How I Passed the LLQP Life License Exam On My Second Try

If you want to know how I passed the LLQP life licensing exam and how you can too, then this may be the most important message you read today.

On my first attempt I got a measly 58%. (The passing mark is 60%) I was actually a little shocked that I failed because I studied like crazy man for 2 months. Not to be defeated, I went back to the drawing board with even more determination, but deep inside I knew there had to be a better strategy than just rereading 600 plus pages of study notes.

So I'm going to reveal the secret that got me a 72% percent score on my second try with only a few extra days of studying. This secret was given to me by my division manager and it worked.

Here what he told me to do....

                                        Practice the online mock exams.

This is the strategy that gave me success. And here's why....

The mock exams are almost exactly the same questions that are on the the actual LLQP qualifying exam. In fact, many of the concepts, question formats and formulas are close to the questions you will find when you write the "real" exam.

Now here's the trick...

My strategy was to answer all the questions on the mock exams and then immediately check for the correct answers. Because the mock exams give you the correct answers at the end you can note the questions you got wrong. So I simply focused on the questions I had trouble with and then memorized the answers.

I know it sounds easy. But be warned, you will still have to study and understand the key concepts to pass the exam. However, I found that completing the mock exams helped tie together the theory from the study notes. As well, I got the correct answers to those questions that I had absolutely no idea of what the answer was. So my advice to you is to first read the study notes so you can understand the key concepts and then complete the mock exams to get a feel for the style of questioning and the exam format. 

Follow this advice and I guarantee you will increase your chances of success and hopefully you will pass on your first try.

  3. Good to know....I'm going to write my LLQP here soon. But for those are struggling, as I am one of those people, I went onto LinkedIn and conducted a search for a local LLQP tutor or instructor. It saved me a bunch of time and the tutor actually helped me through the exams and where I should be focusing my time studying.
