Nevada Insurance Licensing Life-Producer Real Exam Dumps [September 2026 Update]

Policy Riders, Provisions, Options, and Exclusions accounts for 19 of the 50 scoreable questions in the General Knowledge section – 38% of the entire section – making it the single most point-dense topic area on the Nevada Life Producer exam. It is also the area most consistently underestimated in study time allocation. The typical candidate who has completed their pre-licensing course feels confident about policy types: they can explain whole life, term, universal life, and annuities with reasonable accuracy. What they often cannot do under exam conditions is distinguish with precision between the three nonforfeiture options (cash surrender, reduced paid-up insurance, extended term insurance), or identify which dividend option produces a paid-up addition to the face amount, or determine which settlement option guarantees payments for a fixed number of years regardless of whether the beneficiary lives or dies during that period. These distinctions are tested exactly – not as general awareness questions but as scenario questions where four plausible options are all related to the same broad topic. A candidate who knows dividend options exist as a category but cannot name and distinguish all five types will miss multiple questions from a pool that represents more than a third of the General Knowledge section. Precise memorization of every option within provisions, dividends, nonforfeiture, and settlement is not optional preparation – it is mandatory for passing the General Knowledge section.

The Nevada Life Producer exam (InsNV_Life01) is the state licensing examination for the Life insurance producer license in Nevada, administered by Pearson VUE for the Nevada Division of Insurance. Passing this exam authorizes the sale of life insurance policies, annuity contracts, endowment contracts, and group life insurance in Nevada. The exam has two independently scored sections totaling 80 scoreable questions, both of which must reach 70% in the same sitting.

Cert Empire’s Nevada Life Producer exam questions cover both sections at the precision each requires – detailed provisions and options knowledge for General Knowledge, and Nevada-specific replacement rules, unfair practices law, and viatical settlement regulations for the State-Specific section.

Exam Snapshot

Two-Section Structure

Both sections must be passed in the same sitting. Failing either section means rescheduling and retaking both.

Section 1: General Knowledge Content (50 Scoreable Questions)

Topic I: Types of Life Insurance Policies (12 Questions)

Traditional whole life insurance: Permanent life insurance with a guaranteed death benefit, guaranteed level premiums, and a guaranteed cash value that grows at a minimum interest rate. The exam tests the fundamental characteristics: coverage lasts for the insured’s lifetime (not a defined term), premiums remain level throughout the policy’s life, and cash value accumulates on a tax-deferred basis. Policy loans are available against the accumulated cash value without surrendering the policy. The exam also tests limited payment whole life (paid-up at 65, 20-pay life, single premium whole life) – policies where premiums are paid over a shorter period but coverage remains for life.

Interest/market-sensitive and adjustable life products: The exam tests three primary types in this category with important distinctions between them.

Universal life insurance separates the death benefit from the savings component and provides flexibility: the policyowner can adjust premiums (within limits) and change the death benefit amount. The two death benefit options tested: Option A (level death benefit – as cash value grows, the net amount at risk decreases, keeping total death benefit level) and Option B (increasing death benefit – total death benefit equals the face amount plus accumulated cash value, so both the death benefit and the net amount at risk remain relatively stable). The exam tests the cost of insurance (COI) charges that are deducted monthly from the cash value, and what happens when the cash value depletes entirely – the policy lapses unless premiums are paid.

Variable life insurance – cash value and death benefit vary based on the performance of the separate account investments chosen by the policyowner. The death benefit has a guaranteed minimum (cannot fall below the original face amount), but the cash value can decrease to zero. Variable life producers must hold a securities license in addition to a life insurance license.

Variable universal life combines the flexibility of universal life with the investment component of variable life – adjustable premiums and death benefit, cash value invested in separate accounts selected by the policyowner.

Indexed universal life links cash value growth to the performance of a market index (commonly S&P 500) with a floor (minimum crediting rate, typically 0% to protect against loss) and a cap (maximum crediting rate). The exam tests that indexed UL does not directly invest in the index – it uses index-linked crediting strategies.

Term life insurance: Pure death benefit with no cash value accumulation. The exam tests term types: level term (death benefit and premium remain constant throughout the term period), decreasing term (death benefit decreases over time – often used for mortgage protection), increasing term (death benefit increases over time, often used as a rider). The exam also tests term renewability (the right to renew the policy at the end of the term without evidence of insurability, typically at a higher premium) and convertibility (the right to convert the term policy to a permanent policy without evidence of insurability, regardless of health changes since original issue).

Annuities: Contracts that provide periodic income payments, primarily used for retirement income. The exam tests the two phases: accumulation phase (premiums paid in, cash value grows tax-deferred) and annuitization phase (contract converted to income stream). Key annuity distinctions tested:

Fixed annuity: insurer guarantees a minimum interest rate; insurer bears the investment risk.

Variable annuity: contract holder selects separate account investments; contract holder bears the investment risk; value fluctuates with investment performance; requires securities licensing to sell.

Fixed indexed annuity: similar to indexed UL – interest credits linked to an index with a floor and cap; insurer bears the index downside risk.

Immediate annuity: funded with a single premium, income payments begin within one payment period (usually within 12 months); used for immediate income needs.

Deferred annuity: accumulation phase occurs before annuitization; may be funded with a single premium or periodic premiums.

The exam also tests suitability: annuities are appropriate for long-term accumulation with tax-deferral benefits; they are generally not appropriate for individuals who need liquid funds in the near term due to surrender charges and potential tax penalties on early withdrawal.

Combination plans: Policies that combine life insurance coverage with other features. The exam tests joint life (first-to-die) policies (insure two lives, pay the death benefit on the first death – commonly used for business partners or couples), survivorship (second-to-die) policies (pay on the death of the last surviving insured – commonly used for estate planning), and family income policies (combination of whole life and decreasing term).

Topic II: Policy Riders, Provisions, Options, and Exclusions (19 Questions – Largest Section Topic)

This is the most point-dense topic area on the entire exam. Precise knowledge of every named item is required.

Policy Riders:

Waiver of premium rider: waives the premium obligation if the insured becomes totally disabled (as defined by the rider – typically unable to perform own occupation for the first two years, then any occupation). The exam tests the elimination period (usually 6 months of continuous disability before the waiver activates), that premiums waived are credited as if paid, and that the policy remains in force as if premiums were being paid.

Accidental death benefit (double indemnity) rider: pays an additional death benefit (equal to the face amount, hence “double indemnity”) if the insured dies as a result of an accident meeting the policy definition. The exam tests that accidental death means direct result of accidental bodily injury, must occur within 90 days of the accident, and excludes aviation (unless commercial passenger), war, hazardous activities, and self-inflicted injury.

Guaranteed insurability rider: gives the policyowner the right to purchase additional life insurance at specified future dates (option dates) without evidence of insurability, regardless of health changes. The exam tests that this rider is only available up to a specified maximum age, that unexercised options are forfeited permanently, and what happens at each option date.

Payor benefit rider: waives premiums on a juvenile policy if the premium payor (parent or grandparent) dies or becomes totally disabled before the insured child reaches a specified age.

Accelerated death benefit (living benefit) rider: allows the insured to receive a portion of the death benefit while still living upon diagnosis of a terminal illness (typically defined as having a life expectancy of 12 months or less) or upon diagnosis of a qualifying chronic or critical illness. The exam tests that the accelerated amount reduces the remaining death benefit dollar for dollar, that interest may be charged on the advance, and the tax implications (terminal illness accelerations are generally income tax-free; chronic illness accelerations may have limitations).

Term rider: adds temporary additional death benefit coverage to a permanent policy for a defined period.

Policy Provisions and Options:

Free look provision: the policyowner has the right to examine the policy after delivery and return it for a full premium refund if not satisfied. The exam tests Nevada’s free look period for life insurance (typically 10 days for most policies; 30 days for policies replacing existing coverage). This is both a general knowledge and state-specific topic.

Grace period: the policy remains in force for 30 days (31 days in some policy forms) after the premium due date – if the insured dies during the grace period, the insurer pays the death benefit minus the overdue premium.

Incontestability clause: after the policy has been in force for two years during the insured’s lifetime, the insurer cannot contest the policy for misrepresentation in the application. The exam tests that the two-year period runs from the original issue date, that the clause does not protect against fraudulent misstatement, and what “contest” means (denying a claim or rescinding the policy based on material misrepresentation).

Reinstatement provision: the right to restore a lapsed policy by paying all overdue premiums with interest and providing evidence of insurability (except for policies that have been surrendered for cash value). The exam tests the reinstatement period (typically three to five years from the lapse date, depending on policy terms) and that if the insured dies during the reinstatement review period before the company accepts the application, the claim is typically handled as if still within the grace period.

Misstatement of age or sex: if the insured’s age or sex was misstated in the application, the benefit is adjusted to what the premium paid would have purchased at the correct age or sex. The exam tests that the insurer adjusts the benefit rather than rescinding the policy (unlike material misrepresentation of health, which can void the policy within the contestability period).

Suicide clause: if the insured commits suicide within the suicide exclusion period (typically two years from the policy issue date), the insurer returns only the premiums paid rather than paying the death benefit. After the exclusion period, suicide is a covered cause of death.

Dividend Options (for participating policies):

Life insurance dividends are not guaranteed returns on investment but rather a return of excess premium. The exam tests all five dividend options with precision:

Cash payment: dividends paid directly to the policyowner.

Premium reduction: dividends applied to reduce the next premium due.

Accumulation at interest: dividends left with the insurer to accumulate at a specified interest rate; the accumulated amount is an insurer liability (not part of the policy cash value) and is subject to income tax on the interest.

Paid-up additions: dividends used to purchase small paid-up whole life additions to the policy – increases the total death benefit and total cash value; no additional premium required for the additions.

One-year term (fifth dividend option): dividends used to purchase one-year term insurance equal to the policy’s cash value; provides additional death benefit at low cost; useful for maintaining term coverage during cash value accumulation phase.

The exam tests which option increases the total death benefit most effectively (paid-up additions and one-year term both increase death benefit; paid-up additions also increase cash value), and what distinguishes accumulation at interest from paid-up additions (accumulation at interest is a cash deposit with the company; paid-up additions purchase additional insurance coverage).

Nonforfeiture Options:

When a policyowner stops paying premiums on a cash value policy, three nonforfeiture options protect the accumulated value from complete forfeiture. The exam tests all three with precision and scenario application:

Cash surrender: the policy is surrendered and the policyowner receives the net cash surrender value in cash. Coverage ends immediately. The exam tests that any policy loans outstanding are deducted from the cash surrender value, and that any gain over the cost basis (total premiums paid minus dividends received) is taxable as ordinary income.

Reduced paid-up insurance: the accumulated cash value is used as a single premium to purchase a paid-up whole life policy (no further premiums required) for a reduced face amount. Coverage remains for the insured’s lifetime. The exam tests that the death benefit is reduced but the policy remains permanent – this option preserves the longest coverage duration.

Extended term insurance: the accumulated cash value is used to purchase term insurance for the full original face amount for as long a term period as the cash value can support. Coverage ends when the term period expires. The exam tests that this option provides the original full death benefit for the shortest time, making it appropriate when the policyowner needs full coverage for a defined near-term period but cannot continue premium payments.

Settlement Options:

When a life insurance death benefit is paid, the beneficiary can choose how to receive the proceeds. The exam tests all settlement options with distinctions about who bears the investment risk and what guarantees apply:

Lump sum: entire death benefit paid at once; the default option; proceeds not subject to income tax at receipt for death benefits.

Interest only: the insurer holds the proceeds and pays interest only to the beneficiary for a defined period; the principal (death benefit) remains intact and is paid to a contingent payee upon the primary beneficiary’s death or at the end of the period. The exam tests that the interest is taxable income to the beneficiary; the principal remains income-tax free.

Fixed period installments: proceeds are paid in equal installments over a defined period of years; payments end at the end of the period regardless of whether the beneficiary is living; a contingent payee receives remaining installments if the beneficiary dies during the period.

Fixed amount installments: a fixed dollar amount is paid each period until the proceeds are exhausted; the number of payments varies with the actual investment earnings credited.

Life income options: proceeds are paid as an annuity for the remainder of the beneficiary’s life. The exam tests the sub-types: life income only (payments stop at the beneficiary’s death – no remaining value), life income with period certain (payments guaranteed for a minimum period even if the beneficiary dies early), life income with refund (if the beneficiary dies before receiving the full principal, the remainder is paid to a contingent payee), and joint and survivor (payments continue over two lives, with a specified percentage continuing to the survivor).

Policy Exclusions:

The exam tests standard life insurance policy exclusions: war exclusion (death resulting from war, military service, or related causes may be excluded), aviation exclusion (death resulting from aviation activities other than commercial passenger flight – applies primarily to private pilots), and hazardous activity exclusions that may appear in specific policies.

Topic III: Completing the Application, Underwriting, and Delivering the Policy (11 Questions)

The life insurance application: The application is the legal foundation of the insurance contract and consists of two parts. Part 1 (General Information) covers the applicant’s personal information, type and amount of insurance requested, and beneficiary designation. Part 2 (Medical Information) covers the proposed insured’s health history, current medical status, and relevant lifestyle factors. The exam tests that an agent’s report may accompany the application but is NOT part of the policy – only the application becomes part of the contract when the policy is issued.

Insurable interest requirement: In life insurance, insurable interest must exist at the time of application. The exam tests who has insurable interest: the insured themselves (always), spouses, parents and children, business partners (in business-related policies), creditors (up to the amount of the debt), and employers (for key-person coverage). The exam tests that insurable interest need not exist at the time of claim – only at the time of application – because life insurance is a valued contract (pays the face amount regardless of the actual financial loss), not an indemnity contract.

Initial premium and conditional receipt: When the initial premium is collected with the application, the agent issues a conditional receipt. The exam tests what a conditional receipt provides: interim coverage from the date of the application (or medical exam, if required) conditioned on the applicant being found insurable as applied for at the standard rate. If the applicant dies during underwriting and would have been approved as applied for, the death benefit is paid. If the applicant would not have been approved at the standard rate or died before the medical exam, coverage is not in force.

Underwriting factors: The exam tests the sources of information used in underwriting: the application (primary source), Medical Information Bureau (MIB – a cooperative database of adverse medical information from prior applications), attending physician’s statements (APS), medical examinations (required for higher face amounts), inspection reports (financial and character information), and prescription drug databases. The exam tests that the MIB is not a medical records database but an alert system indicating adverse medical information was reported in prior applications.

Classification of risks: Underwriting classifies applicants into risk categories that determine their premium rate: preferred plus, preferred, standard plus, standard (the basis for policy pricing), substandard or rated (higher risk than standard – may be accepted at a higher premium using a flat extra or table rating approach), and declined (uninsurable). The exam tests what a flat extra premium is (a fixed dollar amount added per thousand of coverage, used for specific hazards that affect mortality uniformly regardless of age) versus a table rating (a percentage surcharge on the standard premium, used for impairments that affect mortality more as the insured ages).

Policy delivery requirements: The exam tests the producer’s obligations upon delivering the policy: deliver the policy promptly (the policy is not in force until delivered when no premium has been paid with the application), explain all policy provisions, riders, exclusions, and ratings to the client, collect the initial premium if not already paid, obtain a delivery receipt, and explain the free look period. In Nevada, if the initial premium was NOT paid with the application, the policy is effective only upon delivery to the owner and collection of the initial premium while the insured is in good health.

Contract law elements applied to insurance: The four elements required for a valid insurance contract: offer and acceptance (the application is the offer; the policy issuance is the acceptance, OR the conditional receipt when premium is paid with application), consideration (premiums paid by the applicant; promise to pay by the insurer), competent parties (applicant must be of legal age and sound mind; insurer must be licensed), and legal purpose (the contract must serve a legal objective and insurable interest must exist). The exam tests the distinctive contract characteristics: insurance contracts are contracts of adhesion (take it or leave it – drafted by the insurer, interpreted against the insurer in ambiguous cases), unilateral (only the insurer makes an enforceable promise), aleatory (outcome depends on chance – the insurer may pay much more or much less than the premiums received), and conditional (the insurer’s obligation to pay is conditioned on the occurrence of the insured event and compliance with policy conditions).

Topic IV: Retirement and Other Insurance Concepts (8 Questions)

Tax treatment of life insurance: The death benefit paid to a named beneficiary is received income tax-free. Policy cash value grows on a tax-deferred basis. Policy loans against cash value are not taxable as long as the policy remains in force (unless the policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract). Surrendering a policy for its cash value results in ordinary income tax on any gain (cash value minus cost basis – total premiums paid minus dividends received). Dividend payments from participating policies are considered a return of premium and are income-tax free until they exceed the total premiums paid; any excess is taxable.

Modified Endowment Contracts (MECs): Policies that fail the 7-pay test (premiums paid in the first seven years exceed what would be needed to fully pay up the policy in seven level annual payments) are classified as MECs. The exam tests MEC tax treatment: cash value distributions from MECs (loans, withdrawals, surrenders) are subject to LIFO tax treatment (interest/gains out first, then basis) and a 10% penalty applies to distributions before age 59½, similar to treatment of non-qualified annuities. Death benefits from MECs remain income-tax free.

Group life insurance: Employer-sponsored group term life insurance provides coverage to employees as a group without individual underwriting. The exam tests the master policy structure (employer holds the master policy; employees receive certificates of insurance), minimum participation requirements (typically 75% of eligible employees), and the tax treatment of employer-paid premiums – the first $50,000 of employer-provided group term life is excluded from the employee’s gross income; premiums for coverage above $50,000 are taxable to the employee based on IRS Table I rates.

Qualified retirement plans: The exam tests the general characteristics of qualified plans (pre-tax contributions, tax-deferred growth, distributions taxed as ordinary income at withdrawal) versus non-qualified plans (after-tax contributions, tax-deferred growth on earnings only). Specific plan types tested: Traditional IRA (pre-tax or after-tax depending on income and plan participation; distributions taxed as ordinary income), Roth IRA (after-tax contributions; qualified distributions tax-free), 401(k) (employer-sponsored defined contribution; salary deferral contributions pre-tax), SEP-IRA (simplified employee pension; employer contributions only; high contribution limits for self-employed), and defined benefit plans (employer promises a specific retirement benefit; employer bears investment risk).

Life settlements: A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy by a policy owner (who is not terminally ill) to a third-party investor for a lump sum greater than the cash surrender value but less than the face amount. The exam tests the distinction between a life settlement (policy owner is not terminally ill) and a viatical settlement (policy owner is terminally ill – covered in the Nevada state-specific section). Nevada licenses life settlement providers and brokers and requires specific disclosures to the policy owner.

Section 2: Nevada State-Specific Content (30 Scoreable Questions)

Part I: Nevada Statutes Common to Life, Health, Property, and Casualty Insurance

Nevada Insurance Commissioner (NRS Title 57): The Nevada Commissioner of Insurance regulates the state’s insurance industry through the Nevada Division of Insurance. The Commissioner’s authority includes: licensing producers and insurers, approving policy forms and rates, investigating market conduct, examining insurer financial condition, and taking disciplinary action against licensees who violate Nevada law. The exam tests what the Commissioner can and cannot do: the Commissioner regulates the business of insurance, not individual insurance disputes (which are handled through the courts).

Producer licensing requirements: Nevada resident producers must pass the applicable licensing exam, complete pre-licensing education, pass a background check (fingerprinting), and submit an application through NIPR or Sircon. Non-resident producers can obtain a Nevada license through reciprocity if their home state has a substantially similar licensing law. The exam tests license renewal: Nevada producer licenses are renewed every three years (not annually as in some states, and not based on the birthday rule – renewal is tied to the license issuance date cycle). Continuing education: Nevada requires 30 hours of CE per renewal period for life and health licensees (3 hours must cover ethics).

Unfair trade practices (NRS 686A): Nevada insurance law prohibits specific unfair practices. The exam tests each prohibited practice with its definition:

Misrepresentation: making false or misleading statements about a policy’s terms, benefits, or the financial condition of an insurer.

Twisting: inducing a policyowner to lapse, surrender, or cancel an existing policy and replace it with a new policy through misleading comparisons or incomplete information – the replacement serves the agent’s interests rather than the policyowner’s.

Rebating: offering or giving something of value beyond what is specified in the policy as an inducement to purchase insurance. The exam tests that rebating is illegal in Nevada – a producer cannot give a portion of their commission back to the client, offer gifts that exceed de minimis thresholds, or provide other financial inducements not in the policy.

Defamation: making false statements about another insurer or producer that injure their reputation.

False advertising: any advertising that is misleading, deceptive, or incomplete.

Nevada Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association: Protects policyholders when a licensed life or health insurer becomes insolvent. The Guaranty Association provides coverage up to specified dollar limits (the exam tests awareness of the protection without requiring memorization of specific dollar amounts, which are subject to change). The Guaranty Association is funded by assessments on member insurers and is not a state agency – producers must not use Guaranty Association membership as a sales tool.

Part II: Nevada Statutes Common to Life and Health Insurance

Credit life insurance: Life insurance written in connection with a loan or credit transaction, where the death benefit is designed to pay off the remaining loan balance upon the borrower’s death. Nevada requires that the amount of credit life insurance cannot exceed the amount of the indebtedness at the time the insurance is issued. The exam tests that credit life is a declining benefit (as the loan balance decreases, the insurance benefit decreases correspondingly) and that the creditor is named as the beneficiary up to the loan balance.

Advertising regulations: Nevada insurance advertising must be truthful and not misleading. The exam tests that producers cannot imply government affiliation or endorsement when none exists – particularly important for Medicare-related advertising, where using the words “Medicare” or “Social Security” in advertising without clear disclosure of the non-governmental nature of the product can violate Nevada advertising regulations. All advertising materials must be retained by the company for a specified period.

Viatical settlements (Nevada-specific): Nevada licenses viatical settlement providers (the companies that purchase policies) and viatical settlement brokers (intermediaries who represent the viator). Nevada law requires: disclosure to the viator of all offers received, a rescission period during which the viator can cancel the settlement, a minimum waiting period after policy issuance before a viatical settlement can be pursued (generally two years, with exceptions for terminal illness), and the right of the insurer to be notified of the viatical settlement. The exam distinguishes viatical settlements (terminally ill viator – life expectancy 24 months or less in most state definitions) from life settlements (healthy or non-terminally ill policyowner).

Part III: Nevada Statutes Pertinent to Life Insurance Only

Life insurance replacement (NRS 686A.060 and NAC 686A.510-.570): Replacement occurs when new life insurance is purchased and existing life insurance is lapsed, surrendered, converted, or otherwise terminated in connection with the new purchase. Nevada’s replacement regulations require:

The producer must ask the applicant whether existing life insurance coverage will be replaced.

If replacement is involved, the producer must provide the applicant with a “Notice to Applicants Regarding Replacement of Life Insurance” – a standardized comparison document.

The replacing insurer must send the existing insurer a copy of the comparison document within a specified timeframe.

The existing insurer must be given the opportunity to conserve the existing policy by presenting additional information to the policyowner.

The exam tests what constitutes replacement (any transaction that results in an existing policy being lapsed or surrendered in connection with the purchase) and what the producer must do in a replacement transaction – the specific disclosure document and notification requirements.

Ten-day free look period: Nevada requires a minimum ten-day free look period for individual life insurance policies. During this period, the policyowner may return the policy and receive a full refund of all premiums paid. The exam tests that the free look period begins when the policy is delivered to the policyowner – not when it is issued by the insurer. For replacement policies, Nevada requires a 30-day free look period.

Marketing methods and practices: The exam tests the producer’s fiduciary duty to clients – placing clients’ interests before their own, making suitable recommendations, and maintaining accurate records of transactions. The exam also tests what producers may and may not do: producers act as agents of the insurer (binding the insurer through acts within the scope of their authority), not as agents of the client (unlike brokers in states that make this distinction).

5 Study Tips for Nevada Life Producer

• Tip 1: Allocate study time proportional to question weight within General Knowledge. Policy Riders, Provisions, Options, and Exclusions carries 19 questions (38% of General Knowledge). Spend at least 38% of your General Knowledge study time mastering every dividend option, nonforfeiture option, and settlement option by name and function – not just as categories but as specific named alternatives with distinct characteristics.
• Tip 2: Memorize all three nonforfeiture options (cash surrender, reduced paid-up, extended term) with the key scenario distinction: reduced paid-up preserves permanent coverage at a reduced benefit; extended term provides the full original benefit for a temporary period. The exam frequently presents a scenario and asks which option is most appropriate.
• Tip 3: Study Nevada’s replacement rules (NRS 686A.060 and NAC 686A.510-.570) specifically – what triggers replacement, what the producer must provide to the applicant, and what notice must go to the existing insurer. These are precision questions in the State-Specific section where the exam tests the exact requirements rather than general awareness that replacement rules exist.
• Tip 4: Study Nevada unfair trade practices with specific definitions for misrepresentation, twisting, rebating, and defamation. The exam presents scenarios and tests which prohibited practice applies – the scenario descriptions are designed to make adjacent concepts seem plausible.
• Tip 5: Practice with Cert Empire’s Nevada Life Producer exam questions across both sections – General Knowledge at provisions and options precision depth, and Nevada State-Specific at replacement rules and unfair practices statutory accuracy.

FAQ’s

What is the Nevada Life Producer exam?

The Nevada Life Producer exam (InsNV_Life01) is the state licensing examination for the Life insurance producer license, administered by Pearson VUE for the Nevada Division of Insurance. Passing this exam authorizes the sale of life insurance policies, annuity contracts, endowment contracts, and group life insurance in Nevada.

How many questions are on the Nevada Life Producer exam?

97 total questions are presented: 60 in the General Knowledge section (50 scoreable + 10 pretest) and 37 in the Nevada State-Specific section (30 scoreable + 7 pretest). Only the 80 scoreable questions count toward the 70% passing threshold in each section.

Must both sections be passed in the same exam sitting?

Yes. Both General Knowledge and Nevada State-Specific sections must reach 70% independently in the same exam sitting. Failing either section requires rescheduling and retaking the full exam.

What is the most heavily tested topic area in General Knowledge?

Policy Riders, Provisions, Options, and Exclusions accounts for 19 of the 50 scoreable questions – 38% of the General Knowledge section. This topic includes all dividend options, nonforfeiture options, settlement options, and policy riders, each of which must be known precisely by name and function.

What does Nevada’s replacement rule require a producer to do?

When a new life insurance policy will replace existing coverage, the producer must: inform the insurer on the application that replacement is involved, provide the applicant with a standardized replacement notice and comparison document, and ensure that the replacing insurer notifies the existing insurer so it has the opportunity to conserve the policy. Violating replacement rules is an unfair trade practice under NRS 686A.

What is the difference between a life settlement and a viatical settlement in Nevada?

A viatical settlement involves a terminally ill policyholder (generally defined as having a life expectancy of 24 months or less) who sells their life insurance policy to a third party for a lump sum. A life settlement involves a policyholder who is not terminally ill. Both are regulated by Nevada, which requires licensing of providers and brokers and specific disclosures and rescission rights in both types of transactions.

What pre-licensing education is required before taking the Nevada Life Producer exam?

Nevada requires completion of a Division-approved pre-licensing education course. For the Life-only license, the minimum is 20 hours of approved instruction. The course must be completed before registering for the exam.
