How this list was compiled: Own questions, written from Title 41 of the Idaho Code as published by the Idaho Legislature at https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title41/, downloaded and read on 2026-10-09: chapter 1 (section 41-117, the general penalty), chapter 10 (producer licensing), chapter 13 (trade practices and frauds), chapter 18 (the insurance contract), chapter 19 (life insurance policies and annuity contracts), chapter 20 (group life insurance), chapter 21 (disability insurance policies), chapter 22 (group and blanket disability insurance), chapter 43 (the Idaho Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association), chapter 44 (Medicare supplement insurance) and chapter 46 (long-term care insurance). Statutes only: no rule of the Idaho Administrative Code was read. No question here was taken from a prelicensing course, a testing vendor's handbook or a question pool, so this bank does not cover the product knowledge the state exams also ask. The topics were compared on October 9, 2026 with the Idaho Specific Knowledge part of the Idaho Life Producer and the Accident and Health or Sickness (Disability/Health Producer) examination content outlines, which the Idaho Department of Insurance posts on its Testing and Fingerprints page, https://doi.idaho.gov/industry/licensing-services/testing-and-fingerprints/ (the outlines: https://doi.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/Licensing/LIFE-CO.pdf and https://doi.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/Licensing/AHS-CO.pdf). Licence: Own work. Every question, wrong choice and explanation was written for this site from the text of the law. Nothing comes from a testing vendor, a prep course or an exam question pool.
