The AINS™ 101 is a difficult exam. It’s the first in a series of three exams for the AINS™ certification.

This exam focuses on the topics of insurance, risk management, and insurance departments (such as claims, marketing, and underwriting).

In this blog, I’m going to answer some of the most common questions that we receive about the AINS™ 101 exam. In this blog we will answer the following questions:

What is the AINS™ 101 exam format?

The AINS™ 101 exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions in the virtual exam.

The virtual AINS™ exams will be 65-minutes long. Meaning, to answer every question before the time runs out, you should plan on spending about 1 minute and 18 seconds to answer each question (50 questions in 65 minutes).

All questions on the virtual exam will be application-based scenario questions. These are tricky questions that require you to apply your knowledge to a real-life scenario to choose the appropriate answer (you will not be repeating a definition or concept). That means, there is really no way to cheat on your exam, so don’t even try.
