What to Expect in the Final Exam

The official Nevada Life & Health Insurance Exam is a rigorous, computer-based assessment primarily consisting of multiple-choice questions.

You should expect a combined examination that includes approximately 130 scored multiple-choice questions, along with 10 additional non-scored pretest questions, bringing the total to about 140 items.

The time limit for this comprehensive test is typically around 150 minutes, requiring efficient time management. This allows for roughly one minute per question.

To successfully pass and obtain your licensure, you must achieve a score of 70% or higher.

The exam is proctored, strictly timed, and closed-book. No study materials, electronic devices (including phones and smartwatches), or personal belongings are permitted within the testing room. Be prepared for biometric verification during check-in.

How to Study and Exam Centers

Achieving success requires a structured approach. Start by thoroughly understanding the official exam content outline provided by Prometric, the state's testing vendor.

Nevada mandates that you complete a required pre-licensing education course from an approved provider – 20 hours for life and 20 hours for health, totaling 40 hours for the combined license. You must finish this education before you can even schedule your exam, so ensure you choose a state-approved school listed on the Nevada Division of Insurance website.

Leverage comprehensive practice exams like the ones offered here. These are crucial for testing your knowledge, identifying areas needing more focus, and becoming comfortable with the multiple-choice format. Dedicate significant time to reviewing all explanations for correct and incorrect answers to build genuine understanding, not just memorization.

Timed practice runs are essential. Simulate the real exam environment by taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions to refine your pacing.

Given the complexity and weight, spend substantial time studying the Nevada-specific laws and regulations, as these are often unique and highly emphasized. Utilize flashcards for key terms, definitions, and specific regulatory details.

The official Nevada Life & Health Insurance Exam is administered by Prometric. Once your pre-licensing education is complete, you can schedule your exam directly through the Prometric website at www.prometric.com/Nevada.
