• Note: The Delaware state insurance exam consist of two sections: general insurance concepts and state-specific laws and regulations. If only one section of the exam is successfully completed, applicants must only retake the section that was not passed. However, a candidate must pass the failed section within 12 months of successfully completing the first section in order to pass the entire state exam. If both sections are not passed within this 12 month period, the entire exam must be retaken.
