Question 1:
Which of the following best describes the primary advantage of holding a Florida 2-
15 insurance license over a 2-14 or 2-40 license?
,2|Page
A) It allows the agent to sell property and casualty insurance in addition to life
products.
B) It requires fewer pre-licensing education hours than the other two licenses.
C) It provides the broadest scope of authority, including life, health, and variable
annuity products, enabling comprehensive client service and cross-selling.
D) It automatically grants the agent the ability to sell securities without any
additional registration.
Answer: C – It provides the broadest scope of authority, including life, health, and
variable annuity products, enabling comprehensive client service and cross-selling.
Rationale: The 2-15 license combines life, health, and annuity authority, unlike the 2-
14 (life and annuities only) or the 2-40 (health only). This breadth allows agents to
address more client needs in one relationship. It does not include property/casualty (A),
requires 60 hours (more than some, not fewer—B), and does not grant securities
authority without separate registration (D).
Question 2:
A Florida agent with a 2-15 license is permitted to sell which of the following
products without obtaining an additional insurance license?
A) Mutual funds and stocks
B) Term life insurance and Medicare supplement plans
C) Auto insurance and homeowners policies
D) Workers’ compensation and commercial liability coverage
Answer: B – Term life insurance and Medicare supplement plans.
Rationale: The 2-15 license explicitly covers life insurance (including term life) and
health insurance (including Medicare supplements). Mutual funds and stocks (A)
require securities licenses; auto/homeowners (C) and workers’ comp/commercial
liability (D) fall under property and casualty lines, which are not included in the 2-15
scope.
Question 3:
What is the minimum pre-licensing education requirement for a Florida 2-15 license
applicant?
A) 20 hours
B) 40 hours
,3|Page
C) 60 hours
D) 90 hours
Answer: C – 60 hours.
Rationale: Florida mandates a 60-hour state-approved pre-licensing course for the 2-
15 license. The other hour totals are incorrect for this specific license; 20 and 40 are too
low, and 90 exceeds the requirement.
Question 4:
To legally sell variable annuities under a Florida 2-15 license, the agent must also:
A) Hold a separate Florida 2-40 health license.
B) Complete an additional 20-hour annuity-specific course and pass a separate exam.
C) Register with FINRA and obtain the appropriate securities registration (e.g., Series
6 or 7) unless otherwise exempt.
D) Obtain written approval from the Florida Department of Financial Services for
each annuity sale.
Answer: C – Register with FINRA and obtain the appropriate securities registration
(e.g., Series 6 or 7) unless otherwise exempt.
Rationale: Variable annuities are securities; while the 2-15 license authorizes the
insurance component, selling them typically requires a securities license (e.g., Series 6
or 7) and FINRA registration. The 2-40 (A) is for health only; there is no separate 20-
hour annuity exam for this purpose (B); and DFS does not pre-approve each individual
sale (D).
Question 5:
Which state agency oversees the issuance and regulation of the Florida 2-15 license?
A) Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR)
B) Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS)
C) Florida Division of Consumer Services
D) Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR)
Answer: B – Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS).
Rationale: The DFS is the licensing authority for insurance agents in Florida. The OIR
(A) regulates insurers and rates, not agent licensing; the Division of Consumer Services
(C) handles complaints; and DBPR (D) regulates professions like real estate and
contractors, not insurance.

Question 6:
An applicant for a Florida 2-15 license must be at least what age?
A) 16
B) 18
C) 21
D) 25
Answer: B – 18.
Rationale: Florida law sets the minimum age for an insurance agent license, including
the 2-15, at 18 years old. Ages 16, 21, and 25 are not the statutory minimum for this
license.
Question 7:
What is the passing score required on the Florida 2-15 licensing examination?
A) 60%
B) 65%
C) 70%
D) 75%
Answer: C – 70%.
Rationale: The Florida 2-15 exam requires a score of 70% to pass. The other
percentages are either below the requirement (60%, 65%) or above the actual passing
threshold (75%).
Question 8:
Which of the following is NOT a product that a 2-15 licensee can sell?
A) Long-term care insurance
B) Disability income insurance
C) Whole life insurance
D) Commercial general liability insurance
Answer: D – Commercial general liability insurance.
Rationale: Commercial general liability is a property/casualty line, not covered under
