Property (Domains 1-3) | 35.46% | ~50 |
| Casualty (Domains 4-6) | 35.46% | ~50 |
| Nevada Statutes (Domains 7-10) | 29.07% | ~41 |
Notice that Property and Casualty carry identical combined weight, and Nevada statutes are only slightly lighter. That balance means you can't specialize in just one side of the outline and expect a passing score of 70 - you need working knowledge across all three groups.

Mapping a Study Plan to the Outline
Rather than studying domains in the order they appear on the outline, it makes sense to sequence them by weight - heaviest first, while your energy and time are freshest.
Casualty Foundations
- Domain 4: policy types, bonds, and related terms (16.31%)
- Domain 5: casualty terms and concepts (10.64%)
Property Foundations
- Domain 1: property policy types (15.60%)
- Domain 2: property terms and concepts (10.64%)
Nevada Statutes, Broad First
- Domain 7: statutes common to all lines (14.18%)
- Domain 8: statutes common to P&C (7.09%)
Contract Provisions and Narrow Statutes
- Domain 3 and Domain 6: policy provisions and contract law
- Domain 10: casualty-only statutes (6.38%) and Domain 9: property-only statutes (1.42%)
This sequencing puts the two heaviest domains (4 and 1) in the first two weeks, when you have the most bandwidth for new material, and saves the lightest domains (9 and 10) for a final review pass. A full walkthrough of pacing, practice-question drilling, and review cadence is available in the NV-PC Study Guide 2026: How to Pass on Your First Attempt.
Exam Format and Question Style
Every question on the InsNV_PC06 exam is multiple-choice, drawn from the 141 scored plus 15 unscored pretest items. Because unscored pretest questions are mixed in without identification, there's no way to tell which questions count - treat every question with equal seriousness. The exam is delivered exclusively at Pearson VUE test centers; it is not currently listed for OnVUE remote delivery, so plan your test-day logistics around an in-person appointment.
The $47 exam fee covers the combined Property and Casualty content in a single 3 hour 35 minute sitting. Because Nevada requires passing within one year before applying for a license, and requires the state fingerprint and background process alongside it, timing your study plan around your application deadline matters as much as mastering the domains themselves. See NV-PC Certification Cost 2026: Complete Pricing Breakdown for a full cost breakdown and NV-PC Exam Dates 2026: Testing Windows, Deadlines & Scheduling for scheduling specifics.
Once you've licensed, the domain knowledge from this outline doesn't disappear - Nevada requires 30 continuing-education hours every three years, including 3 ethics hours, so Domains 7 and 8's statutory content resurfaces throughout your career.

Before your test date, run a full domain-by-domain review using realistic practice questions modeled on the actual weighting - not a generic insurance exam question bank. Testing yourself against the same proportions found in this outline, using practice exams built around the InsNV_PC06 blueprint, is the most direct way to confirm you're ready across all 10 areas rather than just the ones you find interesting.
