How Many Questions on the Texas Life and Health Exam?

Texas Life Agent is 90 questions. Life, Accident and Health is 145 questions.

People search this because the numbers online disagree. Some sites say 150 questions when they mean 150 minutes. Others skip pretest items. Use the Pearson VUE content outline and Candidate Handbook as the source of truth, then confirm before you book.

This page covers the Life Agent path and the General Lines Life, Accident and Health path that most GetLicensedTX readers sit.

Life Agent exam (InsTX-Life01)

You see 90 questions total. Of those, 80 are scored and 10 are unscored pretest items mixed in with no labels. The outline breaks that into 50 scored plus 5 pretest on general life knowledge, and 30 scored plus 5 pretest on Texas specific content. Time allotted is 120 minutes. Exam fee is $39 at the test center per the handbook table.

Life, Accident and Health exam (InsTX-LAH05)

You see 145 questions total. Of those, 130 are scored and 15 are unscored pretest items. That is 100 scored plus 10 pretest on general life and health knowledge, and 30 scored plus 5 pretest on Texas specific content. Time allotted is 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes). Exam fee is $49.

Spanish versions of these majors exist with the same time limits. Confirm the exact exam code when you schedule.

Why people confuse 145 and 150

One hundred fifty minutes is the clock for the combined Life and Health sitting. One hundred forty five is the number of items on screen. If a blog says 150 questions, treat that as a red flag and open the outline PDF yourself.

Passing score

TDI sets the passing score. Pearson VUE reports a scaled score. Passing is 70 on that scale. Do not assume you need 70 percent of every item you saw, because pretest items do not count and scaling is not a raw percent.

Pacing that matches the clock

Life Agent: 90 items in 120 minutes is about 1 minute 20 seconds each if you use the full clock. Leave a buffer for flagged questions.

Life and Health: 145 items in 150 minutes is about one minute each. That is tight. Practice full timed sets so the pace feels normal before exam day.

What not to do

Do not study for Life and Health if you booked Life only. Do not ignore Texas law items. Those 30 scored state questions are a large share of both exams. Do not burn the first twenty minutes on one hard stem.
