Prepare for the exam

The exam preparation process is 100% up to you, as the state of Rhode Island does not have a requirement on the hours and ways of completing pre-license education. Therefore, you may either prepare on your own or with your friends, or choose an educational package and take the insurance courses.

Take the Rhode Island Insurance License Exam

When you have learnt the insurance material, you should take an exam and demonstrate your knowledge.

Note that you will need to take one exam for each line of insurance you want. There is a “back-to-back” offer, according to which you can take two exams in the same sitting. This way you will not need to pay the examination fee twice.

The insurance exam is a proctored test. Hence, you will take the exam in the presence of the proctor, who will look over you so that you do not cheat.
