Frequently asked questions

How many questions are on the Nevada Life exam?

Nevada administers the Life, 80 scored questions, a 120-minute time limit, administered by Pearson VUE. The exam fee is $37.

What score do I need to pass?

Nevada does not publish a passing score for this examination, so treat the candidate handbook as the authority rather than any figure quoted elsewhere.

Does Nevada require state-approved prelicensing education?

No. Nevada does not mandate prelicensing education for the Life license - passing the exam is what qualifies you. Exam prep alone is sufficient.

Is the practice exam built to the real Nevada exam's format?

Yes. Our practice questions and final exam are weighted to match Pearson VUE #122903 eff. 2024-10-01, section by section - not a generic national blueprint with a state label on it.
