Rhode Island Life & Health Insurance pass rate & how retakes work

Quick answer

There is no official published pass rate for the Rhode Island Life & Health Insurance exam — like most licensing exams, results are reported as pass or fail, so any specific "Rhode Island Life & Health Insurance pass rate" figure online is an unofficial estimate, not a number from the exam authority. What is defined is the passing score: you must score 70%. If you don't pass, you can retake the exam.

Is there a published Rhode Island Life & Health Insurance pass rate?

No. The exam authority reports each candidate's result only as pass or fail and does not release an official first-time or overall pass rate. Any exact "Rhode Island Life & Health Insurancepass rate" figure you see online is an unofficial estimate, not a number from the authority.

The one "pass" number that is actually defined is the passing score — 70%. That is a passing SCORE, not a pass RATE, and the two are easy to confuse.
