Highlights

The Texas life and health exam has 150 questions, but only 130 are scored, with 20 being pre-test questions that don't count for or against the examinee.

To pass, you need to score 70%, which is 91 correct answers out of 130, not out of 150.

Examinees should treat all 150 questions as if they are being scored since they won't know which are the pre-test questions.

It's important not to assume you've answered incorrectly if you're unsure—there's a 25% chance of picking the right answer even with uncertainty.

Many students mistakenly believe they've failed because they weren't confident in their answers, but this isn't always the case.

The breakdown of the exam includes chapters like completing the application, underwriting, and delivering the life policy, which make up 16% of the test.

The underwriting process involves assessing the risk of insuring someone, such as their age and health status.

There is significant overlap between life and health insurance concepts, particularly in underwriting and delivering policies.

Term and whole life insurance policies are heavily tested, so focusing on understanding the differences between them is key.

The life and health policy provisions section, making up 14-15% of the exam, overlaps in some areas but has distinct parts for each type of insurance.

Understanding 401k plans and basic retirement concepts can help in the smaller taxes and retirement sections of the exam.

Focusing on major health insurance concepts like HMOs, PPOs, and disability insurance is critical for the health insurance portion of the exam.

Medicare and Medicaid (social insurance) only make up 2% of the exam, so they are less crucial to study in depth.

The Texas-specific laws and regulations are common across multiple insurance exams, so if you've taken other exams, this section will be familiar.

It's possible to pass the exam by focusing on the most heavily tested sections, rather than trying to master every topic, as only a score of 70% is needed.

Transcripts

play00:02

hello this is Melissa the insurance exam

play00:05

Queen We are going to go over how to

play00:07

pass the Texas life and health exam and

play00:11

um Haley let me know if you have any

play00:12

questions since you're live here

play00:14

watching right so this is the breakdown

play00:18

of the exam so I'm going to zoom in here

play00:22

real quick

play00:23

so you have a total of

play00:26

150 questions but only 130 of them will

play00:31

actually be scored or counted for and

play00:33

against you 20 of them are known as

play00:36

pre-test and what that means is simply

play00:40

that the test maker I think it's Pearson

play00:44

in Texas is trying out some test

play00:46

questions seeing how well people do with

play00:48

them whatever

play00:50

the thing is is that you won't know if

play00:53

they're legitimate test questions or if

play00:55

they are

play00:57

actual or if they're fake questions

play00:59

right the pre-test questions when I say

play01:01

like fake they're not counting for you

play01:03

they're or against you they're just

play01:04

there

play01:05

but you won't know which ones are which

play01:08

right so when you sit down and you take

play01:10

the test you need to treat all 150

play01:13

questions as a test question but the

play01:16

good news is only 130 of them are

play01:19

actually scored

play01:21

for you or against you what that means

play01:23

is that you don't need

play01:25

seven and so you need a 70 to pass right

play01:28

you don't need 70 out of a hundred and

play01:31

fifty

play01:32

you need 70 out of 130 which means

play01:37

that's only 91 questions correct

play01:40

so what that means is when you're

play01:42

sitting there taking the test and you're

play01:44

going to have this feeling sometimes

play01:45

like oh my God I don't know the answer

play01:47

to that one I got that one wrong now

play01:50

don't assume that you got it wrong just

play01:52

because you don't know it or you're not

play01:54

confident in it because there's four

play01:55

choices you have a 25 chance of picking

play01:58

the right one

play01:59

additionally and I've seen this happen

play02:03

with with students that I've worked with

play02:04

one-on-one is just because you you don't

play02:08

feel confident doesn't mean you didn't

play02:10

pick the right answer I've seen this

play02:12

happen many times where they'll pick an

play02:14

answer and they're like oh I got that

play02:16

one wrong and I'm like no you didn't you

play02:17

got it right you just didn't feel

play02:20

confident in your answer but that

play02:22

doesn't mean you you failed it

play02:23

automatically so like I had this one

play02:26

student one time she knew that she could

play02:28

get like because you could basically out

play02:29

of 150 you need 91 you can get basically

play02:33

60 Questions wrong right so she was

play02:36

marking down every time she thought she

play02:39

got one wrong and she hit more than the

play02:42

number for her exam and she thought she

play02:43

blew it but I'm like but that doesn't

play02:46

mean they're all wrong like don't assume

play02:48

you picked the wrong answer just because

play02:51

you weren't you know you weren't

play02:52

confident in it and I never encourage

play02:54

anyone to do that pretend you got it

play02:57

right like just feel good about it like

play02:59

I'm not confident about this but let's

play03:01

just go and see that one feels good

play03:03

right like the more happy and excited

play03:06

your energy is the the better it serves

play03:08

you

play03:09

um

play03:10

so anyway when you get that feeling

play03:12

though don't you you you have so many

play03:15

that you can get wrong you have almost

play03:17

60 questions that you can get wrong and

play03:20

still pull off a pass so my points in

play03:24

saying this is don't allow that feeling

play03:25

to make you think you're failing

play03:28

know that you have a lot of wiggle room

play03:30

and that it's okay okay but you'll treat

play03:33

every question as a test question

play03:35

because you don't know which ones are

play03:37

scored and which ones are not they um

play03:40

they don't always tell you they just

play03:42

give you all you know 150 questions

play03:45

now the next part of this is showing us

play03:48

the

play03:50

um I don't know how I can move how do I

play03:52

move around in this thing it's not

play03:54

letting me move

play03:55

the next part of this is showing us

play03:59

um what is

play04:01

uh there we go what is the test going to

play04:05

be on what is it going to cover because

play04:07

it's not just a random

play04:10

um you know 150 questions they're coming

play04:12

from something specific

play04:14

so these are the chapter breakdowns and

play04:18

when we say chapter your webce ad Banker

play04:22

Kaplan exam FX whatever may have

play04:25

different chapter titles but this is

play04:29

coming directly from the state content

play04:33

outline

play04:35

and the the whatever the state said we

play04:37

want you know these Concepts tested

play04:40

so completing the application

play04:42

underwriting and delivering the life

play04:43

policy this is all about you as the

play04:46

insurance agent sitting down taking uh

play04:49

doing an application with the customer

play04:51

going over their medical questions

play04:53

getting information about them

play04:55

underwriting is all about the risk

play04:58

selection process you're looking at how

play05:00

risky this person is if they're older

play05:03

they're more like thinking about life

play05:05

insurance if they're older they're more

play05:06

likely to die

play05:08

if they are younger they're less likely

play05:11

to die if they already have health

play05:13

issues you know that's a problem so that

play05:15

that comes into the underwriting and

play05:18

then you have delivering the life policy

play05:20

and that's you as the insurance agent so

play05:22

you fill out the application with them

play05:25

you send it to underwriting where they

play05:27

make the decision if we're going to

play05:28

insure this person or not and then if

play05:30

they say yes then they deliver the

play05:32

policy to uh you they give it back to

play05:35

you as the agent you go to deliver it to

play05:37

the customer

play05:38

you review the policy for them and you

play05:41

make sure that they um you know

play05:44

understand the policy that that you

play05:46

review any changes with them or whatever

play05:48

so that's that chapter and it's going to

play05:51

come at nine percent of the exam now

play05:54

what's really cool is completing the app

play05:57

is essentially the same as field

play06:00

underwriting so this this is on the life

play06:03

side and this is on the health side but

play06:06

the application underwriting process in

play06:09

delivering the policy are the same it's

play06:12

not really different between life and

play06:15

health so what's really cool is when

play06:17

you're studying this nine percent you're

play06:19

also studying this seven percent which

play06:22

makes these two policy which makes these

play06:26

two ones for you really important

play06:29

um chapter that yellow car that red kind

play06:32

of removes the name but these are two

play06:35

really important chapters because the

play06:38

the total of that nine plus seven was at

play06:40

16 so 16 out of 150

play06:45

so you have 150 times 0.16 no wait I did

play06:49

that wrong 150 times

play06:52

1 6. that's 24 questions and you need 90

play06:56

of them correct so 24 out of 90 is

play06:59

pretty that's a pretty decently sized

play07:01

chunk

play07:02

um and every everything that you're

play07:04

learning and completing the app goes

play07:06

right into field underwriting so I like

play07:08

to call those like double double dipping

play07:09

chapters and we'll be um

play07:12

I don't know if I have that on the thing

play07:14

today but I certainly have a video of it

play07:17

in the silver package um so you you have

play07:19

that available to you I forget what our

play07:21

schedule is my the schedule I wanted to

play07:23

make today was very heavy on Provisions

play07:25

because I tend to

play07:27

um run out of time and Provisions you

play07:30

see here is life insurance policy

play07:33

Provisions 14 and health Provisions 15

play07:37

and these can overlap quite a bit so

play07:41

that's why I wanted to make sure I

play07:42

heavily focus on Provisions today during

play07:44

the the boot camp

play07:46

so

play07:48

um now next up you have types of life

play07:50

this is this is the policy this is

play07:52

talking about the actual policies like

play07:54

term policies Whole Life policies

play07:57

Universal policies variable policies etc

play08:00

etc

play08:01

um and that makes up nine percent of the

play08:04

exam which is actually relatively small

play08:06

considering all the things that they

play08:09

test you on if this is a life exam but

play08:11

technically the Life policies themselves

play08:13

only make up

play08:15

um nine percent now of all the different

play08:18

types of Life given my experience with

play08:21

teaching this material and having people

play08:23

pass the exam and passing the exams

play08:25

myself they heavily focus on term versus

play08:28

whole so there is universal there is

play08:30

variable there are other types of life

play08:33

insurance but the two heavy ones if you

play08:35

know term versus whole you're going to

play08:37

be able to get a big chunk of those um

play08:40

questions correct so what types of Life

play08:42

focus on term versus versus whole and I

play08:45

like to say that that's like a a me

play08:47

medium based where red is like stop

play08:49

spend a lot of time there study that

play08:51

chapter really well a yellow chapter I

play08:54

would say is more like you you gotta

play08:56

like slow down you gotta go you know go

play08:59

through it spend some time there but you

play09:01

don't need to be like a super big expert

play09:03

as long as you're an expert in term

play09:05

versus whole and you don't worry too

play09:07

much about Universal variable or all the

play09:09

other stuff you're gonna You're Gonna Be

play09:11

Good to grab a lot of points there

play09:14

then the next step is provisions and

play09:16

that's what we're actually starting with

play09:17

this morning in the the boot camp

play09:20

um with you Hallie or Haley some of you

play09:22

will be watching this on YouTube when

play09:24

you're not in the boot camp but always

play09:26

go to my Facebook group to find out when

play09:28

we're offering uh boot camps so this one

play09:31

is going to be a red chapter as well as

play09:34

um Health Provisions because life

play09:36

provisions and health Provisions there's

play09:38

a lot of overlap it's not a hundred

play09:40

percent the same like completing the app

play09:42

and field underwriting are pretty much

play09:44

word for word

play09:47

um there are a lot more Provisions in

play09:50

life insurance and then especially with

play09:52

the options and the writers there's a

play09:55

lot more here than there is in health

play09:58

insurance so I would say about half of

play10:01

this chapter will match the health

play10:03

Provisions chapter but they will be

play10:05

extra stuff in the Life provisions and

play10:08

extra stuff in the health Provisions

play10:09

that don't double dip so about half of

play10:12

this will double dip with each other so

play10:14

life provisions and health Provisions

play10:16

about half of that will double dip but

play10:18

you still got to study each one and then

play10:19

you'll see 14

play10:22

and 15 those are pretty big pretty big

play10:26

numbers right so you wanna you wanna

play10:28

make sure that you know those numbers

play10:31

really I'm actually gonna

play10:32

um label these two as well so we can do

play10:35

the math at the end and you can see how

play10:37

this all works

play10:39

because my goal

play10:40

and I didn't stress this or say this is

play10:43

that if you focus on the most tested

play10:45

topics you can pull off a pass you don't

play10:47

need to know and understand everything

play10:49

you just need to know the most tested

play10:53

stuff and be pretty decent you know at

play10:56

the medium tested stuff like so I'm

play10:59

going to show to you show you how you

play11:01

can pull off a pass by focusing on just

play11:04

specific chapters

play11:06

all right so then you have taxes

play11:09

retirement and other insurance Concepts

play11:11

at six percent now six percent is still

play11:14

a pretty decent number but the

play11:17

information inside taxes retirement is a

play11:20

lot and it can be difficult for people

play11:22

to understand it and to truly grasp all

play11:24

the concepts because it's like if this

play11:26

then that so then there and it's like

play11:28

you gotta know a lot to understand now

play11:31

if you do have any working knowledge of

play11:34

like 401ks like if you've ever had a job

play11:36

that has a 401k there's going to be 401K

play11:40

stuff in there so

play11:42

um that you know if you know anything

play11:44

about that that's helpful but I usually

play11:46

will tell people not to worry too much

play11:49

about taxes and retirement so that to me

play11:51

is more like a like a green chapter

play11:54

where you just go on past it because

play11:56

it's it can really stress you out and

play11:59

it's like I like to tell people it's not

play12:01

really worth their brain space now other

play12:04

insurance Concepts is is will also have

play12:08

taxes in it as well

play12:11

um so like a lot of these like just like

play12:13

completing the app and field

play12:15

underwriting are the same life

play12:16

Provisions Health Provisions they're

play12:18

kind of similar

play12:19

um taxes retirement is a little similar

play12:21

to other health Concepts in that it has

play12:23

taxes as well but you can see that

play12:26

that's three percent

play12:27

so we're going to treat that one as a

play12:30

green chapter where you can just move on

play12:33

through it don't worry too much about it

play12:36

then you have types of Health policies

play12:39

now this one's 11 you do want to be um

play12:42

better at this one so uh it's because

play12:44

it's a decently sized chunk so types of

play12:47

Health you want to be at about that's a

play12:49

red chapter you want to slow down take

play12:51

your time you know study that one now

play12:53

with this one it's going to be loaded

play12:56

with all kinds of stuff it's going to

play12:58

have major medical expense policies like

play13:01

hmos ppos it's gonna have um disability

play13:06

policies

play13:08

um but it's got it's limited policies

play13:11

short-term policies it's got all

play13:13

basically every type of Health policy in

play13:15

it the main focus for types of health is

play13:18

going to be hmos ppos and disability

play13:22

insurance

play13:23

so hmos ppos and disability and we're

play13:26

going to talk all about that tomorrow in

play13:28

our health boot camp because today is

play13:30

focused on life but I'm going over this

play13:32

for you since you're taking both tests

play13:34

so

play13:36

um types of life hmos ppos or types of

play13:40

Health sorry hmos ppos and disability if

play13:43

you focus on those then you you can do

play13:45

pretty well in that chapter now I know

play13:47

it's a red chapter but it will be hard

play13:49

to get all the questions correct in

play13:51

there because it's such a big chapter

play13:54

there's a lot of information in there

play13:56

you're looking at probably 60 Pages

play13:58

worth of studying for that 11

play14:01

but you still want it's still a decently

play14:03

sized chapter so you want to spend a

play14:05

good amount of time there but it kind of

play14:06

wanes between it's kind of like types of

play14:08

life where it's like just focus on Turn

play14:10

versus whole just focus on HMO PPO and

play14:14

disability so it's it's kind of like an

play14:17

orangey chapter where it's a little bit

play14:19

yellow a little bit red like don't

play14:21

bypass it but don't try AI to stress

play14:24

yourself remembering everything

play14:27

then you have social insurance now this

play14:30

is Medicare

play14:32

um Medicaid you don't need to really

play14:35

know that see it's only two percent

play14:37

um it's not really worth your time to

play14:39

try and memorize all the different parts

play14:42

of Medicare and things like that which

play14:43

is only two percent because that's like

play14:46

literally like four questions

play14:48

um so that's going to be a kind of a

play14:49

blow-by chapter it's a green chapter

play14:52

all right then you have um state law the

play14:56

first chapter is Texas common to all

play14:59

lines and this is actually common not

play15:02

just to life and health but common to

play15:04

life and health and property casualty so

play15:06

if you've taken the Property and

play15:08

Casualty exams before in that state

play15:10

it'll be the exact same stuff now this

play15:13

chapter will be

play15:15

um

play15:16

this one will be a a yellow chapter just

play15:19

because there's a lot of information in

play15:21

there what you want to focus on is what

play15:24

I go over in my state regulations class

play15:26

so if you have any of my class series

play15:29

there is a um state regulations class

play15:32

that will talk to you about the

play15:33

Department of Insurance it'll tell you

play15:36

um you know about the director the

play15:38

commissioner whatever name he goes by

play15:40

what is his purpose what does he do and

play15:43

then I will also highlight for you which

play15:45

numbers are important to study

play15:48

um how long your license is good for how

play15:50

many hours of continuing education do

play15:52

you need the rules for getting a license

play15:56

those are the the highly tested topics

play15:59

among that chapter and then I also

play16:01

provide you with some hints to um try

play16:04

and grab as much other because there's a

play16:06

lot of numbers in that chapter fees and

play16:08

fines court dates 30 days for this 20

play16:12

days for that 10 days for this it can be

play16:15

a lot of information which is is why I

play16:17

make it yellow because I don't want to

play16:18

stress you out with trying to remember

play16:20

everything because it's very numbers

play16:21

based

play16:23

but if you have my state regulations

play16:25

video in any of my class series it will

play16:28

highlight for you what you need to know

play16:30

from that chapter to kind of ease your

play16:32

burden of like studying everything

play16:34

where do we get the state regulation

play16:37

class do you have is it do you have

play16:39

silver

play16:40

or do you have YouTube

play16:43

oh I don't know I think I have silver

play16:45

okay if you have if you have my if you

play16:47

so if you paid for my classes you should

play16:50

have silver for life and health

play16:52

um and it will have estate regulations

play16:54

video um and even if you why I guess you

play16:57

studied a while back I don't think you

play16:58

have my PNC one but the state

play17:01

regulations is the same like I said

play17:02

common all lines is the same for for

play17:04

everything okay I do have a good amount

play17:06

of YouTube videos on that chapter

play17:09

um as well too okay

play17:11

all right now

play17:13

um what's really cool about these next

play17:15

two chapters is so you have Texas

play17:17

statues rules pertinent to life

play17:19

insurance only so this is where they get

play17:22

into the nitty-gritty details about life

play17:24

insurance specifically the rules and

play17:26

laws but what's really awesome is the

play17:29

provisions that you learn here will

play17:31

actually match what you're going to see

play17:33

down here

play17:34

so a provision is like a rule for a

play17:37

policy we do it like this we have it

play17:39

like this you must do this

play17:41

so this chapter in Texas is saying we do

play17:44

it like this it must be like this and

play17:46

it's you're gonna as you as you go

play17:49

through the Texas pertinent to life

play17:51

insurance only you're gonna be like I

play17:52

feel like I read this before you did in

play17:54

Provisions it really truly is the same

play17:57

stuff it's just that Texas is

play17:59

emphasizing their numbers like because

play18:02

you can you Provisions are like the free

play18:05

look period where

play18:07

the customer receives a policy they can

play18:09

return it for a full refund if they

play18:11

don't want it if they decide never mind

play18:13

I I change my mind on this

play18:16

um so they can get it returned for a

play18:18

full refund

play18:19

um and that's standard 10 days across

play18:22

the board but some states can say it's

play18:24

15 days

play18:25

um you know they can make it longer so

play18:28

your that chapter will just simply

play18:30

stress your State numbers but it's

play18:32

basically just going over provisions

play18:35

same with the health

play18:38

um and the health provisions and

play18:41

um the rules pertinent to access and

play18:43

health insurance only you're just double

play18:45

dipping onto those Provisions so these

play18:48

will end up being read chapters as well

play18:51

because you're you're not having to

play18:53

really study them separate you're

play18:55

studying them alongside provisions and

play18:58

those are read already

play19:00

then you have rules pertinent to an HMO

play19:03

um that's again hmos are going to come

play19:05

from the types of Health policies so

play19:08

this is just Texas stressing the rules

play19:10

that they have for hmos with hmos it's

play19:13

usually focused on the geographic

play19:15

boundaries who can join an HMO

play19:18

um and but it's three percent though so

play19:21

you don't need to really stress out

play19:22

about it and so I would make that a

play19:25

green chapter

play19:27

so what I want to show you here is how

play19:29

you can secure a pass so let's say the

play19:32

red chapters you're you're trying to get

play19:33

as many points as possible so the goal

play19:35

here is that you get you know like all

play19:37

nine percent so let's say you got nine

play19:39

percent plus and then the yellow

play19:41

chapters let's see types of life you're

play19:44

probably going to get somewhere around

play19:45

closer to six percent

play19:49

um Provisions you want to get as many as

play19:51

possible so that's going to be the 14 14

play19:54

you don't worry at all about taxes so

play19:57

let's say you get none of that correct

play20:00

um then you have field underwriting

play20:02

which is just like completing the app so

play20:04

you're going to get all seven percent of

play20:07

that correct then you have types of life

play20:09

but like I said it's it's like an

play20:11

orangey chapter where you you got to

play20:13

spend some time there but don't

play20:14

overwhelm yourself so let's say you get

play20:17

somewhere like you know eight eight

play20:19

percent on that one

play20:21

then you have your health provisions and

play20:24

you want to get all of that so that's

play20:25

going to be 15 percent

play20:28

then you have your

play20:31

um social which you don't need to worry

play20:33

about and your your taxes which you

play20:35

don't need to to really know about

play20:38

then you've got your common to all lines

play20:40

11 you're probably going to get around

play20:42

like nine nine percent for that one and

play20:45

then you've got your your

play20:47

um five percents here

play20:49

so that's another 10 and that puts you

play20:52

at 78 and you need

play20:56

70 to pass so you're already you already

play20:59

have wiggle room with these most tested

play21:02

chapters so this is how you're able to

play21:04

ignore certain things and just super

play21:07

focus on the most tested chapters and

play21:10

the ones that double dip a lot and

play21:12

you're looking at a 78 there is no rule

play21:16

or worry about getting more than 70.

play21:19

like if you get just 70 it's still a

play21:22

pass it doesn't change who will hire you

play21:24

it doesn't change your potential of

play21:27

getting a job a pass is a pass is a pass

play21:29

is a pass so a 70 is just as good as a

play21:33

100 and by focusing on the most tested

play21:36

topics you don't overwhelm yourself and

play21:39

you're actually more likely to pass by

play21:42

focusing on the most sense of topics

play21:44

rather than trying to memorize and

play21:45

understand everything because that's

play21:46

going to be really hard for people to do

play21:49

so any questions with that and does that

play21:51

does that make sense

play21:53

it makes sense

play21:55

okay perfect all right so that was how

play21:57

to study and pass for the Texas

play22:00

um life and health exam by really

play22:03

focusing on these red chapters medium

play22:05

focusing on the yellow chapters

play22:07

bypassing the green you're looking at a

play22:09

78 you need 70 to pass so that's more

play22:13

than enough to get you going

play22:16

all right so let me go ahead and turn

play22:18

off the recording where do I oh I lost

play22:21

my zoom tools

play22:23

all right
