Study Tips
Expert strategies for success
Focus on Wisconsin OCI Code
Wisconsin regulates insurance under Chapter 600-655 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Pay special attention to OCI rules on licensing (24 hours CE biennially with 3 hours ethics), unfair trade practices, and the Guaranty Fund.
Master annuity concepts thoroughly
Annuities represent a significant portion of the life line. Study fixed, variable, and indexed annuity differences, suitability requirements, and tax rules.
Practice with PSI-style questions
Wisconsin exams are administered by PSI Services. Practice with realistic multiple choice questions to build familiarity with the exam layout and timeframe.
Aim for 80%+ on mock exams
Consistently scoring 80% or higher on practice tests before taking the real exam provides a comfortable margin above the 70% passing score.
Common Mistakes
Pitfalls to avoid on test day
Wisconsin replacement regulations
Wisconsin requires strict replacement procedures, including a 30-day free-look period for replaced life insurance policies. Many candidates confuse these requirements.
Wisconsin Insurance Security Fund limits
Many test-takers confuse the Security Fund coverage limits. Wisconsin covers life insurance death benefits, cash values, health benefits, and annuities up to a maximum of $300,000 per insured life.
OCI enforcement penalties
Candidates often confuse OCI compulsive forfeiture limits. The Commissioner can levy forfeitures of up to $5,000 per day for non-compliance with an order.
Temporary license rules
Many candidates incorrectly guess that Wisconsin temporary licenses last 180 days (the NAIC standard). In Wisconsin, temporary licenses can be issued for up to 12 months.

Quick answers to the most common questions about the Wisconsin insurance licensing exam
How do I pass the Wisconsin Life and Health insurance exam on my first try?
To pass the Wisconsin insurance licensing exam on your first attempt, follow this strategy: First, complete the required 20 hours of OCI-approved pre-licensing education per line (40 hours total for Life and Health). Second, study the core topics systematically — life, health, annuities, and Wisconsin-specific laws. Third, complete at least 400+ practice questions until you score 80% or higher. Finally, focus on Wisconsin OCI regulations, including replacement rules, grace periods, and Wisconsin Insurance Security Fund limits ($300,000).
How many questions are on the Wisconsin insurance exam and what score is required?
Wisconsin does not offer a combined Life & Health exam. You must take separate exams: Life-Only (100 questions, 2-hour time limit) and Accident & Health-Only (100 questions, 2-hour time limit). A passing score of 70% is required for each exam. The exams are administered by PSI Services. We recommend aiming for 80%+ on practice tests to give yourself a comfortable margin.
What topics are covered on the Wisconsin insurance licensing exams?
The Wisconsin insurance exams cover major areas: Life insurance (policy types, beneficiary designations, settlement options, group life), Health insurance (medical expense coverage, disability income, long-term care, Medicare, ACA), Annuities (fixed, variable, indexed, immediate, and deferred, suitability, and taxation), General Insurance Principles (risk management, insurable interest, contract elements), and Wisconsin OCI regulations (intermediary licensing, replacement rules, free-look and grace periods, and unfair trade practices).
How much does the Wisconsin insurance exam cost and where is it taken?
The Wisconsin insurance exam fee is $75 per attempt per line of authority, paid directly to PSI Services. The exam is administered by PSI, either at PSI testing centers across Wisconsin or via remote online proctoring. You can schedule online at test-takers.psiexams.com/wiins or by calling 1-800-733-9267.
What are the pre-licensing education requirements for a Wisconsin insurance license?
Wisconsin requires 20 hours of OCI-approved pre-licensing education per line of authority. If you are seeking both Life and Accident & Health licenses, you must complete 40 hours total. Your education provider will report your completion to OCI and PSI. In addition, you must submit fingerprints through Fieldprint (using code FPWIOCIINSURANCE) for a background check prior to submitting your license application through NIPR.
What happens if I fail the Wisconsin insurance exam?
If you fail the Wisconsin insurance exam, you can retake it by scheduling another attempt with PSI and paying the $75 exam fee again. There is no mandatory waiting period to retake the exam, but you must pass within one year of completing your pre-licensing education.
How does the Wisconsin Insurance Security Fund protect policyholders?
The Wisconsin Insurance Security Fund protects Wisconsin policyholders if an authorized insurer becomes insolvent. The Fund limits its liability for life insurance death benefits, life cash value, health insurance benefits, and present value of annuity benefits to a maximum of $300,000 per insured life.
