Tips For Studying For Your Life And Health Insurance License Exam
The following tips for studying for your Life and Health Insurance License exam should help you pass your exam on the first try.
Step 1: Make A Commitment - And Stick To It
Whether you plan to study full- or part-time, start by taking a few minutes to plan how study process. Will you spend an hour every evening? Spend all day every Tuesday? Have a mentor work with you? Regardless of what you plan, make sure you stick to it.

Step 4: Practice, Practice, And Practice Some More!
Whether you take one of our in-person, online, or self-study pre-licensing courses, all come with many sample exam questions. You can even build customized exams based on difficulty, length, and topic of your choice. As you'd probably guess, we suggest you take as many of these sample exams as possible so that you are fully prepared to pass your exam on the first time.
