The Michigan insurance exam tests your knowledge of insurance concepts as well as Michigan-specific laws and regulations. The exact subjects depend on the examination you take, with separate exams available for Life, Accident & Health, and combined Life, Accident & Health producer licensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Understanding the exam content before you begin preparing can help you focus on the subjects you will actually be tested on and identify areas that may require additional study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michigan insurance examinations follow content outlines that identify the subjects tested and the number of questions assigned to each area. PSI publishes the current examination content outlines used for Michigan licensing exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Life and Accident & Health candidates, the examination generally combines two types of material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exact combination of subjects depends on whether you take the Life, Accident & Health, or combined Life, Accident & Health examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Life Producer examination focuses on the concepts associated with life insurance and annuity products along with applicable Michigan insurance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Candidates should be prepared for subjects involving life insurance fundamentals, policy types and provisions, beneficiaries, premiums, underwriting, annuities, taxation, retirement-related concepts, and Michigan insurance regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Accident & Health Producer examination focuses on health insurance concepts and the different types of coverage associated with accident and health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subjects can include policy provisions, medical expense coverage, disability income insurance, group insurance, government health programs, taxation, and Michigan-specific insurance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combined Life, Accident & Health Producer examination brings material from both lines of authority into one examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Candidates preparing for the combined exam therefore need to understand Life and Accident & Health concepts as well as the Michigan-specific laws and regulations applicable to those lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michigan-specific insurance law is an important part of exam preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michigan’s pre-licensing requirements reinforce this distinction. Approved Life and Accident & Health pre-licensing education includes instruction in Michigan insurance law in addition to the general insurance concepts associated with the line of authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means candidates should not prepare only from general Life or Health insurance material. Michigan-specific laws, rules, and producer responsibilities are also part of the knowledge required for the licensing examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For more information about the required education, review our How Many Hours Is the Michigan Insurance Pre-Licensing Course?<\/a> article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The examination length depends on the exam you take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the primary Life and Accident & Health producer examinations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n PSI may also include experimental questions that do not count toward your examination score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michigan publishes examination cut scores separately for each exam. The current passing scores are 72% for Life, 76% for Accident & Health, and 75% for the combined Life & Health examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because examination content and cut scores can change, candidates should review the current Michigan examination information before testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes. Michigan insurance licensing examinations use multiple-choice questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Multiple-choice insurance questions can require more than recognizing a definition. You may need to distinguish between similar concepts, determine which rule applies to a situation, or identify the best answer from choices that initially appear similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For examples of how these questions may be structured, review our Insurance Exam Question Examples<\/a> article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No. Memorization can help with terminology, but understanding how insurance concepts work is more useful when questions require you to apply what you have learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, knowing the definition of a policy provision is useful, but you should also understand how that provision affects the policyholder, insurer, beneficiary, or claim when it is applied to a situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same principle applies to Michigan-specific material. Rather than memorizing isolated rules, understand what the rule requires and when it applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The examination you take should correspond to the line or lines of authority you are pursuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates seeking Life authority take the Life Producer examination, while candidates seeking Accident & Health authority take the Accident & Health Producer examination. Candidates pursuing both can take the combined Life, Accident & Health Producer examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michigan currently identifies these examinations as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These examinations require completion of the applicable Michigan pre-licensing education before testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Begin with the material in your Michigan pre-licensing course and make sure you understand both the general insurance concepts and Michigan-specific material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you progress, use practice questions to identify subjects that need additional review. Instead of repeatedly studying areas you already understand, spend additional time on topics where your results show inconsistent performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the state exam approaches, move toward comprehensive practice exams that combine subjects from across the course. This helps determine whether you can recall and apply information when topics are mixed together rather than presented one section at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n National Online Insurance School’s Michigan courses include unlimited customizable practice exams through our Exam Simulator, allowing you to practice individual subjects and then progress to comprehensive exams as you prepare for test day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are concerned about the overall difficulty of the examination, review our How Hard Is the Michigan Insurance Exam?<\/a> article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michigan DIFS provides access to the current PSI examination content outlines through its Examination Information resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The content outline is particularly useful because it identifies the subject areas included on the specific examination and the number of questions assigned to those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates should make sure they are reviewing the outline for the exact examination they plan to take rather than relying on an outline for a different line of authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michigan DIFS Examination Information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Michigan Life Producer exam covers Life insurance concepts and applicable Michigan insurance laws and regulations. Subjects include life insurance fundamentals, policy types and provisions, annuities, taxation, underwriting, and other topics identified in the current examination content outline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Accident & Health Producer exam covers health insurance concepts, policy provisions, disability income, medical expense coverage, group insurance, government health programs, and applicable Michigan insurance requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes. Michigan offers a combined Life, Accident & Health Producer examination for candidates pursuing both lines of authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Life and Accident & Health Producer examinations each contain 100 scored questions. The combined Life, Accident & Health examination contains 150 scored questions. Experimental questions may also be included and do not count toward the candidate’s score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PSI administers Michigan insurance licensing examinations for the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding what is on the Michigan insurance exam can help you focus your preparation on the material you will be expected to know on test day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Review our Michigan Insurance Courses<\/a> to complete the required pre-licensing education and prepare for the state exam, or use our Insurance Exam Simulator<\/a> to learn more about the practice-exam tools included with enrollment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn what is on the Michigan insurance exam, including Life and Health topics, Michigan-specific laws, exam structure, question counts, and passing requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4179"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4179"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4205,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4179\/revisions\/4205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalonlineinsuranceschool.com\/insurance-license-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How Many Questions Are on the Michigan Insurance Exam?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
