Is the title exam and title insurance the same thing on home purchase?

No, the title exam and title insurance are not the same thing. A title exam is the process of reviewing public records to verify the property's ownership history and identify any liens or claims against it. Title insurance, on the other hand, is a policy that protects the buyer and lender from financial loss due to issues with the title that may arise after the purchase, such as undiscovered liens or ownership disputes.
