After the second failure of an examination, an examinee cannot again take the examination
for that line of authority until after a 90-day waiting period. After an examinee
has failed an examination four times, the examinee thereafter has a 180-day waiting
period for each subsequent examination for that line of authority. The waiting period
starts over in 24 months from the last failure.
Because some examinations cover multiple lines of authority, these waiting periods
are applied to the different examinations as follows:
- Life and Health exams:
- Life – If an examinee repeatedly fails the Life exam, the waiting
periods apply to the Life exam and to the combined Life & Health exam.
- Health – If an examinee repeatedly fails the Health exam, the waiting
periods apply to the Health exam and the combined Life & Health exam.
- Combined Life & Health – If an examinee repeatedly fails the combined
Life & Health exam, the waiting periods apply to the Life exam, the Health exam,
and the combined Life & Health exam.
- Property and Casualty Exams:
- Property - If an examinee repeatedly fails the Property exam, the
waiting periods apply to the Property exam, the Personal
Lines exam, and the combined Property & Casualty exam.
- Casualty - If an examinee repeatedly fails the Casualty exam, the
waiting periods apply to the Casualty exam, the Personal Lines
exam, and the combined Property & Casualty exam.
- Combined Property & Casualty – If an examinee repeatedly fails
the combined Property & Casualty exam, the waiting periods apply to the Personal Lines exam, the Property exam, the
Casualty exam, and the combined Property & Casualty exam.
- Personal Lines – If an examinee repeatedly fails the Personal Lines
exam, the waiting periods apply to the Personal Lines exam, the Property exam, the Casualty exam, and the combined
Property & Casualty exam.
- Bail Bonds - The waiting periods apply to this exam only.
- Adjuster Exams:
- Property and Casualty including Workers' Compensation and Crop
- Property and Casualty excluding Workers’ Compensation and Crop
