| Administering body | Virginia State Corporation Commission, Bureau of Insurance — exam delivered by Prometric The bulletin says the exam can be taken at any Prometric test center in the United States or remotely proctored through Prometric's ProProctor application. The Bureau's application page names a required pre-licensing course only for the Title licence (16 hours); it lists none for Life and Annuities or Health.

| Questions | 150 questions (140 scored, 10 unscored pretest) The outline heading reads "140 scored (10 pretest) questions". Its 16 content sections cite Virginia law inside the topics rather than as a separately counted part; Prometric's report to the Bureau says the general and Virginia portions are scored together as one exam. Pretest questions are not identified and do not count. Source: Prometric — Virginia Life, Annuities, and Health Insurance Examination, Series 11-01 content outline (2026-09-22) |
| Time limit | 150 minutes The bulletin's exam list gives 150 minutes; the content outline states the same limit as 2.5 hours. Source: Prometric — Virginia Bureau of Insurance Licensing Information Bulletin (effective December 13, 2024) (2026-09-22) |
| Passing score | 70% The bulletin and outline do not print the passing score; Prometric's June 2025 – May 2026 report to the Bureau states that the cut score for each exam is set to 70% correct, a raw cut of 98 for this exam. After a failed attempt a candidate must wait 24 hours before booking again, and after a third failure Virginia law requires a 30-calendar-day wait.

| Fees |
The $35 exam fee is from the bulletin's exam list. The Bureau charges a non-refundable $15 processing fee per qualification, and the combined exam leads to two qualifications. The bulletin says an exam registration expires 90 calendar days after processing, and a passed exam stays valid for a licence application for 183 calendar days.

| Languages offered | English The bulletin states "All examinations are given in English"; candidates whose primary language is not English may request an ESL authorization for up to time-and-one-half. Prometric's free Life and Health practice exams are offered in English and Spanish, but those are practice tests, not exam forms.
