Combine our prep material with your prelicensing education provider’s specific state law content, and position yourself to pass your exam quickly.

Jerry has also developed a Super Sheet for math problems and formulas, and another Super Sheet for key numbers tested on the exam and he includes these two helpful study aids as part of the package.

This package is for that person who has studied the material and taken the exam but still needs a very small exam score bump. By adding the Super Sheets to the test bank, this package may give you a much needed extra boost in your understanding of the material to pass the exam.
National Exam Prep Package ($119). The National Exam Prep Package is our most popular and recommended package. This package contains all of Professor Furniss’ learning tools. Nothing is left out. If you have never taken the insurance exam, this is the package that you must have. Or, if you have taken the exam one or more times and need to make sure that you really understand the material, this is the package for you. Professor Furniss believes that if you need more than just a couple of points boost in your exam score, that it is worth the price difference to purchase this package. You will save enough money in one retest fee to pay for the extra cost of this package.

Helpful Maryland Articles Written by Professor Furniss |
“Thanks for your response so quickly. I remembered lots of the info from the course, and was able to pass both the health and limited lines.”
“I wanted to thank you for the excellent job you did…. I am pleased to say that I passed both exams.”
“Sorry I have not been able to get back to you, I have been really busy trying to run one business I own while studying for the insurance exams and getting everything in place with the insurance business purchase. I read your entire book in 3 days. Not only to get as much material in my head as possible, but because it was actually interesting reading. I don’t know how you do it, but your books are so much easier and more enjoyable to read than anything else I have put in my hands. I also have two other well known companies’ books that I have used in getting my license but there is absolutely no comparison in the books. I am not just saying it to be nice. I hope everyone is able to find you on the internet because not only are you a great group of guys, your books are incredible. You will hear more from me and I WILL be sending many more people your way. I will not forget what you guys did for me. If you ever want a testimonial for your advertising let me know, I would be honored to share my experience with everyone. Thanks once again.″
“I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that I passed my tests and to let you know how much I appreciated your course.”
″I am licensed insurance agent in Life, Disability, Property, Casualty, and Surety, and I am a licensed as a consultant in Life and Disability Insurance.
Over the course of several years I have taken multiple classes from Dr. Furniss including university courses, and insurance licensing classes. I have found Professor Furniss’ lectures and classes to be informative, concise and easy to learn from. His presentation style helps maintain the attention of the audience and engage them in the information being presented.
I would recommend highly recommend his services.”
“I REALLY enjoyed your course. You certainly have a dynamic, entertaining style of driving those points home. You sure made a dry subject very memorable and interesting!”
“I recently took your course…. By the time Saturday rolled around, the test was a formality- it was like having the answer key.”
″I am an X-high school teacher and 31 year multi-line insurance agent and a few months ago I attended a “Long Term Care Insurance Partnership Plan Seminar” taught by long term law professor Dr. Jerry Furniss. I personally have attended so many classes in my lifetime I can not even come close to counting them all- Dr. Furniss stands head and shoulders above any instructor I have ever taken a course from. We expected all the information could be covered in two hours, however he kept the entire class spell bound for an entire day. I have simply never seen what could easily have been a dry subject turned into such an interesting, humorous, serious set of examples and circumstances explained in such a straightforward way that even an average high school student would have been thoroughly prepared by the end of our day.
Dr. Furniss, thank you so much for the many hours you put in required for such an extraordinary delivery.″

180 Licensing Insurance Exam Prep, Inc. is an exam prep company. Its founder, Professor Jerry Furniss, created 180 Licensing, to help you pass your insurance licensing exam the fastest and easiest way possible. And, he has provided state specific articles and helpful links to answer your testing and licensing questions on his website.
Just click on the Licensing and Testing Info tab on this page to track down those details. You can also call us at 800-270-1385 or email us. We would love to hear from you and try our best to provide you with answers to your questions.
Quite simply – to help you pass the exam the fastest and easiest way possible. Professor Furniss has spent thousands of hours designing his materials to help you pass your exam the first time. And, he has helped over 10,000 students just like you obtain and maintain their professional licenses.
We find that lots of students who have taken other courses still need some exam prep help. That’s where our courses shine. So, whether you are struggling with the exam and need a bump of a few points, or just beginning your insurance exam prep studies, we have you covered. And, our National Exam Prep Packages contain all of our learning tools.
With the National Exam Prep Package, you will receive access to two great digital manuals – one covering national materials and one covering general state rules and regulations. Both are in electronic, PDF format and are downloadable and printable. You are free to have your local copy shop print and bind a copy for you. Please note that we do not include our manuals with our Practice Questions Package or our Practice Questions PLUS Package, only with the National Exam Prep Package.

No certificate will be given from us. However, you will have received a needed certificate from your Maryland approved prelicensing education provider.
Use us to help push you over the top on the exam. That’s where our materials and learning tools shine.
One size does not fit everyone. While we do provide a suggested pathway: Read the chapter, then go through Quick Review Slides with Rapid Fire Drills, then go through the test bank for that chapter using the Exam Review Mode. Finally, do a quick read over that chapter’s Super Sheet and take our chapter questions in a timed exam (Exam Simulation Mode). Having said all of that, it is really up to you. You are free to move around our material with no restrictions in order to find a learning pathway that works best for you.
If you purchase our National Exam Prep Package, and you are just beginning the study of insurance, you should consider spending approximately 3 weeks. Some students report being ready in one week; others take 5-6 weeks. We think that planning a solid daily schedule over 2-3 weeks works for most students. If you just need a small bump in your exam score, you may be able to “fast track” your studies using one or more of our learning tools. You should use our materials after you have completed your required prelicensing education from an Maryland approved provider. Then, in order to either fully prep for the exam the first time or to help you over the hump in the event that you are falling short of a passing score, you should consider using our materials.
Our focus in Maryland is to help you pass your insurance licensing exam the fastest and easiest way possible. We have not applied to become an approved prelicensing education provider in Maryland. Purchasing our materials does not meet your prelicensing education requirement. Use our materials with the state specific content from your prelicensing education provider to prep for the exam and get the extra edge needed to pass the exam.
Our National Exam Prep Packages include every exam prep tool we offer in a single package. Specifically, they include a(n):
- Easy To Read Manual. Our course packages include a comprehensive, yet easy to read, manual with important test points highlighted, each paragraph star ranked based on topic importance, critical test points identified, and loads of examples.Here is what Joe, one of our very satisfied customers from Virginia, had to say about our manual:
“Sorry I have not been able to get back to you, I have been really busy trying to run one business I own while studying for the insurance exams and getting everything in place with the insurance business purchase. I read your entire book in 3 days. Not only to get as much material in my head as possible, but because it was actually interesting reading.

Maryland contracts with Prometric which provides for online registration and provides the insurance exams at multiple testing centers in Maryland. The biggest bit of advice we can you give is to try to schedule your exam several weeks in advance. This does a couple of good things. First, it lets you put your study plan of action in place and provides an incentive to stay on track. Second, you want to make sure you have a spot when you are ready to take the exam.
If you need to change your date, that is normally not a problem, but you should do so with enough warning to avoid a penalty. The Licensing & Testing tab on this page provides you with succinct directions.
Go to the Prometric website to schedule your exam.
- Take your required prelicensing education course and obtain your course certificate
- Prep for your exam (3-5 weeks; includes course time)
- Already Taken an Approved Course and Still Need Help Passing the Exam?
Purchase our National Exam Prep Package at least 3 weeks before you next plan to take your exam. Plan to do daily prep and to take the exam immediately after you finish the materials.
- Already Taken an Approved Course and Still Need Help Passing the Exam?
- Make an examination reservation (online) and pay the exam fee. Register several days in advance. Exams may also be taken online (Exam Provider: Prometric).
- Take and pass your licensing exam (Prometric test centers)

We have used these outlines and lots of other sources, including researching insurance rules and regulations, to develop our course materials. We don’t find these outlines too helpful in and of themselves, as they are fairly general in nature. That’s why we reference many different sources of information to develop our materials.
