  1. 1A client wants permanent life coverage with premiums ordinarily level over the insured's life. Which product best fits?

    1. A. Ordinary level premium whole life
    2. B. Limited-payment whole life
    3. C. Annually renewable term life
    4. D. Flexible-premium universal life

    Answer: A

    Explanation: "Ordinary level premium whole life insurance: Premiums stay the same throughout the insured’s life" Ordinary whole life pairs permanent coverage with level premiums; limited-pay compresses payments, renewable term has a term, and universal life permits flexible premiums.

    Reference: NAIC, Life Insurance — Whole Life Insurance, Ordinary level premium whole life insurance

  2. 2An insured develops a disability expressly covered by a life policy's waiver-of-premium rider. Which effect does the rider provide?

    1. A. An increase in death benefit without a medical exam
    2. B. A refund of premiums if the insured survives
    3. C. A suspension of life premium payments under the rider
    4. D. An advance of death proceeds for long-term care

    Answer: C

    Explanation: "With a waiver of premium rider, you can stop paying your life insurance premium if you develop a covered illness or disability named in the rider." The covered disability triggers relief from premium payments under the waiver rider.

    Reference: NAIC, Life Insurance Consumer Guide — Life Insurance, Common Riders, Waiver of Premium

  3. 3An applicant notices an unanswered health question on a life application immediately before signing. What should the producer help the applicant do?

    1. A. Submit it and let underwriting request the missing answer
    2. B. Have the applicant answer it and review before signing
    3. C. Have the producer fill it from prior discussion notes
    4. D. Collect the premium and complete it at policy delivery

    Answer: B

    Explanation: "Do not sign an application until you review it carefully to be sure the answers are complete and accurate." Complete the missing health answer and review the whole application before signing.

    Reference: NAIC, Life Insurance Consumer Guide — Buying Life Insurance, application review

  4. 4An owner sells an in-force life policy to a third-party life settlement provider for cash. After the sale, who ordinarily owns the policy and collects its eventual death benefit?

    1. A. The original policyowner
    2. B. The insured's estate
    3. C. The life settlement provider
    4. D. The former designated beneficiary

    Answer: C

    Explanation: "The life settlement provider becomes the policy owner, must pay any premiums that are due, and eventually collects the full amount of the death benefit from the insurance company." The provider takes ownership and receives the later death benefit.

    Reference: NAIC, Understanding Life Settlements — Understanding Life Settlements, What is a Life Settlement?

  5. 5Under Colorado statute, which official heads the Division of Insurance?

    1. A. The commissioner of insurance
    2. B. The attorney general
    3. C. The state treasurer
    4. D. The secretary of state

    Answer: A

    Explanation: The statute states, "The commissioner of insurance is the head of the division of insurance." Therefore the commissioner, not another state officer, heads the division.

    Reference: Colorado Revised Statutes 2024 Title 10 — C.R.S. § 10-1-104(1), p. 16

  6. 6When initiating a Colorado life application, what replacement statement must the producer submit with the application?

    1. A. A statement signed only by the insurer about prior claims
    2. B. A statement signed by the applicant and producer about whether existing policies or contracts exist
    3. C. A statement signed only by the beneficiary about policy loans
    4. D. A statement from the existing insurer approving the sale

    Answer: B

    Explanation: The rule requires "a statement signed by both the applicant and the producer as to whether the applicant has existing policies or contracts." That is the statement described in option B.

    Reference: Adopted 2012 01051 — Regulation 4-1-4, § 5.A

  7. 7A buyer wants lifelong life coverage with premiums due annually for 20 years and no scheduled premiums thereafter. Which policy meets that design?

    1. A. Single-premium whole life
    2. B. Limited-payment whole life
    3. C. Level term life
    4. D. Variable whole life

    Answer: B

    Explanation: "Limited payment whole life insurance: Premiums are paid over a shorter time, but coverage lasts a lifetime." Limited-pay whole life separates the premium-payment period from the lifetime coverage period.

    Reference: NAIC, Life Insurance — Whole Life Insurance, Limited payment whole life insurance

  8. 8An insured wants to add death benefit at a future date specified in a life policy, without a new medical exam. Which rider addresses that need?

    1. A. Waiver of premium rider
    2. B. Guaranteed insurability rider
    3. C. Long-term care rider
    4. D. Accelerated death benefit rider

    Answer: B

    Explanation: "A guaranteed insurability rider lets you increase your death benefit at certain times in the future without a medical exam." Guaranteed insurability allows an increase at specified times without another medical exam.

    Reference: NAIC, Life Insurance Consumer Guide — Life Insurance, Common Riders, Guaranteed Insurability

  9. 9A Colorado group life insured makes statements in the written application attached to the master policy. How does Colorado law classify those statements?

    1. A. As warranties of literal truth
    2. B. As irrevocable policy amendments
    3. C. As representations rather than warranties
    4. D. As insurer endorsements rather than statements

    Answer: C

    Explanation: "shall be deemed representations and not warranties" The statute expressly treats these group-life application statements as representations.

    Reference: Colorado Revised Statutes 2026, Title 10 — C.R.S. § 10-7-202(1)(c), group life insurance applications

  10. 10An employer offers employees voluntary group life coverage and requires participating employees to pay the premiums. How is this funding arrangement classified?

    1. A. Employer-paid noncontributory coverage
    2. B. Employee-paid contributory coverage
    3. C. Business-owned key-person coverage
    4. D. Employer-owned buy-sell coverage

    Answer: B

    Explanation: "the employee pays for the premiums." Voluntary employee-paid group life is contributory; noncontributory coverage is employer-paid.

    Reference: NAIC, Small Business Insurance — Small Business Insurance, group life insurance
