What the Georgia Life, Accident and Sickness Agent Exam exam is

The Georgia Life, Accident and Sickness agent combo exam (12-GA-06) is the written examination required for the Life, Accident and Sickness Agent license (combination examination 12-GA-06) in Georgia. It has 125 questions and a 150 minutes (2.5 hours) time allowance, and it is administered under the Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire (Georgia Insurance Department); examination administered by Pearson VUE.

Why it matters

A Georgia 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 Georgia 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

Candidates who do not pass may reschedule and pay the examination fee again; the handbook gives the current rules for reservation, retakes and the validity period of a passing result.
