Trying to find the time in our busy lives to prepare for an insurance license test can be, at best, limited. \u00a0Because of this, you will want to be efficient in preparing for your insurance exam<\/a>. \u00a0In addition, if you want to be successful in passing your insurance license test, you will want to avoid these common mistakes:<\/p>\n A common temptation students may have is to read the course lessons or manual only once, and then take practice exams over and over. \u00a0Practice exams are intended to reinforce the material that is learned within the lessons and manual. \u00a0By repeatedly taking exams and ignoring the course material, you miss the connectivity between concepts and their full meaning.<\/strong> \u00a0While our courses offer hundreds of exam questions, and while each exam randomizes questions being presented, shuffles the order of questions and possible answers, over time your mind is storing these to memory instead of fully grasping a concept.\u00a0 Practice exams should always be secondary to the course material.<\/p>\n As discussed in How to Streamline Your Insurance Exam Preparation<\/a><\/em>, the State Exam Outline is a great resource because it shows how many questions are included in each section of the state insurance test. \u00a0Why would you spend equal time studying for section that contains 5 questions to a section that contains 25 questions?<\/p>\n It is understandable that you want to study as much as you can within your limited time.\u00a0 However, by not taking breaks can negatively affect your ability to process the information being learned.\u00a0 We recommend studying in short, frequent sessions of no more than 45 – 60 minutes at a time. \u00a0Then, take a short break to clear your mind and allow the information to set.\u00a0 This will help keep your mind and energy refreshed.<\/p>\n While you do not want to cram for the state test over the period of just a few days, it is also not recommended that you take too much time in your preparation. \u00a0Set a study schedule over the course of a few weeks to a month.\u00a0 Repetition is essential to learning, so constantly reviewing the course material over a period of few weeks is the best approach.<\/strong> \u00a0Also, schedule your state test as soon as you are prepared so the information is fresh in your mind on test day.<\/p>\n Not being fully prepared for the insurance license test will almost guarantee a failing score.\u00a0 Whether your employer is rushing you to complete it or you just didn’t set aside enough time to prepare, you will have a difficult time passing the state test if you do not completely understanding each concept. \u00a0This will result in having to retake the exam, which means more of your time and money.\u00a0 Even if you do take adequate\u00a0time to prepare, it may be difficult to determine if enough study-time was placed on each section. \u00a0To help eliminate this uncertainty, we developed an individualized Pass Report<\/a> which displays which sections need additional study-time and gauges your overall readiness for your state insurance test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trying to find the time in our busy lives to prepare for an insurance license test can be, at best,
