Insurance Exam Update

I've completed everything in the insurance course, scored well on all the practice quizzes and today took the simulated exam, needing an 80% to pass before I can move on to the state exam on Wednesday.

I took the simulated exam twice today, missing my 80% target both times.

WTF??

I'm not sure why this exam was kickin my ass today. Tired? Maybe. Information overload? Probably. But I'll try again tomorrow, when all the kids are gone to school (yay for 1st days!), although noise and outside disturbances weren't really a problem today. This exam has 160 questions and takes about 90 to 120 minutes to complete. The official exam on Wednesday will allow up to 3 hours to finish. But first things first.

Attempt number 3 begins at approximately 9am tomorrow - once I get fully awake, that is. Stay tuned...

Save my brain, save the world...

How did that insurance exam treat you? I haven't heard much on the Indiana Insurance exam. Is there an 80% required score to pass or is that only for the simulated exam? Which exam prep? That would seem pretty hight for all of the Pearson VUE exam provider states.

The Indiana Exam was prepped by ExamFX. I was told by the people at my insurance office I needed 80% on the simulated exam to pass the course, but online it said 70% was passing. I don't know how closely they monitored the course info because my score never appeared on the certificate. But the actual exam for IDOI only required 67% to pass. I scored a 70.
