Study for Iowa's Life, Health & Personal Lines exams against Pearson VUE's real blueprints.
Iowa has no combined Life & Health exam: the Life Producer exam (87 total questions) and the Accident & Health Producer exam (90 total questions) are each their own fully separate, 120-minute Pearson VUE exam. Iowa also licenses Personal Lines (Property & Casualty) as its own, separately-administered exam. LicensePath maps every category on all three real blueprints, whichever line (or lines) you're licensing for.
What the real Iowa Life & Health exams look like.
Both exams share the same two-tier Iowa-specific structure - a tier common to all lines of insurance, plus a line-specific tier - on top of the same national General Knowledge template used across every state LicensePath covers.
Both exams, mapped from the IID & Pearson VUE's own content outlines.
Every category below comes from Pearson VUE's official Iowa Insurance Content Outlines (publication #121601, effective January 1, 2026): a dedicated outline for the Life Producer exam, and a separate one for the Accident & Health Producer exam. Each exam's General Knowledge section reuses the same national category ids and weights used nationwide; each exam's Iowa-specific section shares one category (Statutes, Rules & Regulations Common to All Lines) word-for-word across both exams.
Life Producer Exam
- Life: Types of Policies19.5%
- Life: Riders, Provisions, Options & Exclusions19.5%
- Life: Application, Underwriting & Delivery15.6%
- Life: Retirement & Other Insurance Concepts10.4%
- Iowa Statutes, Rules & Regulations Common to All Lines19.5%
- Iowa Statutes, Rules & Regulations Pertinent to Life Insurance Only15.6%
Accident & Health Producer Exam
- Health: Types of Policies20%
- Health: Policy Provisions, Clauses & Riders18.8%
- Social Insurance7.5%
- Other Health Insurance Concepts6.3%
- Field Underwriting Procedures10%
- Iowa Statutes, Rules & Regulations Common to All Lines18.8%
- Iowa Statutes, Rules & Regulations Pertinent to Accident & Health Insurance Only18.8%
Both exams share the identical "Iowa Statutes, Rules & Regulations Common to All Lines" category, same title and same point weight in Pearson VUE's outline. Percentages above are each category's true share of its own exam's scored questions (Life: 77 scored; Accident & Health: 80 scored), which is why the shared category's percentage differs slightly between the two exams. LicensePath tracks the shared category as one verified category rather than two coincidentally similar ones, exactly as it's tested on both real exams.
What the real Iowa Personal Lines exam looks like.
Every Personal Lines question maps to a real category on the IID's content outline.
Personal Lines — General Knowledge (75 of 112 scored questions)
- Types of Property Policies8.9%
- Types of Casualty Policies11.6%
- Property and Casualty Insurance Terms and Related Concepts25%
- Property and Casualty Policy Provisions and Contract Law21.4%
Personal Lines — Iowa Specific (37 of 112 scored questions)
- Iowa Statutes, Rules, and Regulations Common to All Lines22.3%
- Iowa Statutes, Rules, and Regulations Pertinent to Property Insurance Only5.4%
- Iowa Statutes, Rules, and Regulations Pertinent to Casualty Insurance Only5.4%
Percentages are each category's share of the 112 scored questions on Iowa's Personal Lines Producer exam, per Pearson VUE's official Iowa Insurance Content Outline #121601.
Built from Iowa's Insurance Code and Pearson VUE's own materials, not guesses.
Every Iowa question in LicensePath, across Life, Health, and Personal Lines, is sourced from the Iowa Insurance Code and Iowa Insurance Division (IID) rules, then cross-checked against Pearson VUE's official Iowa Insurance Content Outlines (#121601, covering Life Producer, Accident & Health Producer, and Personal Lines Producer) before it's approved for release.
