The harmonized LLQP is modular. Life, Accident & Sickness and Segregated Funds & Annuities each contain 35 questions, while Common Law Ethics contains 25. Five questions in each module are pilot questions excluded from the final score.
| Module | Total | Scored | Pilot | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life | 35 | 30 | 5 | 75 min |
| A&S | 35 | 30 | 5 | 75 min |
| Seg Funds | 35 | 30 | 5 | 75 min |
| Ethics — Common Law | 25 | 20 | 5 | 75 min |
Worked example: What does 60% mean?
Common Law Ethics: There are 20 scored questions plus five unscored pilots. Sixty percent of 20 is 12 correct scored answers.
You cannot identify the pilot items while writing, so answer all questions. Aim above the minimum in practice to allow for unfamiliar scenarios. These counts and the 60% threshold are published by Durham College.
Can you identify the pilot questions?
No. They are integrated into the module. Treat every question seriously because you do not know which items count toward your final score.
What does a 60% pass mark mean for practice?
Do not target the minimum. A practice score only slightly above 60% can be fragile if the question mix changes. Use practice to build a margin and to identify competency areas where your performance is inconsistent.
Why module-level scores matter
The LLQP is not one combined 100-question licensing exam. Prepare for each module independently. A strong Life score does not compensate for a weak Ethics result.
