Study for all four of Illinois's Life & Health exams against IDOI's real blueprints.
Illinois doesn't test Life or Health as one exam, or even one exam per line: each line requires passing BOTH a "General" exam (national product and underwriting knowledge) and a "State" exam (Illinois-specific statutes), scored separately. LicensePath maps every category on all four real Illinois exams, going well beyond the single exam most prep sites cover.
What the real Illinois exams look like.
- Life insurance content: 29% (50 of 170 combined)
- Health insurance content: 29% (50 of 170 combined)
- Illinois statutes & regulations: 41% (70 of 170 combined)
This is the real, fixed weighting from Pearson VUE's Illinois content outline (#121402), summed across the two General and two State exams a full Life & Health producer passes.
All four exams, mapped from IDOI & Pearson VUE's own content outlines.
Every category below comes from Pearson VUE's official Illinois Insurance Content Outlines (#121402). The two General exams reuse the exact same national category ids and point weights Texas's own outline uses, a fourth independent confirmation, after Florida, Georgia and Colorado, that this national taxonomy is real and shared across every state we've checked.

Weights are point counts (question counts), each exam's real share as printed in Pearson VUE's Illinois Insurance Content Outlines (#121402, effective January 1, 2026). The two State exams share the identical "Statutes Common to..." section (same title, same 22-point weight), so LicensePath tracks it as one verified category rather than two coincidentally similar ones.
Built from the Illinois Insurance Code and Pearson VUE's own materials, not guesses.
Every Illinois question in LicensePath is sourced from 215 ILCS 5 (the Illinois Insurance Code), fetched directly from ilga.gov, then cross-checked against Pearson VUE's official Illinois content outline before it's approved for release.
Curious how state exam blueprints are built, or why every practice question carries a citation? Two short guides cover both: what's actually on your state's insurance exam and why we cite every practice question.
