Where can I find a study guide for the life and health insurance exam?

The exam administrators themselves publish the best study materials. Each state's testing vendor, usually Pearson VUE or PSI, publishes a candidate handbook and exam content outline listing every testable topic and the question count per section, available free from the vendor's website. Pearson VUE also sells national practice tests for $19.95 each, with 50 general questions and 25 state-generic questions, Prometric offers free practice tests for life, health, and property/casualty, and PSI provides a free test prep app with practice tools.

PSI, the vendor that administers Arkansas insurance exams, publishes the Arkansas insurance candidate information bulletin, which outlines exam content, procedures, and fees for the Life and Health exams.

Pearson VUE, Iowa's exam vendor, publishes the Iowa Insurance Division candidate handbook, which includes official content outlines for the Life and Accident & Health exams.

Electronic manuals are ordered through the Kaplan Oklahoma portal, and physical manuals are picked up at the Oklahoma City or Tulsa office.

Pearson VUE, the state's exam vendor, publishes the Insurance Licensing Candidate Handbook and Content Outlines on its South Carolina insurance program page, and these list every tested topic for the life and health exams.

Virginia does not require prelicensing education for the life and health exams, so a commercial study course is optional.

The combined Life, Annuities & Health exam has 140 scored questions plus 10 pretest questions and a 2.5-hour time limit.
