2025 Study Set | 165-Question Independent Practice
Exam
Seven sections | Original practice scenarios | Answer and rationale after every item
Practice material—not an official exam. Questions in this booklet are independently written study items. They are
not actual Florida examination questions, and answers have not been officially endorsed or graded. This set does not
predict a score or guarantee an exam result.
Official exam format note: The Pearson VUE Florida Insurance Examination Content Outlines effective January 1,
2026 list 150 scored questions plus 15 pretest questions and a 2 hour 45 minute limit for the 2-15 examination. This
165-item practice set is not the state exam and does not identify any item as scored or pretest.
Florida-law note: Statutes, regulations, product forms, and exam outlines may change. Confirm current requirements
with the Florida Department of Financial Services, Office of Insurance Regulation, the Florida Statutes, and the
applicable policy. Where Florida free-look rules are discussed, this exam distinguishes life-policy consumer guidance
from statutory annuity rules; the 21-day annuity period is not limited to buyers age 65 or older.
Suggested practice: answer each question before reading the marked answer and rationale. The
marked option is shown for study and review.
