Wrapping Up

The human brain can rationalize almost anything, including reasons or situations where an incorrect answer could be correct. It is easy to find yourself saying, “I need more information to answer this question!”…or “None of these answers are correct!”…or “I could make an argument that A and C are both correct!”

We actually called out one state’s Department of Insurance on several “sample questions” they had on their website that were poorly written, problematic, or just plain unanswerable. Their reply was a page long, but the general message was:

“Yeah, well plenty of people are passing the insurance prelicense exam…It is equally unfair. Deal with it.”

In the end the best advice we have is to keep an open mind, don’t panic and DON’T ARGUE WITH THE QUESTION, you have to answer it as it is written. Pick the best available answer and move on.
