The state of Virginia uses Prometric to administer its insurance agent licensing. This means you can register and book all of your licensing examinations through the Prometric website. Your test can be carried out online or in person.
Each major insurance line examination is made up of multiple-choice questions and includes both general and state-specific material.
The general questions test your federal insurance product and agent knowledge, whereas the state-specific questions test you on the Virginia insurance regulations and laws that you will need to know in order to operate as an insurance agent.
As soon as you complete your exam, a score report will be emailed to you.
The score report will show you your percentage score in each section of the exam(s), as well as your overall score and whether you passed or failed. This can be very helpful if you end up needing to re-sit an examination as a result of failing.
Note: A score of 70% or higher is needed in order to pass an insurance license exam in Virginia.
