I feel overwhelmed by the content of the Life Accident and Health Insurance Study material. Give me good study

Question

I have my exams on Wednesday next week. I haven't finished reading the study material yet, I have a couple of chapters left in the Accident and Health section. Right now am just scanning through it so as to finish and continue working on the practice exams. My sponsor company gave me 2 weeks to study, and take the exams. This has been taxing and overwhelming. What advise can you give me about my study habits so that I take the exams once and pass it in such a short time. How much preparation is adequate with regard to the time I have left?

I am in CT. They allow self study, which is what I am doing. I am required to take a closed book stimulated exam and print out a the prelicensing certificate. I obtained study materials from STC and it seems pretty sufficient.

Answer 1

I just passed my state exam and the thing that helped me the most is doing as many practice tests as possible! I also had a CD-Rom with practice tests and it helped a lot! Just scan over your reading and do practice tests over and over and you should be fine.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

What state are you in? In GA we have to attend a class for 40 hours. I used to teach it. I recommend no more than an hour of study, then take a short break, take the practice exam and go back over the parts that are giving you trouble. The night before the exam, get a good nights rest. When you take the test, be sure you read each question twice before you try to answer it just to make sure you know what they are asking. Then read all the answers. You can usually eliminate two right off and then if you don't know, give it your best guess. You should have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Good luck.

Answer 3

My company gave us one week to finish studying each text but usually we utilize three days. Obviously you are not very disciplined in studying.
My Advice:
Allocate a fixed time, sit down and just study. It's not that difficult and after reading the text once you should be able to understand most of it. Next, go back to the outline. If you spot anything that you can't understand, go back to the chapter and reread it. Do the practice exams. Check your answers. Now reread the practice exams as though it is a text. Highlight all tricky questions with their answers. I passed everything on my first attempt.
Good luck!
