A real reference for anyone preparing for the Florida Health and Life (incl. Annuities and Variable Contracts) Agent Exam 2-15 (DFS) exam — pass rate, retake policy, how it's scored, and a practical study timeline. This is independent reference content, not a sales page: everything below is sourced from Florida Health and Life Agent Exam (2-15)'s own certifying body.

What the Florida Health and Life Agent Exam (2-15) exam is

The Florida Health and Life agent exam (license 2-15) is the written examination required for the Health and Life (including Annuities and Variable Contracts) Agent license, class 0215 / 2-15 in Florida. It has 150 questions and a 165 minutes (2 hours 45 minutes) time allowance, and it is administered under the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS); examination administered by Pearson VUE.

Why it matters

A Florida insurance license is required by state law to sell or solicit the covered lines of insurance. Passing the written exam is a required step before the department issues the license.

Who this exam is for

People preparing to become licensed insurance agents in Florida and candidates retaking the exam. Prelicensing education and application requirements are set by the state; check them before you schedule.

Pass rate

The certifying body does not publicly publish an official pass rate for this exam. Be wary of third-party sites citing a specific number here — treat any pass-rate claim you see elsewhere for this exam as unverified.

If you don't pass — retake policy

A passing score is valid for one year, and the handbook sets a limit of five examination attempts for the same examination type; you pay the examination fee for each attempt.

How it's scored

Passing standard: The Florida candidate handbook states that the passing score for all examinations is 70%, computed by dividing the number of questions answered correctly by the number of scored questions. The exam has 150 questions with 165 minutes (2 hours 45 minutes). No official pass rate for this exam was available in the sources we reviewed, so none is quoted here.
