NAIC 2024 — Official First-Time Pass Rates

Insurance Exam Pass Rates by State: How Hard Is the Insurance Licensing Exam?

If you're wondering how hard the insurance licensing exam is, the honest answer is: it depends on your state, your license line, and whether you study with material built for the exam you're actually taking. Here is every published 2024 first-time pass rate, straight from the NAIC.

The quick answer: no, it’s not easy

The state insurance licensing exam is not a formality. Across the United States in 2024, 59.4% of first-time test takers passed — which means roughly 41% of the 498,110 people who sat for an insurance exam for the first time walked out without a license. Pass rates swing hard by state (from 27.3% in New Mexico to 75.7% in Illinois) and by line of authority, so the difficulty of your exam depends on exactly which test you’re taking. Find your state below, check your line, and start studying with material built for that exact exam.

Where this data comes from. All figures are compiled from the NAIC 2024 state exam pass-rate report — the most recent available statistics. Numbers cover English-language exams and first-time test takers only, combining in-person and remote testing where both are offered. Kentucky did not report 2024 data. Some states publish combined-line exams, others publish each line separately; a few (like Illinois) report the General and State portions of each exam as separate figures.

National insurance exam pass rates by line

How to pass the insurance exam on your first attempt

The candidates on the right side of these numbers tend to do the same six things:

Study for your exact state and line. The exam is state-specific — vendors, outlines, and state-law questions all differ — so generic national prep leaves you guessing on exactly the questions that fail people. Use practice questions early, not just as a final check: practice exams teach you how the exam asks, which matters as much as what it asks. Track what you miss and group errors by topic so your review time goes to your weakest chapters instead of your favorites. Separate memorization from judgment — definitions matter, but most questions make you apply a rule to a scenario. Take full-length timed exams before test day so the clock is a non-event. And do a 24-hour final review of formulas, policy provisions, exclusions, and your state-specific rules.
