DE Life & Health

Questions are multiple choice, covering the ten content areas of life and health insurance plus insurance regulation and general concepts. The specific number of items and the time allowed are not published on the Delaware Department of Insurance licensing pages reviewed here, so confirm the current structure on the exam program page before you schedule.

Those parameters are not stated on the state licensing pages or the testing vendor's general pages retrieved for this profile. Rather than rely on a figure from an older edition of the exam, check the exam program homepage for your licensing program, which lists current rules and appointment details for each test.

The passing score is not published in the Delaware Department of Insurance material reviewed, and it is set by the testing program rather than by a single statewide number printed on a public page. Look for the candidate handbook on your program's page, which normally states the scaled passing standard and how results are reported.

Fees and retake rules are not given on the Department's licensing pages retrieved for this profile, and the only dated renewal item shown there was a non-resident renewal application due February 28, 2023 - a date that has passed. Confirm current fees, waiting periods, and attempt limits directly with the testing vendor.

Exams are delivered by Pearson Professional Assessments, the vendor formerly branded Pearson VUE. Create or log in to an account, find your program using the search bar or A-to-Z list, then choose a local test center or an online appointment. The same account lets you reschedule or cancel; program-specific rules govern any fees or deadlines.

Yes. The testing vendor states that it provides equitable access to testing and can arrange accommodations such as extra time or a separate room. You request accommodations through the vendor's accommodations process, ideally well ahead of your appointment date so approval and scheduling do not delay your licensing timeline.

Build the foundation first: insurance regulation and general insurance concepts frame vocabulary and rules that recur everywhere. Then work the life track in sequence - basics, policy types, provisions and riders, annuities, and federal tax treatment - before the health track, finishing with government programs and health insurance regulation, which pulls together the health material.

Memorizing isolated numbers instead of the reasoning behind them; confusing the roles of owner, insured, annuitant, and beneficiary; mixing up policy provisions with optional riders; and treating health policy types as interchangeable. Weak spots in tax treatment of life insurance and annuities also cost points. Review missed practice questions by topic, not by score.

The Department of Insurance's Producer Licensing & Continuing Education Division handles licensing and CE, and the Department site offers licensee lookup, license printing, and CE transcript printing. The retrieved pages do not state a license term or current renewal cycle, so verify renewal dates and CE hour requirements with the Division before your deadline.
