LLQP Exam Format: Questions, Timing, Pilot Questions & Pass Mark

A practical guide to the current harmonized LLQP exam structure and how to prepare for the modular format.

Current LLQP exam format

Durham College's LLQP administration information states that the provincial exam is multiple-choice, with four answer choices and one correct answer. Each module has a 75-minute limit and requires 60% to pass.

Life Insurance3530575 minutes
Accident & Sickness3530575 minutes
Segregated Funds & Annuities3530575 minutes
Ethics & Professional Practice — Common Law2520575 minutes

What are pilot questions?

Five pilot questions are integrated into every module. They are used to evaluate potential future exam items and are excluded from your final score. You are not told which questions are pilot questions, so every item should be treated seriously.

Is the LLQP open book?

Yes. For in-person exams, candidates are supplied approved reference material on an electronic tablet. No personal manuals or notes are permitted at the desk. Open-book preparation therefore rewards navigation, interpretation and application rather than simple memorization.

Why LLQPprep does not call its 100-question test an official mock

The actual LLQP licensing exam is modular, not a single 100-question paper. LLQPprep uses a 100-question Mastery Challenge as a broader retrieval exercise. It should complement module-specific preparation, not be confused with the official module format.

Pacing:

For 35-question modules, 75 minutes is a little over two minutes per question. Ethics gives more time per question, but careful reading and efficient use of the reference material still matter.

Prepare for the Actual Modular Format

Use the exam format as your pacing benchmark, then build deeper question, calculation and scenario practice inside LLQPprep.
