Thank you for taking a look at our Life Insurance Study Cards. These are for the 85% general, not state specific. Although I have far more experience in making classes and study materials for Securities Exams, I have been a licensed insurance rep for over 12 years. When my wife decided to start pursuing her insurance license, I decided I wanted to try and help her by creating flash cards for her. I figured I should share them with everyone, so people can see the kind of work we do, so if you have questions about any of the Securities Exams, you can let us know. Please, if you have suggestions for the cards, additional topics/concepts you think should be added, please let me know! Feel free to distribute these to anyone who needs them, just do not modify the file in anyway, and keep my credit. www.TheSecuritiesGuys.guru Brian Kolins -

Thank you for taking a look at our Life Insurance Study Cards. These are for the 85% general, not state specific.

Although I have far more experience in making classes and study materials for Securities Exams, I have been a licensed insurance rep for over 12 years.

When my wife decided to start pursuing her insurance license, I decided I wanted to try and help her by creating flash cards for her.

I figured I should share them with everyone, so people can see the kind of work we do, so if you have questions about any of the Securities Exams, you can let us know.

Please, if you have suggestions for the cards, additional topics/concepts you think should be added, please let me know!

Feel free to distribute these to anyone who needs them, just do not modify the file in anyway, and keep my credit.
